While reading up again on this game as to reading some info on Facebook, I came up with a possible improvement.

I'm thinking about player gaining points for capturing enemy pieces say 1/5 or 1/4 out of the usual value (0.2,0.6,1,1.8 or 1.25,0.75,1.25,2.25) and being able the use whole point to buy pieces with the cost being the usual value. This would be  to discourage trying to control neutral armies to fast. Initial placement will probably need to change but I'm thinking within the context. Bought pieces would be of the player's color and buying occurs as a move concurrently with dropping the bought pieces adjacent to the players king (if the full move is not possible then the buying cannot take place). Is this idea good?
