I have always liked the idea of unbalanced sides in chess variants. Similar games like the Fox and Hounds and Peasants Revolt are fun games and great teaching tools for beginners. 

But me being me, if I have invented this variation I would have called it Thermopylae Chess with each pawn representing 75 Spartans.

And yes, pay no attention to the AI, it plays a very poor game for all variants and should, in my opinion, play no part in a variants evaluation.
