I do like your idea of dropping only as the demoted piece, but I'm not sure if I want to use it or not. It was nice to be able to drop a more powerful piece to perform a few double attacks, only to be weakened drastically once it captured, but on the other hand it makes longer game when the pieces are stuck a bit weaker for much of the game, and it makes players less likely to trade them once they've promoted to a more powerful piece.

...

Let's try it with only dropping the weaker face up, and if we like it, we can keep it, and if not, we can try the other again.

I still am interested in the vice general or rook general, so I'd probably like to try that next game and see how that goes.
