King of Dragon Pass - Thoughts and advice requests

[Wizfall]

There are quite a lot of info in the manual, i know i needed to read it several times to put everything together (because quite a lot of mechanics at first) .
But this kind of gameplay is really my thing so it's a pleasure to me to spend time finding the best strategies and notice every small details so eventually i became good at this kind of games.
Easy to understand it's not for everyone.

so I'm playing the game for the first time. I understand that the Steam version is a bit "streamlined" and probably more straightforward. Generally I'm ok with this but there seems to be missing the option to occupy the lands of those clans you SMASH during wars. Here I am with no more wildlands to expand on, clans moving away from me due to the pwnage and still can't seem to get new land. Do you guys have any tips?
Also, should I 100% move away from the Steam version? I read one of the devs saying some bugs were fixed and scenes added, so idk.
Thanks for the feedback

Your clan doesn't have an imperialistic mindset (yet..). You beat up the neighbours, take some cows, make them pay tribute, maybe take a few of their prettier girls as thralls..

The end-game is about transforming your bumfuck hill tribesmen into a real serious political force that can do more than steal livestock and kidnap people.

I love, nay: adore and admire the original game. That smartphony remake is an aesthetical abomination in my book though. They utterly destroyed the graphical coherency of the original game (which is a pure piece of art because every element organically fits the overall style and flair of the world the game depicts) by tearing limb from limb and again sewing it together like fucking Frankenstein's monster just to fit shitty smartphones and tablets. Just look what they did with the atmospheric season pictures or with the gui. The only good thing of the remake is the enhanced music.
