I've returned the Berserker to the Cho Shugi Lion moves, but retained the Berserker name because it fits this army so much better. (The move diagram still needs those stars, please, Mr. Editor!)

There was no need to move the Generals; I'd absentmindedly had them programmed as leapers instead of sliders. That's fixed now.

I also gave the Knights a bit of extra range, both to help deal with the larger board and to help deal with the Berserkers.

And while I haven't changed the text description yet, I've also restored the Wizard's leaping, and given it the ability to swap with a friendly piece.

Depending on how well these things go over, I'll update the Wizard's text (or its moves on the IG) and the Helepolis's moves (to reflect the added (0,4) leap) tomorrow.
