I think this game, while not quite ready to post as live, is ready for some third-party review. Some specific concerns on my end:

  1. Is the text inconsistent anywhere (saying one thing in one spot, and another thing elsewhere)?
  2. Is there an overreliance on Knight's leaps? (I probably could change some to Camels or Zebras.)
  3. Is there a better name for the Healer?
  4. Are the Healer, Crusader, Bongo, and Serval overpowered?
  5. Is the Bodyguard's Hia power even possible in the Interactive Diagrams?
  6. Also for the IDs, what should I do about Castling?
  7. Will move diagrams be needed, or are the text descriptions enough?
  8. Does the Satrap seem badly out of place here? Should it be replaced with something else? Any suggestions about what its replacement could be?
