FOTS pre-order bonuses

1. Breaking up the pre-order clans was a concession to the retailers (not customers). The customer does not benefit from this, leave him/her out of your response dear CA brand mgr.

I suspect they've said it enough that they believe it themselves.

EDIT: Though maybe they're just taking the game to the next level. Shogun 2 is all about choice. You can't research all the techs - you need to prioritize. You can't upgrade your characters completely - pick just the traits and abilities you can't spare. Now it's choose which clans you want - but you will have to sacrifice others to get them.
