Note that even a King and Commoner (nonroyal piece moving like a King) can checkmate a lone King on an 8x8 board, without using something like the King-Kaiser Faceoff rule. So a Kaiser and Duke can easily checkmate a lone King. Also the Checkmating Applet tells me that a Kaiser and two Eagles can checkmate a lone King in twenty moves or less. Dividing the Fairy Stockfish endgame values listed in the game by 2.76 yields:
I would guess that the minimum values are: Eagle=450, Cardinal=500, Tower=650, Duke=550. At least, I am reasonably certain that an Eagle and a Duke are a match for a pair of Cardinals. A final note: in a game of Empire Chess gaining Pawns seems more important than hanging on to all those higher valued pieces. My immediate goals would include trading an Eagle for Knight+Pawn and trading a Cardinal for Bishop+Pawn.
