Yes, definitely. Provinia is too crowded already -- and new players are
being dropped into a war zone.

Alternately, maybe you could create a 'port into every (most?) city, and
allow the current owner to decide whether it is active or not.
Or perhaps one 'port per continent, and city (& structure?) owners can
"vote" on whether it is active.
For Game 2 (when will that start? hint, hint) you might even want to consider
making them two-way -- if you charge appropriately for their use, it would be
impractical to use them for military campaigns, but it would really accelerate
trade, communication, and civilization.
