Ah yes, you are right, I corrected that now. Still working on alfaerie compound images, I think I should have most now.

The article seems self-contradictory on this, because elsewhere it says a Queen is not a normal Queen because it can merge too. But getting any pair of basic pieces to merge takes effort enough, so I will leave it at that. It probably would not make sense to merge more than two, because most triples would have overlapping moves, which could depress the synergy so much that it actually becomes negative. Even  in the non-overlapping case of the Amazon I did not detect any synergy w.r.t. Q + N.

I assume merging of identical types is forbidden (rather than just bad strategy). The article is not clear about that either.
