The main idea was to keep the chessgame basically unaltered except that the tribes can be used as animated piece sets. Somewhat similar to Battle Chess. I think that some might find the opportunity to watch the critters get slaughtered on the chessboard appealing. The other alteration would be to allow WinBoard engines to control the other side during the normal Settlers game, eg. "post" would mean build and "nopost" tear down. Different buildings would be associated with pieces, eg. a black bishop would be a blacksmith and a white bishop a bakery. This idea obviously needs a bit of refinement to work coherently. We might need a new protocol. Maybe the UBI (Universal Board Interface) protocol would be a proper name. That's a very roughly sketched idea. But remember, it's free! Regards, Mogens
