Why don't you check the balance of the different armies by having a
computer play a few thousand games against itself? I don't know if your
variant contains any unorthodox pieces with side effects, but if they are
merely pieces that move differently, you could easily do this with
Fairy-Max.

With Human testers it will be almost impossible to get a number of games high enough to draw a statistically meaningful conclusion. Especially as Humans will need quite some practice before they can play the game at a reasonable level.
