Why not use the Ferz image for the Monkey King and the King image for the Pilgrim?

Why don't the Crazy Footsoldiers or the Mad Infantrymen promote?

Heian-Dai Shogi - Early Great Shogi. Early Great Shogi. (13x13, Cells: 169) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

It seems that, like Wa Shogi, Heian Dai Shogi could be played very well with drops.

I wish that there was a "Leaper Chess" with this board layout and pieces, but without the wormholes. That could be interesting.

I noticed that it could be played with a regular shogi set, with the pawns representing dolphins, the bishop representing the gray whale, a horse representing the narwhal, a gold general representing the humpback, a silver general representing the blue whale, the rook representing the porpoise, and the promoted rook representing the killer whale.

How do Pawns promote? Can they promote to Voidriders? Where do they promote if the spaces move so much?
