Woah woah woah, maybe we should slow down a little and stick with what we have right now.

if rooks are 6, bishops are at least 5

and guards, 4? this is an infinite plane!

Guards are decent being able to defend up to 8 adjacent pieces, about same as bishops. (I upped bishop from 3 to 4 cause they can move infinite, keep in mind they can still only cover half of all the squares ) Rooks though I may consider upping from 6 to 7.

this is INFINITE. bishops can attack infinite squares, while guards only eight

besides half of infinity is still infinity

So I was doing some research, and apparently Zied Hadhad (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) believes the fortress to be 7.5 pawns and the spider to be worth 8. As this is an infinite board, I see no reason why these values would go unnoticed or down. So, maybe the pieces should be changed to reflect this?

Ok, upped bishop & rook by one. Lowered witch.

 

Who is what color is now listed in the introduction.

 

... Upped fortress from 6 to 7. Upped spider from 6 to 8.

Half on infinite is 4

what?

I've now included links to rules and movesets of all musketeer pieces and bulldog pieces in the forum introduction, right above the list of pieces & their costs.

Avatar of Bad_Dobby_Fischer

can you also write down the explanations of the pieces?

EDIT

just saw your post

Even though bishops can cover an infinite number of squares, they also can't cover an infinite number of squares, ultimately they can only cover half the board, only 1 infinite of the 2 there are.

Add the hunter at 4

And add the zombie at 6

I don't want to overload myself right now. But they will be coming.

Avatar of HorusTheThird

Hunter's better on 3, and zombie's good on 6. Infinite plane, but zombie is quite powerful.

Avatar of Naviary

Added 2 more colors- Olive Green and Brown.

I probably will not be able to play since i can hardly distinguish between many of those colors.

Poor Holo...

🙁

Holo I can highlight all your pieces or tag them or something similar so you know what pieces belong to you.

Maybe...

I have had many instances in life when I was asked to point to green and I pointed to yellow, and vice versa. Less extreme with blue and purple. Luckily, I am old enough that kindergarten teachers don't ask me to distinguish colors...

Highlighting pieces with different colors can square the number of colors.

That's kinda weird.... When did it start, Holo?

Yeah...

@HorribleTomato , the guy who made the Hunter, believes it to be at a value of 3.5, but also believed that it goes down the fewer pieces there are, so 3 is probably good.

Also, Naviary, THANK YOU for listening to all of my suggestions. Hopefully it makes the game better.

I know it can’t be easy doing this. Keep up the good work!

The musketeer pieces look weird.
