other than the queen

VivikittyCAT

I'll call it the brwata

ChipTheBoi

The Healer

Notation Symbol: H
Value: ???
Moves Like: King
Amount Per Player: 1
Starting Position(s): W: a3/h3; B: a6/h6 (player decides where before the game starts)
Can Pawns Promote to It?: No
Can It Attack?: Yes.
Can It Be Captured?: Yes
Appearance: A cane (not as in "a dog")

The Healer's specialty is, well, healing. Whenever a piece is captured, within the next 2 moves, the Healer can bring it back, at the expense of its own life.

For this new piece to be able to do its work, the dead piece's starting ranks (1 and 2 for White, 8 and 7 for Black) must have a clear square, because there is where it'll reappear upon revival. It's up to the player where the piece will resurface. As for the Healer, it's gone forever...

A revival is notated like so:
"H^[Piece Being Revived][Reapparition Square]".

For example: H^Ra1 (the Healer revived a Rook and placed it on a1)

How about that ?

These values are completely messed up:

First of all the King should be worth Infinity, it can be put in check and checkmate and if the king gets checkmated then the game ends,

2: theres no way the Archer and the Tiger are worth 8 points, the Archer is just a bishop that is not colourbound and the Tiger is just a rook that can move 1 square diagonally, so:

Wazir = 1 point

Ferz = 1 point

Bishop = 3 points

Rook = 5 points

Tiger = Rook (5 points) + Ferz (1 point) = 6 points

Archer = Bishop (3 points) + Wazir (1 point) = 4 points

3: the Warrior (aka Amazon) should be worth 12 points:

Warrior = Queen (9 points) + Knight (3 points) = 12 points

4: The Archbishop and the Chancellor are most likely to be worth 7 points

5: theres no way the Centaur is worth 6 points, it has nothing special and it becomes kinda weak on big boards it is most likely to be worth 5 points and on endgames the Rook does much better than the Centaur

The King is worth 20 points because that's the score a player earns when they capture the opponent's King, like in FourPlayerChess. Although the King holds immense importance in the game, its valuation at 20 points reflects the value of its capture, not its power in the game.
And here is some updates for pieces.
1) Marshal (Rook + Knight)
2) Sentinel (Bishop + Knight)
3) Warlord (King + Rook)
4) Paladin (King + Bishop)
5) General (Rook + King + Knight)
6) Chancellor (Bishop + King + Knight)
7) Valkyrie/Amazon (Queen + Knight)
8) Champion (King + Knight)

It already exists it’s the Amazon, and it’s actually worth 12 points

Ive thought so much about this… It would not only change the the whole game, it will also change the board. How? Well it will change… the shape. IT WILL BECOME: 9x9x9! THERE WILL BE A NEW PIECE THAT MOVES NOT FORWARD, DIAGONAL OR THE STUPID KNIGHT, IT WILL MOVE UPWARDS AND DOWNWARDS, THERE IS ONLY ONE OF THOSE PIECES IT WILL SIT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE KING FROM WHERE THE QUEEN IS AND IT WILL BE NAMED: *quick chatgpt ask* Balista. FOR SINCE THIS GAME IS RELATED TO MEDIEVAL TIMES AND THERE ARE SUCH THINGS AS CATAPULTS THIS IS THE NAME! Your welcome…

The new piece can move round 🌀 in a particular coloured square. As bishop, it can't move to an another coloured square.

Cyclone also can attack and capture any piece
