Here is a board that could be a very good solution for making the Citadel

Interestingly, checkmate can be done with any piece, with imperfect play, and many pieces, with perfect play. I would prefer if Citadel occupation were a win, however.

Can pieces other than king occupy citadel? And, if can, can king occupy his own citadel?

Is'nt it earliest known game with piece, moving like modern bishop?
