I can already tell that the new version is much more balanced. The Grand Chess-like setup with Camels on the corners of the board alone on the first rank is much more balanced. I have also extended the osmosis rules. Now when a basic piece captures anything but a Pawn or a corresponding piece, a compound piece is created. The promotion by capturing is reminiscent of Maka Dai Dai Shogi and possibly other large Shogi variants.
