Emperor

Your king may also move like a queen.

Everified
Piece
king
Rule
Your king gains queen-style movement along ranks, files, and diagonals.
Conflicts
Does not grant jumping. Does not allow moving into check. With Regicide, the Emperor king may still be captured only if the enemy has a rule allowing royal capture.
Emblem
Radiant imperial crown with long rays.
Image prompt
Simple circular badge showing a radiant imperial crown with sun rays, gold vector heraldic style, no text, readable behind a king icon.
Internal implementation notes

Adds queen sliding move patterns to the king. The king still remains royal, cannot pass through blockers, and cannot end on an attacked square unless another rule changes check legality.

Test coverage from manifest
  • King can move multiple clear squares horizontally.
  • King can move multiple clear squares vertically.
  • King can move multiple clear squares diagonally.
  • Emperor movement can give check along queen lines.
  • King cannot move through blockers.
  • King cannot end on attacked square.
  • King cannot capture friendly pieces unless Tyrant is also active in custom multi-perk modes.
  • Applying the perk action and replaying the resulting event log reaches the same final state hash.
