If somebody is interested in my 'dislocation pieces' (or what to call them) I have reworked three of them: the Ladon, the Castalia, and the Stheno. They have caused me some headache because they proved not to be so strong as I expected, so I had to give them more powers, so they can compete with the other pieces in the traditional set. The Castalia is now capable of both attracting and repelling. The latter is applied only on enemy pieces when the Castalia stops next to one. I suspect this double dislocation is unique. My latest dislocation piece is the Echidna.

For people interested in weak pieces, camels, etc., and short-range pieces, it seems like dislocation pieces could combine with them finely while they tend to be weak. There is much to discover in this field, but be aware that this family of pieces can become too wild and unpredictable if the movement and capture rules aren't restricted. /Mats
