How do Pawns promote? Can they promote to Voidriders? Where do they promote if the spaces move so much?

I noticed that it could be played with a regular shogi set, with the pawns representing dolphins, the bishop representing the gray whale, a horse representing the narwhal, a gold general representing the humpback, a silver general representing the blue whale, the rook representing the porpoise, and the promoted rook representing the killer whale.

Do the red blood cells promote? Also, what happens when a prion-infected virus captures?

What is the point of the PlasticKeyboard?

Please show the piece movements.

The strength order probably goes like this:

Advancer - 8 points
Chameleon - 6 points
Long Leaper - 5 points
Archer - 5 points
Withdrawer - 3.5 points (resistant to the Immobilizer)
Swapper - 2.5 points
Withdrawer - 2.5 points (not resistant)
Pawn - 1 point

I wish that there was a "Leaper Chess" with this board layout and pieces, but without the wormholes. That could be interesting.

It seems that, like Wa Shogi, Heian Dai Shogi could be played very well with drops.

Why don't the Crazy Footsoldiers or the Mad Infantrymen promote?

Why not use the Ferz image for the Monkey King and the King image for the Pilgrim?
