In this comment, Bn Em asked where adding a prefix Gold- to a piece should simply add the remaiing moves of the general with that prefix. that has never been the general rule, so to speak. In Man and Beast 04 I apply this rule only to pieces that have a uniform move in all the general's directions move of one type. To stick with Gold as an example, the Goldrook builds on a piece with the same move in all its orthgonal directions and the Goldmitre on one with the same move in all its disagonal ones.
Applied to pieces diovergent between forward directions d both kinds, prefixing adds the same kind of move in non-forward directions as the unprefixed piece has in forward directions of the same type. Thus a Goldpawn and Goldyeoman are a Steward and Contrasteward restricted to the Goldgeneral's directions. The Goldsteward is something more complicated still, moving as a Goldgeneral to empty cells but capturing as a Silvergeneral.
Man and Beast 11 extends the first approach to other piece moving in the directions of one of the relevant general's diecrtions, so that Golddabbaba is Dabbaba+Cross and Goldtusk Wazir+Tusk. Applied to pieces with just the forward directions of both components, however, follow the Pawn patter, so that Goldthief is neither Goldgeneral+Thief nor a Thief with the non-forward Wazir moves added but Dabbaba+Tusk. Likewise Goldfaculty is Rook+Tusk and Goldbeak Mitre+Dabbaba.
Prefixing the same article's Pig and Raj pieces is a matter of complementing a component in, in the case of Gold-, either all orthogonal directions or all forward diagonal ones. Thus the Goldsow enhances the Sow's Wazir component, and the Goldsahib the Sahib's Cross component, to Goldgeneral but the Goldboar enhances the Boar's Tusk component, and the Goldmemsahib the Memsahib's Dabbaba cmpomnent, to Goldthief. The Silversow, Silversahib, Silverboar, and Silvermemsahib enhance the other component to the Silver directions. The Goldturtle - which could be defined as Goldgeneral+Silverthief, Sow+Sahib, or Waffle+Fearless - is not even based on an unprefixed Turtle piece.
In summary, the prefixing convention in Man and Beast has never been just about adding the missing moves of the relevant general. A Goldgeneral with the forward orthogonal move extended indefintely but none of the others can also be seen as a Goldsow with its two-step move extended Pocketwise, or the compoumnd of Sowon and Ferzcross. Convenientyl these are two possible interpretations of "Goldsowon", a term that I have not yet formally defined as a piece name but perhaps should. If so it would be in MAB 11 rather than MAB 04.
