Again with the rule that allows capture the own King: I am NOT goig to correct the ZRF, I have observed after some playtesting that Zillions captures its own King in some situations of FORCED MATE in two or three moves!, the best move that Zillions is capable to do is resign, and it do that capturing its own king!. I have to do the observation that it was not easy to me see that, Zillions seems to be a strong player of this game (or I am not!), and it was not easy to me to put Zillions in a forced mate situation, I have had to abuse of 'taking back'...
John, I don`t like that I can take my own King, it is an error on the ZRF, but if you don´t take your own King, no problem. In the next version I´ll revise the code, and correct this fact. (I think I have to revise other games where there are cannibal pieces, too)
The ZRF answers all: 1 - Soldiers can indeed capture other Soldiers. 2 - Reducers do not restrict the stationary move. 3 - You can capture your own King, but you lose.
I have a few questions: 1 - 'When a Soldier captures a friend piece, it can promote by COMPENSATION to a SPECIAL PIECE.' Does that include another soldier? That is, can my soldiers capture each other to create three more special pieces? 2 - When a Special Piece is adjacent to a Reducer, can it still make a stationary move to transmute into a different Special Piece? 3 - A 'rules lawyer' would notice that there is no prohibition against capturing your own King with a Soldier. You'd get another Special Piece, and you can't lose by checkmate! Is this what you meant?
