I like the game (still directly accessible 2 entries up if anyone comes here by mistake!), but do not understand your analysis of it. Do you mean that the Camel interacts with the Knight nearly as effectively as the Bishop does with the Rook, or that the Camel is as weak compared to the Knight as the Bishop is compared to the Rook? Either of these would make sense as the Camel is a colourbound Knight in the sense that the Bishop is a colourbound Rook (b1-a3-c4 triangle and all that). For the same reason you surely cannot mean that the Camel is nearly as powerful as the Rook, as your text could suggest to those familiar with the (approximate) Bishop-Knight equivalence.
