Jorg,
Well ZoG gives relative values-Coordinator, Chameleon~3.3, Pincer Pawn~7.3,
Immobiliser, Withdrawer, Long Leaper~11, which are clearly off. The
chameleon for example has an actual value thats basically the average of
all opposition pieces on the board.
I already have a pretty good idea of practical values of Ultima pieces, but
was just trying to find a clinical method of finding their values. I think
I'm fighting a losing battle here though as whereas chess pieces (in
chesslike environment) have relative values dependent only on the size and
shape of the board, Ultima pieces depend mostly on "game environment"
which is a much more amorphous concept...
