Reinhardt, I'm posting your values from the wiki for the Minister [NDW]
and High Priestess [NAF]. [These values were calculated by the method he
gives a link to in his last post.] Thank you for the numbers. Would you
say that the values would remain the same or very similar on a 10x10 where
the other pieces increased or decreased in power?

 Values for Minister and High Priestess by SMIRF's method
Scharnagl 4 May 2007, 07:54 -0-400

As far as I understood those pieces are 'close' types. Thus by SMIRF's
method their third value element is always zero because both first
elements are equal. It results (please verify this) in 8x8 values:
Minister 6+5/7, High Priestess 6+1/28, in 10x10 values: Minister 6+44/45,
High Priestess 6+19/45. Thus a Minister seems to be about 1/2 Pawn unit
more valued than a High Priestess.
