Jeremy, I did a search on the word homage on this page and all the comments on it, and the only instances were in your comment. So it seems that the author has not stated that this game is a homage to other variants. Also, in my comments on the 'Grand Chess 2' page, I did not call this game a knock off of Eurasian Chess. It is different enough that it is not a knock off. But it does seem to be a bad game. In particular, the rule against compound pieces crossing the river would seem to strengthen defense and weaken offense, making this game very drawish.
