What if the knight was replaced by a wazir in these variants? (like rooks are replaced by nightriders.) -- PS .. for example, the Nightrider version of the FIDE army would be : Nightrider, Wazir, Bishop, Unicorn, King, Bishop, Wazir, Nightrider The Schoolbook N would be : Nightrider, Unicorn, Wazir, Bishop, Dragon Horse, King, Bishop, Wazir, Nightrider+Wazir (Dragon Knight?), Nightrider. This can apply to all the variants. Similar armies and different armies. Wazirs are certainly weaker than knights; but this, ideally, would compensate for the high mobility of Nightriders.
