In my experience, it's best to not forced out an idea, but that's probably just a me issue.

Yeah, okay.

Ok, maybe you posted the wrong image, because that's not 4PC, but assuming that is the position, no. It is in GS's "How Not To Make A Variant" Forum (Definitely check that out, guys, got lots of tips on how to not make terrible positions)

imchesspro0930

ok this is the image

2bHNST

Yeah that looks good. probably not beginner-friendly, but they should catch on to what's going on in a few games.

imchesspro0930

Dragons wrought havoc in the last version (because of jump spells), so I'd rather that not happen again.

Place it on a pieces, and all pieces (other than grasshoppers) can move through it. Works on visible bricks too.

imchesspro0930

how long does it last

acgusta2

It’s KOTH, 3 check, FFA, and Takeover. It’s also on an odd sized board, being size 13 by 13 minus the squares covered by the brick walls.

imchesspro0930

3 check is too few
