Yes, that sort of thing, Christine, good idea, although it sounds a bit
coercive. Perhaps certain pieces can be more vulnerable to seduction than
others. A seduction could also involve being attracted to a piece that
falls within a certain range (thus having to move one or two squares
closer to it - opposite to the effect of the fearsome ghast of nemoroth).
An attractive piece, literally...
Well, one idea is that a piece falling in love with another piece has to
follow it around. Such a thing could happen if a piece gets struck by a
cupid piece which could operate similarly to the coordinator in ultima and
such variants. The coordinator carries its move out by drawing an imaginary
love triangle so to speak between itself, its king and another piece. A
cupid piece could form triangles among all sorts of pieces, friendly and
foe alike.
