Sure they had primitive hand cannons they took from the Chinese but that's nothing on a good artillery piece. that island evolution thing is real, that's why when rats/cats are introduced to random islands they usually end up killing everything on there.

C: Why the gently caress would sonic, the fastest character, be the king when the king is most famous for being only able to go one space at a time while sonic is famous for moving fast? D: How do you tell which piece belongs to which side? The entire game seems exceptionally poorly conceived. Applewhite fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Jan 29, 2016 |

Luvcow posted:I'm confused about the moving towers in shatranj, the rooks are called war chariots, or rukhs, and Persians armored and decorated them to resemble fortresses, and when it was imported to the west through Italy the word rukh looked like the Italian word rocca, for fortress, so they ended up looking like castles Applewhite posted:They turn into rock monsters to move.

i would be impressed with a chess master that could play Taikyoku shōgi with any kind of skill. it was invented in the 16th century. it is played on a 36x36 grid, each side has 402 pieces, with 253 distinct move sets (and each piece is double sided, with an upgraded version on the back with different moves  ). to put that in perspective, chess is played on a 8x8 board and each side has 16 pieces, with 6 unique move sets:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taikyoku_shogi   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c0Y26iTPSM

chickens could easily dodge a katana and were actually worshipped as gods, much like cows in india or goats in china

Applewhite posted:Could you construct your own pieces? No, but I remember there was a unique, short video clip for every possible capture. Like, a pirate pawn would dig a pitfall and put a big X on it so when the other guy would try to dig up treasure they'd fall in and the culprit would look smug as poo poo. All the various pieces had their own cute idle animations and such. I'd probably find it extremely annoying if I wasn't an actual child at the time.
