who at Gearbox thought this design was a good idea
like who suggested “12-foot-tall buff guy with a head the size of a baby’s,” who drew it out, and who said “yea that looks GREAT”
You’re just jealous they grasp perspective and forshortening better than you. In reality his head is really far back.
Wai-
Ah–
No…I…I don’t think that makes the design any better…
Perhaps this will change your mind.
you know Bones, what if the reason kings can only move one space is becasue they are just slow? instead of a small helpless old man who's just in the battlefield as a symbol, they could be towering warriors with heavy suit of armour. also on another note, you outdid yourself with the white knights and rooks 10/10 that's some paladin-y shit right there
they are the weakest in terms of they can only move one space and it’s dangerous to put them out on the battlefield early battle.
They are only dangerous if you are close to them/one space away from them. Other than that, they can’t cross an L and jump, they can’t go across the map diagonally or horizontally, they can’t have the abilities the queen has.
essentially they are only capable of protecting themselves or one or two pieces that are probably around.
Compare the king to a pawn, a pawn can at least move front 2 spaces and/or if there’s someone that’s on a diagonal, it can move forward then eat someone on the diagonal square, but if it were a king, he could only move forward and the /pawn/ could take down the /king/
Also, many situations in which a king could actually take a piece, it often puts the king in check.

In any situation where a pawn can take down a king, the king can take down the pawn first. The pawn has to be moved into position to take the king, since the king legally can't move into position to be taken by a pawn. Kings are very powerful late game because of their consistency. Unlike any other piece, since you lose otherwise, you can count on having it be there. Most "fundamental" endgames use the king offensively and its considered flawed play to leave the king running in the endgame.
Yes but you’re missing the point which is that the king strictly only moves one space, no matter what, while a pawn does move once but if theres someone on the two diagonal spaces in front, they CAN eat em. King can’t and risks getting eaten.
Do ya see my point here
the king can take things on diagonals though? in most late game instances after your pawn structure has been eaten, a king is much more versitile, since it can always move forewards and backwards.
a pawn can get upgraded :y
Also a king can’t take a pawn if it would put him in check, like if two pawns were diagonal from each other, thus placing king in a situation where taking one pawn would cause him to be defeated by a second pawn.
