Diminishing Returns
There is a bug in which if a player resigns and you take the dead royal king, it still has seven check and the royal sign. For this reason, turn on resigned pieces move (Which I think resolves this bug).
The rules should be as followed if it is to be accepted-
-Setup complete should be on
-Setup rank is default, and pawn home rank is 4th
-Even though the setup material shows 3, there is only supposed to be one soldier per side.
-Also bare piece rule isnt really neccecary so CGAs may remove it if they wish
-Stalemate loss is there even though it is unlikely to happen, but we dont want players to sacrifice all of their pieces and then hill rush.

Description- "With every move pushing you down, use your pawns to turn this game around"
Thanks NWO!

Ye guys it's my second submission! Celebrate! It's also my first 4pc submission.
DISCLAIMER: This WAS inspired by hourglass (an earlier version where there was any capture) but I feel like the gameplay is sufficiently different (Being 4pc and any capture) and does not rely too much on any one piece.

Also if this does get accpeted please credit Nowellokay for all of his advice!

Strategies-
-Dont lose your archbishop to the alfil in the opening.
-promote your seargent
-Pick up some pieces from your opponent
-Defens against attacks
-When it seems most viable, rush for hill
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some things to note-
-Red does not have a huge first move advantage, and if they do have, fatal capture should resolve it
-Alfil rider is under rated, honestly.
-The king is WITHOUT DOUBT a hugely important piece, sacking an alfil rider for it is actually a good scenario.

Im sure the CGAs will discover the rest of the strategies
edit: My best variant so far apparently
edit #2: dam making a revision for this will be tuff
