Weird, but still idea for variants

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.

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

The color, that was set up in position editor, I guess

?(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?

they should add chess puzzle games like chessformer on another tab

flashbang idea : each player will have 2 flashbangs and the can use it so the other players screen chessboard turns black and blind of 5 secs.
