Quite interesting!
I have to disagree - it is not much like std chess (play-wise at least)-
the game is substantially altered because of those pieces.
Am I right in understanding the mace this way: I move my mace next to
enemy pieces. Then on same turn I can take them off the board?
Also, is it compulsory to remove all pieces attacked by mace?
And if mace removes piece/pawn that exposes king to check then does that
not mean that the opponent can then capture your king?
I was wondering too what do you think of adding one mace and one
Horse-apult to my customizable game : pick piece big chess. I think it
will be a bit slower than yours but it might be quite interesting.
If you dont mind - I can add that into the presets for my game.
