Yes, Zillions does have the Tiger-riders of Citadel as a bit stronger than Queens, but more rays are blockable on their first move than Queens and this perhaps seems to knock their value down, at least on Zillions.
Yes, I agree that the text of Citadel could be tedious, in parts, with regard to describing its piece moves and rules (I find that few games aren't, at least in parts), but this was in the days when I tried to make absolutely sure that there would be no misunderstanding of the piece moves and rules to my games (I still do - it is very easy for the inexperienced to misunderstand such things unfortunately).....I try to counter-balance the mundane matter of learning piece moves and rules with a short background story to my games that hopefully some might find interesting.
What matters of course, though subjective, is how interesting and well Games and/or Pieces actually play.
to H.G. Muller.....thanks for the reply.
