Where is the multiplayer?! – ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS　2 Review

First I want to thank Koei for bringing this classic game to the masses via iOS. I played many versions starting with SNES. This is the simplest of the versions. While it is still fun it really needs at least some of the traditional complexity to feel satisfying. Things that are part of the series that I wish were added in a future update: 1. Multiplayer needed. Playing against the AI is not particularly challenging. Even allowing one other player to join makes a huge difference in the challenge. 2. Unit variety (archers, cavalry, etc) 3. Add fortress sieges after a successful field battle. 4. Choosing the order in which you complete province turns. Currently you have to complete province turns in sequence and it adds unnecessary complexity for larger empires. 5. Ability of captured generals to refuse recruitment. Option to imprison them. 6. Seasonal variations in market prices. 7. Generals with multiple skills rather than the basic stats. 8. More specific province improvements rather than the general development. 9. Reinforce battles from your own provinces. I think Koei should have a basic RTK (like this one) and an advanced one for players like myself who want the traditional RTK experience from the computer / console versions.
