you just need to give me its:
name
what it does
how it captures
what it looks like
Example:
Wall Builder
Moves like king and builds walls one square in front of it
Captures by building a wall over a piece
Looks like a pawn with a hard hat
---------------------------------------
and then i'll (try to) make a hypothesis of your idea!

Camel (Piece looks like a Canon):
Basically a Knight but it moves 1 case further:
Knight: O O O
O
Camel: O O O O
O
It Captures the same way as he moves

is there a limit to how many walls there can be in the board?
can the walls be broken at some point?

You guys are certainly on.......something.
I can try to put down a suggestion for normal-ish pieces to try to balance this out a bit.
Some of these are from online obviously
Inverted Pawn(Infantry I guess)
Firstly, a second type of pawn that functions in reverse to the normal ones: moves diagonally, captures forwards. Make it look different & split the 8 pawns into 6 normal & two inverted, with the new ones on the outside.
Jester
Moves like a queen, but it can't check or capture. It's role is to take up board space, either prevent an attack or block of the king's escape route.
Artillery
A more limited king, if you will. No diagonals allowed. But it has the tradeoff of taking up space, which is probably very valuable in a map control based game.
Elephant(in keeping with the origins)
Another support. It can move 3 squares in any cardinal direction(no diagonals) and can't check/capture, but get's to push a piece one square away in the direction it moves, creating space.
Due to all this space not really existing right now on the current chessboard, we increase the board to 12x12.
Is this unbalanced as shit? Yes. Do these pieces at least fit with the theme? Checkmate.

I think making a tank chess piece would be nice.
The way it moves is like this (but if you want to go sideways you got to waste one turn)
ooooo
(one turn)
ooooo
ooooo
I also think it would have a special ability to where any piece in its radius it could shoot an explosive and take out about 5 pieces at once.

Arsonist (yes yes not very good name idea)
Candle flame? Just to keep it simple.
Can move 4 spaces in any direction, jumping over other pieces.
Captures same way, but is removed from the game after first capture. The last spot in which it stood is impassable for the rest of the game. Jumping pieces (eg knights) can pass through, but cannot end their move on that place.
