Why not every line of knights moves too? Because the cells aren't adjacent I'd say. (Both immediately make the problem unsolvable since all corners must match).

Seems "unfair" that hexagons have multiple line lengths to consider. I think this article's modification is a good one in that framing: Shifting every number up or down doesn't make the magic squares any easier, but it certainly helps with hexagons.
