Some new pieces:
Dummy - Can be placed at any turn in the game for free. Cannot move or capture or do anything (unless it’s activated by a piece like the Lamia.)
Beacon - Can be placed at any turn in the game after a sacrifice. All friendly pieces a queens move away from it cannot be captured. Cannot move or capture. May be placed anywhere.
Rider - Every friendly piece within a 5x5 radius of it can move as it’s rider equivalent.
Shifter - Can capture any unprotected piece and take its tile.
Armor - Promoted dummy (capturing a piece and moving to the last 3 enemy ranks) can move to any tile, but cannot capture unless activated.
Tamer - Moves and captures as queen. May convert every piece within a 5x5 radius into a friendly piece, but demotes to a Lion (chu shogi.)
Draftsman - A draughtsman from draughts/checkers, obtained from sacrificing a Queen.
Drafter - A king draughtsman, obtained from getting a Draftsman into the last 3 enemy ranks.
Final Chariot - Obtained by sacrificing 3 Rooks. A final chariot makes a rook and a bishop move in one turn, allowing for 2 captures (one for rook move, another for bishop move.)
Lighthouse - 3 lighthouses can be placed in one game. Every friendly piece within a queens move can leap.
Abbess - Moves as a bishop. All friendly pieces a queens move away immobilize all adjacent pieces.
Grenadier - Moves as an uncapturing queen. One turn may be used to capture all enemy pieces within a 5x5 radius.
Annihilator - Moves as a queen. Every piece within a queens move may be captured without moving.
Beserker - All pieces within a 6x6 radius get captured, regardless of color.
A sacrifice is giving up a certain number of pieces of certain types for another piece (it may be placed at any turn.)
