Ferz Army

25 Ferz (with king) Vs Chess army. Don't worry about the engine's initial evaluation. Setting custom piece values for the ferzes requires changing the variant's ID name, which causes runtime errors. So the base code is used, meaning the engine will miscalculate and underestimate the Ferz Army. Recommended to play against AI level 4 or higher for the best challenge.

This is a user-catalogued casual variant. Technical details such as board size, FEN, pieces, and hand rules are defined in the Fairy-Stockfish variants.ini block below.
