I've altered the text to reflect the feedback here. (I think I got it all; I lost the edits, and tried to redo them, so I might have missed one or two.) It's all quite good; I especially appreciate the points on the Lioneer (I hadn't looked closely enough at the Chu Shogi Lion), Lancer, and position of colorbound pieces.

Regarding that last item, I'm switching the Falconer and Spy, and the Lancer and Lioneer. Besides giving better balance (no, that wasn't intentional), the new positions seem more logical from a "character" perspective.

I'll have to wait for another day (probably Thursday) to mess with correcting the graphics (including the layout example), but I'll lean toward more traditional symbols. (The flipped horse for the Nightrider still really bugs me -- though on the other hand, I hadn't found a proper symbol for the Lancer until about 10 minutes ago, and wouldn't have if you hadn't spoken up about it.) I'll post here when that's done.

In addition to the change in the Lancer's move, I'd appreciate a good look at the changes I'm considering for Archer and Tank (in the Notes section).
