My work is not better. I am not a big fan of compound pieces but I admit they are popular. For the BN and RN, i have copied the Camaratta's design, found in Musketeer's set. I like them both. For the RF, Admiral, my idea was to make a "tower on tower", like the Fortress of Mskt set. I found that this design, which is Zied's one, is good to represent an augmented Rook. Then, logically, i've made the BW, Missionary, as "Bishop over bishop". I have put the second slot vertical, crossing the regular one, thus forming a cross that reminds of the Wazir move. Of course, another possibility would be to design a dragon with a crown, and a dragon with a horse's head. I have not tried those yet.
