I think this is a great idea, just needs to be fixed a bit and made more suitable e.g. no loopholes, etc.
Honestly combining different variants is quite exciting and fun to do, especially as a change to the more popular variants that we have right now.
Lighthouse is absolutely brilliant idea!!!!!!!!(Except for the color limit)
Who controls piecs created by the generator?
I personally don't hate the ideas and think that they're innovative, it's just that chess.com may want to draw a line between videogame-style things vs gamerules, although variants like Spell Chess have proved that they're venturing into new territory
Who controls piecs created by the generator?
The color, that was set up in position editor, I guess
?(black,white or separate zombie?)
?(black,white or separate zombie?)
Any
What would happen if there were buildings in chess?
Like bank.(to store points in point chess,only can be captured by rook)

Yep, this^^
Honestly I think the ideas are pretty cool!
If only every forum was like this here : )

I think it could be either player's lighthouse, that only lights up the fog for one player, or everyone's lighthouse, that shows the area to everyone.
How about a generator that requires a sacrifice? Once a piece has been sacrificed, it starts producing that piece every three turns or until another player sacrifices a piece to the generator?
Hello, everyone!
Right now I'll present a very weird idea. I understand, that you might hate me for it, but still, please, I am just trying to create something, that will make the game more interesting - new objects, that could be useful for custom player positions, and even some variants!
These new objects can be anything, that has some interesting (for most of players) mechanics. I have a few examples of what it can be (but even though, it can be anything):
[WARNING! Weird ideas ahead]
A "generator" object, that would spawn pieces in squares around it, like spawner in Minecraft. Pieces can "capture" (break) it, and the creation process will stop.
LIGHTHOUSE (or something). It can belong to a color, for example be white or black. In fog of war, it shows some area in unknown (for me) way.
Some exploding object like a bomb or something, that will cause an atomic chess explosion, when a piece captures it.
