I really like this concept. To me it seems like a great Chess-Arimaa hybrid. I don't know whether you consciously considered that, but the Centurions function much like the Rabbits in Arimaa, whereby you win by getting a Rabbit to the other side, or by capturing all of the opponent's Rabbits, with the last Rabbit effectively becoming royal (although it is not defined that way, losing it means losing the game).
I have often thought about how to bring about a synthesis of Chess and Arimaa, but have never been able to come up with a concept that satisfies me. YOU have done so, however. Thanks!
