[4PC Variant]: Custom Starting Position

you can

I like the idea cuber, but promotion should be changed. 1st of all no one ever will promote king or knight if they can promote bishops. 2nd of all if you have long range piece promotion, the game will deteriorate into a check/capture shootout which leads to constant cooperation ("teaming"). also maybe provide some teams example games, as I believe this has the potential to be played both modes. @6_K can you take a look at whether this game can be played anti.

that's the whole point -_- don't respond to other ppl if you are not a CGA

I declined this. This game was at the list for a long time then some CGA delete it (untill I was a CGA) because too many aborts and noone play this. So, this game is not original. But if you find an admin who delete this game you can ask him to turn back it. Of course, the "by ..." will be not your nickname.

notice how none of the games ended in KOTH. You might want to make the entrance to KOTH 1 or two squares wider. You don't have to, the variant looks balanced; just a suggestion.

Ok... I think I will remove the deadwall on f6, f9, i6, i9, but will I have to add more test games, or can you guys just list it with the modifications?

@TheChessDude991 every update a game is a new game, think about it. You need to play it before we will show new variant of your game.

Ok

@cuber4130 declined (b+g kings are blocking queens)

what no, they cannot promote to queens, only knights and kings

Since you changed War for Throne II, you should also change War for Throne I by getting rid of corner pawns for that. 

Shhh! It's the only tactically exciting one left. Don't give them the idea of changing that one too!

I think we will not change this one; some people would prefer there to be corner pawns. ig you have a choice which one to play now. Most ppl voted for no corner pawns but majority is not always right
