Only pieces that start on a location they also have in the initial position as the fmax.ini file defines it will be considered virgin. It is possible to shift the Pawn rank of the initial position (Grant Acedrex uses that), or enlarge the promotion zone (Makruk & Cambodian Chess use that). But not independently. So if you want a zone wider than one rank that does not extend all the way (and including) the Pawn rank, the current version of Fairy-Max cannot do it.

Perhaps I should devise some upgrade that makes it possible to add extra piece ranks, which then automatically push the Pawns forward. I will think about that.
