Hi, may I suggest, that the bishop should be categorized 4 points insteaf of 5. This woud be more like it's real applicable value!

Interesting suggestion and something that has been considered before (changing the point value for Bishops) however the main issue is that although perhaps Bishops are worth more than they should in Chaturaji the point value is more accurate for larger 4pc ffa games where they have much more scope. 

Changing the point value is something to be considered but we would need more input from the community and to have a developer change it for us. 

How would adjusting the Kings value affect the game do you think?

Good suggestion.

I think it would be nice if experienced players would bring in a few of their games with comments about exchanging the bishop for something less than 5 points.
I'd also like to suggest some exemplary games where the bishop "will be" worth 4 points. For example, the player who took the bishop should write "-1" in the chat.

I'm not sure for the ideal value of the king. I haven't thought about it sufficingly. But I'm pretty sure about the bishop!

I think in every endgame the rook far outplays the bishop and then it's totally wrong that someone can get equal point value by trading a rook for bishop. It leads to weird decisions all over the game that bishops and rooks can be traded for equal exchange values
