True, but I included the platinum general because I wanted a clear intermediate step between the gold general and the jeweled general. A Phoenix or Kirin would be probably be slightly stronger than a jeweled general, due to it have two square moves. However, I could add a Phoenix/Kirin, pehaps even with the promotions to Queen or Lion!
It seems like this would solve the problem:
Move the iron generals forward by one rank, giving more space for pieces.
Add a promotable Pheonix/Kirin pair just in front of the Silvers.
However, this has no initial riders or oblique leapers. Oh well, there's always some problem with any variant.
