Okay, let's make a table.
Betza Formula
H.G. Muller Formula
Kevin Pacey's Calculation
My Own Estimate (mid-development)
Cat Value
= Archbishop. (about 7-7.5)
= 7 (7.5 counting multi-capture)
= 5.75 (6.25 counting multi-capture)
= 7 to 8
Queen Value
= Standard 9
Not a leaper (using standard value of 9)
= 10.5
= Standard 9
Star Cat Value
< Amazon. (about 10-11)
= 12 (13 counting multi-capture)
= 9.75 (10.75 counting multi-capture)
= 10-11
Hmm, so the Kevin Pacey system and the Betza system both agree with each other and my own prediction on the value of the Star Cat. On the other hand, Betza system agrees with the HGMuller formula, for the Cat and Queen values, which also happened to match my own predictions. However, Betza's system is in complete agreement with my own predictions, which were just minor playtesting.
