I think Aurelian may have meant he would prefer if the Archbishops were each one square in front of all the Chancellors. However, if they developed two squares forward like a Kt, they might be vulnerable to an undeveloped enemy Vao.

Having the Archbishops in the centre on the 1st rank would seem to be a possible improvement on the setup too, but I think Fergus may have definitely wanted the Cannons of an army to have empty squares to move to (on the 1st rank) at once, if a player desired, sort of like in (10x10) Shako.
