Update:
After a new update that addresses turn time, the first turn, even with the animations obviously turned off, took more than an entire minute to resolve on an iPad 3. Save your money.
The new navy mechanics are fun, but in an entirely unacceptable (though not unsurprising) move, Herocraft has included ads for other games it sells.
This is a premium game, in game marketing isnt ok, despite the app store rules allowing it. I didnt pay $10 for a war game to see some stupid soccer game ad when I boot the game up.
