Also, the new territory created at e5 would give the white player even more points.
e5 isn't a territory at all, let alone for white.
If the black King from e5 pushes the white Bishop from d5 to c5, it will take the Bishop's place at d5 and the new territory will move to e5. I have updated the diagram for this example but for some reason I can't upload it right now.
I hope the updated rules have covered everything.
Covered but not everything. I found typo in the start (arround empty squares), different themes in diagrams (please choose: cburnett or alfaerie) and, finally, you forgot one King:
The c5 territory
- White = (10x2) + (3x2) + 10 = 36 points
- Black = (3x2) +(3x2) + 3 + 10 =
1525 points- White wins = 36 +
1525 =5161 points. Also there are 3 black bishops, isn’t their summary value tripled? In this case, it’d be 45 and therefore White doesn’t win this space but wins the game. (And so on)
Idk if it’s all. I hope one day it’ll be approved.
I didn't notice the three black Bishops on c5. That was a good point, but still, the black player can't win the game.
I have to recalculate the points. Thanks.
I hope everyone is happy with this game now. The only problem is that I am unable, for some reason, to upload the diagram for the last example. I have tried many times.
I'm having similar issue uploading a couple of new icons into my Icon Clearinghouse. Whatever the trouble, hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

- "lower" pieces: can a king push a queen, or does this just mean royals vs non?
- Can a queen push a piece two squares, if there is a joined territory?
Thanks for your suggestions.
1) I have changed "lower pieces" to non Royals.
2) I also allowed the Queen to move more than two squares per turn across/along a joined territory, if that is possible.
Please let me know if there is anything else.

That was a good review of the game. Thank you for your time. I have added the repetition rule. As for the territorial merging, it's hard enough to control a single territory and prevent it from invasion. On a bigger territory that will be even harder. You are right about the black King from e5 having the possibility to push the white bishop to c5 but that wouldn't win additional points for black. The "three of a kind" rule should also imply the same colour too. Also, the new territory created at e5 would give the white player even more points.
