This same problem is also in this preset, using this code:

set mypieces ();
set mypieces.k $pieces.k;
set mypieces.K $pieces.K;
set mypieces.q $pieces.q;
set mypieces.Q $pieces.Q;
set mypieces.r $pieces.r;
set mypieces.R $pieces.R;
set mypieces.b $pieces.b;
set mypieces.B $pieces.B;
set mypieces.n $pieces.n;
set mypieces.N $pieces.N;
set mypieces.p $pieces.p;
set mypieces.P $pieces.P;
if == pieceset alfaerie-allsvg:
  set mypieces.A pieceimg .W;
  set mypieces.a pieceimg .w;
  set mypieces.G pieceimg .P;
  set mypieces.g pieceimg .p;
  set mypieces.T $pieces.T;
  set mypieces.t $pieces.t;
  set mypieces.S $pieces.GG;
  set mypieces.s $pieces.gg;
  set mypieces.U $pieces.U;
  set mypieces.u $pieces.u;
  set mypieces.D pieceimg .D;
  set mypieces.d pieceimg .d;
endif;
setsystem pieces #mypieces;

I tried changing pieceset to $pieceset, but that just caused the pieces defined in the if condition to be replaced with black circles.

What would be good settings for evaluating the balance of a different armies variant? I've tried some tests with 0:30+10 and Medium variation but got conflicting results.

The cannon's move in this preset is rotated 90° from what is described in the rules.

That looks like a good one

Would the fairychess include file work with hexagonal boards, or might there be difficulties with that?

This game might be good, but the presentation is horrible. It really needs paragraphs.

Generated-code games are now giving an error saying "You may not set $extralegal with setsystem."

Now the default presets for Glinksi's and McCooey's Hexagonal Chesses are broken. Neither one shows any legal moves.

Separately, this preset just shows the board but the rest of the game interface is missing.

There was some delay in fixing betza.txt, because it is not in the includes directory, and I didn't see the bug report on it until my computer was off

That's my fault I suppose. I should have mentioned it together with the other problems.

There's a bug with this preset now where when you select a piece to drop no squares are highlighted as legal moves

I've also changed the Heavenly Tetrarch's move so that it freezes (immobilizes) all adjacent enemy pieces except other Heavenly Tetrarches.

Is that instead of burning? That's an interesting addition

The preset reached through the Official Glinski Coordinates button here is not displaying properly

I'm trying to follow these instructions to enforce the rules for this game, but I've run into trouble with my pawn subroutine. I want the pawns to capture by jumping over one piece to an empty space, but the hopping move isn't accepted as legal.

sub P from to;
    verify > rank #to rank #from;
    if capture:
        die "A Pawn may only capture by jumping over a piece immediately in front of itself.";
    elseif == distance #from #to 2: 
        verify checkahop #from #to -1 1 or checkahop #from #to 0 1 and islower screen;
        capture screen;
    else:
         verify checkaride #from #to -1 1 or checkaride #from #to 0 1;
    endif;
    if onboard where #to 0 #pzs or onboard where #to -1 #pzs:
        if != space #to moved:
            die "You may not promote a Pawn until it reaches the promotion zone.";
        endif;
    elseif == P space #to:
        askpromote #wprom;
    elseif not match space #to var wprom:
        set np space #to;
        die "You may not promote your Pawn to a" #np;
    endif;
    set nopvc 0;
    return true;
endsub;

Would it work to combine direction with where like this?

where c3 logic direction a1 c3
