Mr. Mueller: I know your chess engine plays Capa games a lot better than anything Zillions can do. Zillions is only for prototyping new ideas for games to make sure the games doesn't have any gross problems before making the game public.
I think looking at a Capa 8x10 setup is probably the best chess variant to deeply analyze. These particular avenue has been pretty deeply analyzed, with a pretty good idea about the value of the pieces and what not. I think it's important the opening setup has no controversy; I like the original Carrera setup (RANBQKBNCR), but Embassy chess (RNBQKCABNR) can also be worth looking at.
