Thank you. We look forward to reviewing this position.
Please also note: FEN4 is no longer required.
I hope (third or fourth time) this is good enough to be accepted.
i feel like the most common response is requirements not met lol
Maybe. Who knows?

Well, the teaming issue has been toned down, but now there is barely any strategy. Previously you couldn't attack without getting 2v1ed or 3v1ed; now you can't attack at all because of the excessive defense (in particular, the back-rank camel). Games were decided by who took the most hanging pieces, which isn't good for any game; the players should be able to influence the game more than just not hanging pieces. However, it's still a pretty fun game, and if you took one of the past versions and played it as teams, it might work. This concept just doesn't work as FFA.
i say you

Changes:
No queen traps, less powerful peices, but still enough to attack, removed ox2 beacuse it didn't really do anything.

Edit position for more balance, dead pieces weaken queen and hawk a bit. They also stop the Seargent from promoting too early.
