Nice, but on the white side there should be another ancient army (Persia, Egypt, Athens)
Spartan Chess
Sort:
oh yeah it was persia mb
i focused on the gameplay aspect a little bit too much. This represented the different compositions of the persians and spartans.
Black's front things are berolinas, but they can leap on first double move.
The 2 swords are leutenants, which is a ferz + alfil but cna move 1 space sideways. they can't capture in this move.
The piece to the right of the left leutenant is the 'general'. This is a rook + ferz.
The piece at the bishop's location is the captain, which is a wazir + dabbaba.
There are 2 kings. The spartans only lose if one king is taken AND the other is mated, OR if they are double checked.
The right knight thing is just an archbishop.
I am not requesting chess.com to adapt this, but I find this rather interesting. Reminds me of Unequal Strategies (my UR custom variant submission) https://variants.world/posts/651 but much more diverse. Interesting variant, the creator made this balanced without the help of fairy stockfish. salutes to him.
