I am curious to the winning conditions. They are not clear to me. Spartan Kings can venture into Check. I suppose they can be captured when they do. So they might be reduced to a single King. Do they lose by normal checkmate in that case?

What do you mean by evading the 'duple check'? Is it enough to evade one King, so that it is turned into a single check (which you are allowed to move into or stay in from other positions)? Why wold you have to evade at all? The opponent can never capture two Kings at the same time.

About your piece values: I think you underestimate the R+N and B+N compounds. When Q=9 they shoud be 8.75 and 8.25. The other two are about equal to a Knight (slightly weaker). In the FIDE army B=3.5 is only the first of a pair; the second should be equal to N.

A Commoner would also be slightly weaker than N in tactical value; I don't know what the check immunity buys you extra.
