Thank you for posting a New Custom Position!
Well, we see that you changed some things, but the concept is still between "Dead Knight Spiral" and "ℬattle of the ℂastles". Oh wait, is it a second version of "ℬattle of the ℂastles"? In this case, the second version should be better than the first one but be different enough not to be a replacement of the first one, right?
According to the result of preliminary testing, your "ℬattle of the ℂastles" took 8th place between best FFA Variants, and 3rd place in category "Balanced". But in the same time, according to the stats, "ℬattle of the ℂastles" is very far from popular variants.
So how about to make it more popular instead of creating alternative version?
In either way, this position isn't better original "ℬattle of the ℂastles" anyhow, and still too similar to already existing positions.

ℬattle of the ℂastles II
Differences to last time: changed the middle knight into a knight-rider, added 4 walls, fewer promotion options, added 2 queens for everyone, and I added 4 dead knights in the middle.
Timing: 1 minute + 3 seconds increment (1|3).
Description: By Johnny_Fang.
If it gets accepted, please make the walls transparent.
Game type: FFA.
Game #1
Game #2
Game #3
Game #4
Game #5
Try to control the center and try to KotH when the board is clear. If your opponents try to KotH at the beginning of the game
(when he moves his "royal general"), promote to a general and defend the center.
Promoting in a bunch of generals is a good technique, but you sometimes need other pieces (for example promoting into a grasshopper to take your opponent's pieces easier).
Queens are used when all your pawns and promoted pawns are taken.
Don't take out your queens very early in the game, because they are 9 points, and so that your opponents get more points.
Your hawk is the best piece, so don't sacrifice it except if you need to.
Hope it gets accepted!
