Adjust opening by 4 square in middle:
It does not seem OK: the short middle pass if for balancing the players who have checkmated someone ( takeover ), and have weak kingside, like here: https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=3188246.
Promotion to Nightrider - I like it!
Promotion to Camel: Yes!
Promotion to Wildebeest: Clearly no. Fast cooperated checkmates are possible.
[4PC Variant]: Custom Starting Position
It is more interesting with camels and nightriders:

How long does it take for a variant to be approved? Because if mine isn't, I am going to make another one to try to get that one approved.

I had variants on the 9th page or something like that. its been 2 MONTHS and they STILL have not been added!

Now we need test it, but I think it is balanced for ffa now. For ffa and solo (not teams).
