To get it straight: The "royal pawns" don't promote? Than the piece is a Man or a Commoner, known from historic Chess Variants like Courierspiel.

Next point: What about en passant? Is it allowed or not, and if yes, do only quick pawns capture en passant or also the royal pawns? (One could argue: Why talk about en passant when it does not exist in this game. But we all come from Chess and a difference between a Chess Variant and FIDE Chess should be made explicit.)
