'Crowned Nobiliby' is abortive. 
I have an another idea :'Torrid Firework' 

The Knights: The Armed Pao

Armed Pao slides orthogonally, and captures by jumping or as Wazir.

I strenghen Pao coming from Xiangqi. Original Pao is relatively weak in
Chess because King does not live in Ninecastle. Now this more aggressive
weapon can capture enemy berfore its eyes by moving one square
orthogonally. I also did the same thing in Vao.


The Bishops: the Armed Vao

Armed Pao slides diagonally, and captures by jumping or as Ferz.


The Queen: the Armed Leo 

Combined Armed Pao with Armed Vao, Armed Leo slides diagonally or
orthogonally, and captures by jumping or as Commoner.


The Rook: the Half Duck

Borrowed from 'Remarkable Rookies', Half Duck is an excellent partner to
Armed Pao and Armed Leo. 


I have tested 'Torrid Firework' in Zillions. I thought that  'Torrid
Firework' is as equal as the other teams. Maybe it is eligible, I hope.
