If it is indeed promotion, than I shall change my rating. I've changed my last comment, seeing that there is more mutation than promotion, but contend that the ability of promotion is far too great, overpowering the mutation, and I do not think piece changing without movement should be such an integral part of gameplay. The strength of these pieces is also ridiculous, especially considering the frequent drops.
Amazons are bad, Amazonriders are terrible, and dropping them is just unheard of. There is a certain Eastern principle of balance that makes games like Shogi playable.
