Hello

I tried to program this game to Zillions but I can't figure how to set the win condition

I will be honest, No I haven't. I just don't know how to program it to something like Zillions or Courier but I understand the concern and will update the rules once I have actually playtested it

also by "only royals left", I meant by No Non-Royals Remain(meaning only Queen, Cardinal, Marshall, and/or Duke remaining) and it's after the move is made though I will probably change to "Only Royals and few(haven't yet decided on an actual number) Other Pieces Remain"

Tbh, I've been thinking to do something about the royals something like

a. modify the royals

b. add royals then make the player choose 4 royals out of all of them

c. reduce the number of royals in the game

and/or d. weaken the royals in their first move

I've been thinking of doing b but I'm not sure yet

Hmmmmm... I think you're right about the last line. It is better for the riders to be in the last rank so the "minor" pieces can develop first but for some reason I haven't thought about it when making the setup, Woopsies!
