Limiting the topic to the Japanese Jostlers and the Orderly Originals, I would recommend replacing the gold general with the "cat sword" from Dai Shogi. Conveniently, this piece moves like a ferz.
Why am I replacing a 9-point piece with a 6-point piece? Because the Elephant/Bishop equivalent piece in Makruk moves like a silver general and nothing that I have read on the web says that it is worth less than 12 points. Meanwhile the rook was traditionally worth four times as much as an alfil. That raises the alfil from 3 points to 5 points. Which leads to:
NEW J.J. TOTAL 77 - 3 + 4 + 4 = 82. NEW O.O. TOTAL 78 + 2 + 2 = 82.
