By referring to the Generic Piece Creation System you seem to have imported nonsense into your article. No way the Lioneer would be 160 when a Queen is 110. Even on 8x8 a KNAD is only about 15% more valuable than Q. And the Lioneer is inferior to the KNAD because its moves to the 2nd ring can be blocked. While the large board size strongly favors sliders over leapers. Very Likely the Queen is the stronger piece here.

If you want to say something about piece values, better presnt values that make sense. It is better to say nothing at all than to mislead people with nonsensical values.

And why did you replace the rather original 'Rook that could jump the first square' move of the Helopolis by the unimaginative WDH? This really seems a pity.
