I must admit I don't really see the appeal of super-complex pieces like
the Sissa.  Even in orthodox chess I have difficulty seeing more than a few
moves ahead and all those pieces are easy to visualize.  Granted, I'm not
a particularly good chess player, (just look at my win/loss ratio on game
courier,) but I think these multi-path pieces have got to make the game
more difficult for everyone when you must expend so much brain power just
to figure out which squares you can reach, and that determination requires
looking at lots of other squares in totally different directions.
