Idea- 3 Flags exist in the game, there location is known at all times. Each flag gives some kind of benefit to the holder, Whether it's you get 75% points for captures, your king generates 50% more energy, or your own promotion ranks are lowered by 1!
They can be captured and stolen.
Choose a random piece that exists on the board, now spawn a flag 100 squares in a random direction from that piece!
Ooh good idea- they flags are secret unless you get close enough to one!
Oh if I actually knew the flag locations I'd have a huge advantage. Only my program can know the flag locations, and it'd tell me the locations only after a piece moves within it's vicinity.
But I won't be adding these flags unless it get many positive responses in the Rules Discussion forum.

NOT PROMOTION RANKS
Let's go with 100% piece capture
tomato but 1 flag already gives a 50% piece capture bonus.
but the +5 bonus is only a 1-time reward instead of constant. You could just take turns giving the flag to an ally and switch off to get like +5 health every other turn.
I early stated it'd be my program that only knows the location of the flags and would alert me if 1 was discovered!
but then there's no point in keeping that flag at all.
Maybe have flag three let you play an obstacle directly next to a piece once per turn.
A piece of your's
Possible event: Flags
Each player PMs a current piece as a flag, and if the flag is captured both
A. Double the points of the pieces usual value
B. The player loses
