I have this idea to create a playable chess scenario in aoe3 and got to wondering which units should represent which pieces? These are my ideas:
Pawn - pikeman I think this is obvious as pikemen are cheap, ubiquitous, but still pack a punch in close range.
Horsie - hussar both horses
Bishop - priest starting to think this thread was a little too obvious to warrant making
Rook - falconet now this one I struggled with a lot but settled on the falc because basically falcs deserve to be exchanged for actually usable units like priests and hussars and because forts would take up too much room
Queen - Isabella
My queen
King - Stuart spoiled, kind of usueless, and arbitrarily important.
Agree except for Bishop - I think this is Dragoon with fast movement and ability to snipe from weird angles.

I think pawns are villagers. Without them the game wouldn't work. They can also transform into attacking units with a revolt.

this does fit better with the conventional value system... bishop ~ knight < rook and even better with the finer value system that bishop >~ knight, but knights can situationally outshine
but cmon just put the guy with the bishop hat in for the bishop idk
Pawn - Settler: smol but important and it makes sense that they can be "promoted" to military units
Knight - Hussar (ok)
Bishop - Priest (ok)
Rook - Falconet (alright)
Queen - idk, if you want to make a playable scenario how can you play Queen Isabella ? I mean she's not a unit. A female character like Amelia Black could be an option, as an OP unit like a Gendarme looks less like a Queen.
King - Explorer: he matches well with the King as he can't die and can be important in small fights
Consider not the one who speaks the truth, but the truth that is said
