Nice start to a valuable bit of design information. And an excellent way to show that shortrange pieces, with the same range, and which move to the same number of squares, are not of equal value. Love to see graphics rather than ASCII diagrams, but the amount of work that has presently gone into this is already considerable.

You started a 7x7 grid after dealing with the 5x5s and pieces that move 1 or 2 squares only. I have one diagram to add.

 S Z S H S Z S     
 Z S H H H S Z
 S H S H S H S
 H H H O H H H
 S H S H S H S
 Z S H H H S Z
 S Z S H S Z S

where:  S = bent Shaman; Z = Zebra; H = bent Hero; with Hero and Shaman coming from Lemurian Shatranj/Opulent LemS. H = [D +/- W] S = [A +/- F]
