nice! looks better than all the previous ones (lol). There is more room to develop the pieces. The only problem I can see is the wildebeests. They are almost useless because it takes so long for them to get to the middle. But other than that, looks good!

This is your third revision; you obviously have more than enough test games. However, you still need to follow the submission requirements. Please add 2 more of your test games.

I thought revised positions only needed 5?

Not enough pieces, not enough fun

a game does not need lots of pieces to be fun

N >= 5 final version games, N <= 5 past version games. You still need to post 10 games.

When will you test? 

Avatar of BoxJellyfishChess

You've shown great perseverance with this position, and it has been improved a lot since the first version. However, one issue persists with this iteration: there is a very high teaming potential; anyone who attempts something aggressive can get easily 2v1ed in many different ways. The camel fork between opposites combined with Ox2 gives an unreasonable advantage and often causes a 3v1, and it is quite easy to miss. While teaming potential is expected in FFA games, you need to tone it down here. In fact, you could probably go ahead and make this an ry vs bg Teams game. Unfortunately, the crazy high teaming potential prevents us from accepting it as it is.

If i changed it to teams, would it be accepted?

I don't know; I haven't actually played it as teams. You may resubmit 5 Teams test games, which might be accepted, but you'll have to try it yourself and see if it works.
