Nice, but on the white side there should be another ancient army (Persia, Egypt, Athens)
Spartan Chess
Sort:
oh yeah it was persia mb
i focused on the gameplay aspect a little bit too much. This represented the different compositions of the persians and spartans.
this is the berolina pawn
Black's front things are berolinas, but they can leap on first double move.
The 2 swords are leutenants, which is a ferz + alfil but cna move 1 space sideways. they can't capture in this move.
The piece to the right of the left leutenant is the 'general'. This is a rook + ferz.
The piece at the bishop's location is the captain, which is a wazir + dabbaba.
There are 2 kings. The spartans only lose if one king is taken AND the other is mated, OR if they are double checked.
The right knight thing is just an archbishop.
I am not requesting chess.com to adapt this, but I find this rather interesting. Reminds me of Unequal Strategies (my UR custom variant submission) https://variants.world/posts/651 but much more diverse. Interesting variant, the creator made this balanced without the help of fairy stockfish. salutes to him.
