Calculating Ultima piece values[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Zillions' estimates are suspect at the best of times, but IIRC it is also known to grossly undervalue capturing power compared to mobility (for example, I believe it considers a ghost to be worth several times as much as a queen). Since capturing is the only difference between most Ultima pieces, I would place exactly zero faith in Zillions' estimates in this case.
