looks like a draw to me. But nice to see a new member
Do you mean that one side can force a draw, or that if both players play the best moves the game will end in a draw? If the former, I'll try to fix it. If the latter, then at least the game is balanced, also a plus if the draw doesn't occur early on.
i'm talking about drawish endgames. since the position is already an endgame, players can set up a pawn wall and then shuffle.
Also, The sergant is IMO too strong. only linearly moveing pieces can stop it. An archbishop can't

Because it must move forwards when in check, the sergeant will usually be blocked from moving further by enemy soldiers. Is this frequently not the case?

i mean when soliders have been traded
New Grasshopper Arena II position. I made some changes after testing with futer.
+10, 5th=G (3rd on 10x10), 6+, Torpedo (Couldn't get pawnbaserank to work)
More changes: 4+ instead of 6+, replaced e1 (symmetric editing on) with brick (Red had a first-move advantage), added a grasshopper on i1 (symmetric editing on), and No Zombies.
I'm having trouble visualizing that. Please post a screenshot.
Good thing you asked, because I made even more changes.
4+, +10, No Zombies, Torpedo

By No Zombies I mean the No Zombies gamerule. Random movements of zombie kind of ruins the game.

Chye3mc said he think this is boring, but I just assumed it was because he hates grasshoppers, just like 75% of variant players
I liked it better without the blocks on the sides. I would submit it now.
I've only played one test game.
I removed the blocks to prevent checks on move 1, but I guess moving the kings defeats the blocks' purpose, so I will remove them.

I'm not sure if this is better as teams self-partner or FFA
the bug is solved by reloading.
then both are playable
After testing, I only saw one thing I didn't like, excluding the bug. There is an opening that sets up a discovered check on the first move, which isn't any fun for the player you are doing it to.
Line? I'll try to fix it. (Gonna change dead pieces to soldiers)
I just made a new custom variant instead of working on my other one.
Rules are Crazyhouse, Bare pieces, and Fog of War.
I'll change the pawns to sergeants so that they can get through the center, because the pawns are the only pieces incapable of easily passing through the central area.
Pawns promote to every other piece on the board (excluding bricks and dead dabbaba-riders) + every piece in the crazyhouse piece bank on the 14th Rank.

Shuffling might be an issue due to fog.
I revised Nuclear Box.

Yes, I am chickensrcoool, I lost my other account to my super annoying brother. I thought it got hacked but i just left my computer open one day and he got my password...
Grasshopper Arena II new position:
4+, Torpedo, +10, 5th=G, No Zombies
-
I've replaced the i3 hopper with a pawn, and removed dead pieces so hoppers have more mobility.
I think no dead pieces is better b/c then you aren't depended on other players capturing the pieces, so hoppers can swap colours more easily.
Also threw on Bare Piece because the king's abundance of moves makes endgames hard.
