I'm correcting most of your points, but addressing these here:

General: I've tried rewording this (again). Hopefully it's clear enough now; if not, I'm not sure how to better explain it. "Moves orthogonally an even number of spaces"?

Lancer: After your point on how little of the board this piece can reach, I've changed the moves to an "and/or" option; in addition to those shown on the outdated move diagram, it can move two spaces in any direction. I simply haven't updated any of the move diagrams because, as I indicated, I'm waiting to see if you think the icons on the new layout board look right (as well as the different Archer and Tank move/captures).

Nightrider: Same point about my waiting to update the move diagrams.

Pawn: I haven't been able to remember the proper term for Row 16 for White/Row 1 for Black.

Wizard: Reread the description. It's stated that the Wizard here "does not jump" (emphasis added).
