Hello, wow the game is a success, 2 comments within 3 days :) I just wanted
to say a couple of things, i play tested this game many many times, before
putting it out, and not once did i think the knight and lance were
'unimportant' or 'irrelavent'... actually these pieces are strong!
Because there are more pieces on the board than normal Shogi, when the
knight and lance are 'placed' on the board, often they can be
devastating, because stronger pieces find it hard to get out of the way
lol. So i strongly disagree that they are 'unimportant' or
'irrelavent'. They could actually be more stronger than in the normal
Shogi game!
<p>And yes, the gold generals do slow the game down,they offer massive
defence for the central pawns, that is what i wanted, something much more
different than Shogi. It is a longer more positional type of game. Still,
there are strong powerful attacks nevertheless. But the idea of having
extra knights is a good idea, maybe cutting down the generals, i will look
into it for maybe a future update with more variants. I was just worried
the knights on 2nd rank could hamper defence to the pawns in front of
them. I do agree that this game maybe should not be rated good though, it
is much better than good lol :))
