I see little need to force promotion into this game. It is sufficiently complex.

If an extra dimension really needs to be added, then conversion capture is a much more natural fit, with only the king currently using replacement capture.

I'm not really sympathetic in general to attempts to turn Ultima and its derivatives back into FIDE.

More interesting to purify the concept, which would be a game in which all pieces have equal movement, differentiated only by behaviour.
