Daniil Frolov has managed it againn in Waterfall Xiang Qi. The analogues to the General and to some but not all Point promotees appear to be entirely new pieces.
The pieces on the middle level and the middle filestack, save for their intersection, are of course standard Xiang Qi pieces, albeit ones able to leave that level or filestack and reach the rest of the board. Of the pieces on the long diagonals of ranks the Guards are Man and beast 01 Viceroys (as acknowledged) and the Eunuchs Man and Beast 06 Stepping Eunuchs, while the Battering rams, Fireworks, and Mules are Brooks, Acannons, and Stepping Nsextons from Man and Beast 12 - the B, A, and N stand for Bishop, Arrow, and Ninja. Interestingly I originally termed the Nsexton a Mule myself until I decided to substitute something more suitable for extrapolation - to Uelf for a Camel analogue, Lfencer for a Zebra one, et cetera (U being for Underscore and L fr Lecturer).
The promoted Hirelings are essentially Fwazirs (F for Ferz) without the backward step. The plain Wazir with no backward step I term a Superpoint, but that will clearly not do for a different piece. Perhaps it should be considered a Super- verion of a notional Cpoint (C for Cross), and so termed a Supercpoint.
The piece at the centre of the end ranks is essentially a royally-restricted version of the compound of the Wazir and Fwazir, and the promoted Lieutenant the compound of Superpoint and Supercpoint. This hints at the possibility of other compounds such as Rook+Brook, Cannon+Acannon, and Knight+Nsexton - alongside the Baron (Ferz+Viceroy) and Elk (Elephant+Eunuch). Any ideas about a naming pattern for these pieces?
The names Battering ram, Firework, Hireling and Mule are not currently in Man and Beast, but Ram on its own is Horn+Point, the forward form of he Besieger, in Man and Beast 01 and Fire- as a prefix indicates the direction of Man and Beast 10's Firegeneral, which is Rumbaba+Heir. Lieutenant I use for Sexton+Lecturer in Man and Beast 05.
