Sujet: Piece Values

The piece values in Omega Chess (Don't its claims about evolution sound similar to Gothic Chess's?), another large board variant, are given on this page. The values seem confusing, for example, the bishop is described as "4 points. This is a hard call since the size of the board increases the range and power of the bishop..." But in Gothic Chess, I thought the larger board was supposed to reduce the power of every piece? How were the Omega Chess values calculated?
