Interesting enough, at the current time of this post the next version of Strongholds is already under review by iTunee according to Ashenebal (one of the devs for this app) on Toucharcade forums, and it addresses some of the main concerns that were raised. There will be multiplayer and custom settings, as well as a few difficulty levels for the AI.
Strategy games differ for everyone, and my word is that if you like turn based strategy, chances are you'll like Strongholds.

I now eagerly await v1.5 to be released. :)
