I'm potentially looking into adding new armies, but would like some figure ratings for the ones I have.

I will add the exchange values of the pieces (without confirmation from Fairy Max yet):

Humans

1.0 Swordsman = Pawn
3.75 Crossbowman = Bishop
3.5 Pegasus = Knight
5.25 Elephant = Rook
10 Titan = Queen

Orcs

1.25 Guard = Slow Orthogonal Pawn
3.0 Harpy = Flying Bishop / FerzAlfil
4.5 Werewolf = Orthogonal Lame Knight / MaoWazir
4.5 Cyclop = Ski Rook
9.0 Dragon = Chancellor

Elves

1.5 Fairy = Diagonal Pawn
2.5 Archer = Ski Bishop
4.5 Unicorn = Diagonal Lame Knight / MoaFerz
4.5 Griffin = Flying Rook / WDH
8.0 Phoenix = Archbishop

These evaluations differ from the opening evaluations, since the exchanges usually take place in the middlegame.

Here is an Interactive Diagram of alternative icons for Elves and Orcs (example).
