I meant the diagram image, so that it's easy to relate the Pieces section to the setup diagram (the listing of pieces helps too, but I always find it harder to deal with as it doesn't have as obvious a visual correspondence)

   Given that I use Musketeer Board Painter, that may be more easily said than done. Still, I can give it a shot.

Further improvements might include matching the order of promotees with their predecessors...

So basically, where the Hospitaller and Templar are the first promoting pieces on the starter list, the Healer and Crusader would be first on the First Promotions list?

That kinda is what the table is for, actually.

...and (if feasible) analysing the pieces' moves to find a more intuitive order...

Meaning, list the pieces (at least, in the first section) in order from least to most powerful? I think I can manage that.

On another note, do you happen to know of a mFmAcWcD piece? And that mNcAcD sounds like a fun possibility, if it has a mAmDcN to go with it.
