is there any way to make a variant with brick/duck promotions

Yes, you just set the promotion to X/x/Θ

But why would anyone want to do that?

1) Strategically block off squares, assuming the promotion rank isn't the end of the board.

2) "Disable" a bot via stalemate by only giving it a single pawn -- often combined with teams to be a clock that counts down to when the player wins/loses.

3) more that i cant think of rn

Thinking of a position like this. Fog of War, and KOTH with knight variant pieces. Also 12+ equals checkmate. I might make the checks less.


Thoughts?

Looks like Knightchess right now, though maybe not bc fog.

I think you should probably remove the hill since Fog includes Regicide, and Regicide+Hill isn't a good idea if the hill is close. So maybe take out the hill.

how can i make variants like these, or are there examples

1) There's a declined variant that uses this, I forgot what it was called (from back in the 3-digit era).

2) Spy Party, and a lot of WoFs.

Pac Chess but in favour of Red.

ok guys hear me out:

Using the Infinite Seirawan thing, make it Crazywan, so that when you capture a piece, you can immediately "deploy" it by placing it down where another piece was, making crazyhouse less sharp.
