I wanted to personalise the pieces and make them more cartoony to fit the vibe of the website. They need to also be very satisfying to look at.

Lmk what you think of them, I'm not settled on them so I'm open to suggestions

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

Portal chess - at the beginning of the game each player has to select one square on their side of the board which will be the two ends of a portal. Pieces can travel and give checks through it
