Regarding random placements... Has anyone tried with fortresses on
opposite
CORNERS, adjusting the rule of opposite-kings to diagonals? Would it
work?
If it does, then the only difficult case is when a fortress is in the
center and the other is on a corner...

Maybe (just thinking here, I haven't tested this and I don't know if
that would be too powerful) we could give blue some control about it. For
example, letting him swap two adjacent sections of his own if that
happens. (That is, if it's blue's fortress which is in the corner, he
would be forced to play with both fortresses in the center, but if his
fortress is in the middle [and red's is in a corner] then he could
choose
if he wanted opposite corners or parallel corners)
