There's a visual bug with CountRoyals() where it counts a piece with the protected/counterStrike property as royal if there are no true royals of the same color on the board. This probably has something to do with how values in the royalness array are interpreted within the function.

As per your recommendations, I did some testing with the AI, and I encountered a bug where the counter-strike rule is not being followed by the AI at all.
