Very nice. On such a wide board the Bishop will be significantly more valuable than a Knight or any of the other 8-target short-range leapers. And the Dragon Horse will benefit similarly. This gives it an almost ideal value spectrum: 16 Pawns, 8 Knight-class pieces, 4 Bishop/Rook-class pieces, 1 Queen and two pieces between Rook and Queen.
