In looking for the link to Full Tamerlane Chess, I found that title belongs to a game by Greg Myers, but his game is currently hidden, because it still needs some work. This leads me to think that maybe you were not referring to his game. Were you referring to Greg Myers's Full Tamerlane Chess, to Tamerlane Chess, or to some other game?
: I didnt refer him. I found 'Full tamerlane chess' on the other site.
Regarding the piece descriptions, "move" can be a bit of a vague term. In the description of the Elephant, it's unclear whether the piece moves as a Bishop up to two spaces or can leap one or two spaces diagonally. I consulted Tamerlane Chess in case it used the same Elephant, but it does not. Its Elephant can leap two spaces but cannot move one space. The same goes for the Dabbaba.
: The elephant and Dabbaba are stemed from Tamerlane chess, but i added some move to them and other pieces.
While the Camel is normally a leaper, your description of it suggest that it might not be. The Templar sounds like it might be the Horse from Chinese and Korean Chess. In general, you need to make a clear distinction between true leapers, which may go directly to a space despite obstacles, and lame leapers, which must pass over certain spaces to reach their destination.
: In Citadelir chess, the Camel is also a leaper.
: The Templar moves 1 square orthogonally and then 1 squares diagonally and it can capture a piece with this move. and the Templar can also moves 1 square orthogonally and then 2 squares diagonally but it cannot capture a piece with this move.

@Fergus Duniho
there are no further modifications to this game. all rules are complete.
@Fergus Duniho
I updated some piece images. I replaced the Cannon image with the Dabbabah image, the shield image with the Champion image, and the Berolina Pawn image with the Steward image. This will make the diagrams clearer to those who are already familiar with the standard images used for particular pieces. The Guard in this game is more or less the same as the Steward in John William Brown's Centennial Chess. Details about whether it can make double moves or capture by en passant should be included.
: I modified the pieces and I changed the image to fit the modified pieces.
The leaper diagram suggests that the Templar moves as the Knight. If this is the case, then the description would be clearer if it said that it moves as the Knight. As it is written, the description sounds like that of the Horse in Chinese or Korean Chess, which follows a particular path and may be blocked on the first step. Instead of saying that a piece moves as a Templar without moving as an Ox, it would be clearer to say that it moves as a Knight.
: Sorry, but Templar's move remains. because on the 8x8 board, the knight and bishop have similar powers, but at 12x12, the bishop is much stronger than the knight, so we had to add new move to the knight to balance it.
- Templar's move : Templar is a leaper. It can move like the knight, or the ox. whether you move as a knight or as ox, it can leap. but it cannot capture a piece when it move like the ox.
@Ben Reiniger
I get that the Templar is a knight plus captureless-ox, but the other pieces that move like a "Templar but not as an Ox" should instead just say they move like a knight or <whatever>; I think that would be substantially clearer.
: Yes. I'll fix it.
The Giraffe's description wasn't clear to me, but the movement diagram mostly fixes that. But, is the Giraffe blocked by a piece diagonally adjacent?
: Yes. It moves 1 diag and straight.

I envision the shape of a knightly Chess piece as a flat square like Janggi, Xiangqi, or Shogi. Then pieces can show the knight state on their bottom side.
Flapping piece = Changing its state
Lion can capture enemy lion without any restrictions.
[Problems to fix in my interative diagram]
Why promotion is wrong. Why cannot drop. Why other pieces cannot be promoted.
Really thank you!! 8ㅅ8
Thank you!! ///ㅅ///
And if you okay, can i know how i see the value of all pieces?
If you are okay, Can i know where and how did you use the mnemonic characters?
