Arimaa you can only use one character ﾍ

Hello all!
I'm really bored to normally play bots because they are way too weak, and Fritz or chessandgo don't play with me.
So I came up with a good handicap to play with bots!
I think the games will be much more fun if you can only use one character (for example, only elephants or horses) in appearance.
only when you decide your set-up, you can see which piece is which piece,and after that the characters turn into same pieces.
Please create this mode, Omarrrrr!
This idea was inspired by isshokugo ( go players only use white or black stones)

In few words what you want is a random set up?

No, I think he wants the normal setup abilities, but after the setup he wants each piece to be a mysterious block of the representative colour, so he has to remember what is where.

nope I did't mean the colour's change cuz even if you do
it, you can easily find out whether the piece are yours
or not.
I meant you would have bunnies(for example) which
have ability of elephant or horses or dogs and so on.
So the human has to memorize which bunny is elephant,
or camel and so on.

I want Omar to create the 3patterns!
First one is the case both players' pieces change to
something.
Second is the case only bot's pieces change.
Third is the case only human's pieces change.

Interesting suggestion, hanzack. One would have to have a very strong memory to play this. I don't think I would be able to play it; bad memory  Also I don't think I'll ever get around to implementing this; too many other things to do yet on the site.
But maybe what I can do, is reset your rating to approximately what it should be so that you can start playing rated games. I am sure Fritz and chessandgo would want to play you then
