At least in 2-d chess odd-by-odd only gives a discrepancy of one square. Also, note that any unicorn can go to squares of both bishop colours and any bishop to those of all four unicorn colours. For a more symmetric solution, using only 3 more squares than Raumschach, see 4x4x8 by Alberto Monteiro (last before A in the 3-d index at time of writing) and my comments on it.
