I hope to post a variant using some of these new pieces soon. [EDIT:] Opulent Lemurian Shatranj.

Claudio: most combinations of the four basic building blocks have already been tried. The W+F+A+D piece has been called Squire by Eric V. Greenwood, Swiss Guard by Paul DeWitte, and Mammoth by Mats Winther. I estimate the Mammoth to be equal to the Archbishop (Cardinal) on an 8x8 board and to a pair of Bishops on a 10x10 board.

[EDIT]Key McKinnis lists multiple armies. His WAZIR army for the 9x9 board contains the minister (W+F+A+D), minirook (W+D), and priest (F+A).
