I am reminded now that I was going to mention that I once considered a camel to be be the closest thing to what could possibly ever be a colourbound knight, rather than e.g. a ferfil. Originally I considered a camel close enough to a N that I simply valued it as N/2 (usual colourbound penalty I apply being x0.5), but I saw that a camel was rated as 2 on 8x8 by a number of people and I also eventually accepted that the extra reach of a camel makes it worth a little more than N/2. You can certainly feel the effects of the reach, even on 10x10.
