Sounds weak, reminds me of Carbuncles.

There is an option to strengthen the pawns - add a horizontal capture, we'll look at the tests.

Wouldn't Druids and Warlocks make the game more drawish?

We'll see in the tests.
Those different royal pieces will probably make the regular King more OP in the endgame.

Yes, it looks like the Paladin (standard king) can checkmate them single-handedly. On the other hand, you still have to live to checkmate; it’s very interesting how the long-range attacks of the druid and shaman will look in the endgame (the shaman will generally be able to cut off other heroes horizontally or vertically).
