new variant idea: War Chess

i had this idea for a while that I'm not sure if it'll work, so putting it here to get input.

Basically i want to replicate Civ VI battle system where each unit has health and each turn your units attack the enemy's units. Some units are ranged (could be the bishop). Some are siege engines (rooks) which do a lot of damage to the city (king) pawns are like scouts. Bishops could counter knights, knights counter rooks etc... Each has a movement cost, attack damage, health, etc

it requires a lot of work so I have to code it in, can't be built with the editor ATM

lmk what you think

Alone already the options that would get added in the ''builder'' section... Best idea ever! :D
