Field notes
The lesson flow introduces each of the six added pieces through a single-move example. Game setup separates computer play, two-player games, and a mode where each king has a power; computer difficulty is labeled from Beginner to Strong. Players can also choose a daily army, described as the same for everyone, or build a custom one.
