New variant: I need your help!

I think it'd be better if you couldn't get new eggs until you hatch the one you've already got. How it is now, someone could just jump back and forth across the line.

It's also weird how all 4 mammoths can only reach the same squares, which are unreachable by the enemy mammoths. I think it'd be better if 2 mammoths could reach other squares. My best suggestion in this regard would be (from the initial position) to bring the top 2 mammoths back 1 rank.

Dax,  I didn't see your second reply (with suggestions) until now.

I do understand the issue you bring up with the positioning of the Mammoth-Mastodons; they do cover the same points on the board. My solution to it: I invented the Terracotta Soldier (which is the Mammoth's orthogonal companion). I have it positioned as the Mammoth's inbetweens, so that it (Terracotta) could get the files that the Mammoth couldn't.

As far as enemy Mammoths and Terracotta Soldiers not being able to capture each other, that was a reality that I simply accepted from the beginning; when I first modified the original Elephant piece to be able to cross the River. For now, I think I will keep it like that. But, all the same, I'm not discarding your idea either. Maybe we can try that for our next text run.

Also, you can have as many as 4 Eggs on the board; I'm okay with that. But, Remember, you have to cross the line into enemy territory to gain an Egg. Exiting the territory does not count. So that rule, I'm also keeping.

Dax, on another note, if you ever catch any other inconsistencies or confusing/ambiguous passages in my instructions game guide, please don't hesitate to let me know right away!

I just caught another one right now. It has been fix and updated.

I'm not too bothered about the egg, since they'll be easy enough to get later on.

Haha very good. ^-^

Ah no!! xD

I have a lot of experience defending awkward positions. Defence is fun for me.

That's totally fine. You're only showing me that my own pieces work really well: by using them against their own creator. xD

haha

In another note, I'm not that lunkheaded of a player usually. 4 nights of 3-5 hours of sleep does have a toll on me. =3

Thank God this is only a testrun, not a tournament. Otherwise, I'd be screwed like a nail. 0.o
