Author Topic: Standardized Territory Layout... (Read 7397 times)

uthminister [BR] · « **on:** August 26, 2010, 10:59:10 PM »

I noticed at Nationals that people put their cards in all kinds of different places on the table when they play...which for me caused quite a bit of confusion. Just out of curiosity, what territory layout do you use? Do you use the layout on the rule card included in starter decks or do you use a different one? Please explain your layout instead of using a term that I may not be privy to...thanks!

Nice...so basically the way the rule card shows it with a few variations...

set-aside redeemed souls

Forts heroes arts
EC's deck
LS discard
i switch around the set-asides, redeemed souls, and the Forts sometimes, the rest mainly stays the same.

I use what Sauce uses. probably because that's how I taught him to play.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #5 on:** August 26, 2010, 11:28:00 PM »

Sometimes I put my set asides really far right. As far as I can reach.

yay another one of these threads

I use the CA Style except with a more "current" version of it then what Bryon has on his Website.

Evil Characters are on the Left with Land of Bondage under them. Good is on the Right. Discard pile is placed under the deck which is placed in between the Good and Evil Sides. Arts, Forts, Set Aside, Rescued and anything else under the sun is placed tilted 90 degrees to the right of the Good Cards. This Varies from Player to player as some of us put arts and forts in front of our decks instead of on the far right.

Keeping in mind that I'm left handed here is how I align my cards:

This is all very interesting and lets me know that I had a very different but not that different view of the CA style. I have been working with a printer, trying to put together playmats for Redemption. That is the whole reason I am asking the most common set-up of your territory. What do you think about the idea of having one standardized way of setting up the game so that playmats could be produced? I have two layouts that I have been working with which I will post shortly once I put them on photobucket...

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #9 on:** August 27, 2010, 10:07:22 AM »

Redemption isn't playmat friendly due to a lack of limits on the numbers of cards on the field.

I agree. Maybe just an insert card in all the new sets would be easier and more people would get those than the mats anyways.

uthminister [BR] · « **Reply #11 on:** August 27, 2010, 10:13:27 AM »

I certainly think it is not doable with Type-2, but for Type-1 I think that it could work. I have some mock-up playmats that we have been playing around with and it makes the game so much more organized and makes it easier to recognize what you opponent has out...

Here are the two layouts we have been using...

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #12 on:** August 27, 2010, 10:43:45 AM »

Nothing should ever go behind the deck IMO.

uthminister [BR] · « **Reply #13 on:** August 27, 2010, 10:45:45 AM »

So it doesn't hide stuff behind it or for another reason?

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #14 on:** August 27, 2010, 11:58:54 AM »

right. I think that the first one you posted should be standardized. I made a thread like this as well...

Mr.Hiatus · « **Reply #15 on:** August 27, 2010, 12:33:04 PM »

I put my deck out, d/c pile on my left of the draw pile. All forts/unused sites/artifact pile go in a vertical line that is perpendicular to my deck. The heroes go in front, EC's behind them, occupied sites and land of bondage under that. Set aside's to the side, land of redemption clearly out of the way. Sometimes I put an important fortress in my territory, such as a protect fort so I know not to d/c the ones being protected.

uthminister [BR] · « **Reply #16 on:** August 27, 2010, 12:48:10 PM »

So there is a clear division between the top one I posted (original layout on rule cards) and the bottom one I posted (CA style or at least my version of it)...
What are the pros and cons of the two styles?

Pros for Original:
I like the straight lines and organization it creates.

Cons for Original:

Pros for CA style:
I like the fact that your evil lines up with your opponents good.
I like that you don't have to move cards over other cards to push into battle.

Cons for CA style:

I use basically the layout that RTS suggests, with my Evil Forts lined up with my EC's and my Good Forts lined up with my GC's. Temples next to Art Pile. In a physical game, the other three areas look like this to the right of the Hero/EC/LoB setup:

LoR
Deck
Discard

Prof Underwood · « **Reply #18 on:** August 27, 2010, 01:28:50 PM »

I use something similar to RDT's and Travis' 1st layout.

Redeemed Souls (turned sideways) Temple/Artifact Pile Good Forts Good characters
Discard Pile Draw Pile Evil Forts Evil Characters
Extra Sites Lost Souls Set Aside

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #19 on:** August 27, 2010, 01:29:55 PM »

I agree nothing should EVER go behind the deck with the exception of the removed from game pile. I know I mentioned that on the other thread.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #20 on:** August 27, 2010, 01:34:56 PM »

Right, my removed from game pile is face down, underneath my discard.

uthminister [BR] · « **Reply #21 on:** August 27, 2010, 01:53:29 PM »

Alright, so I know I will change that part of my layout putting nothing behind the deck...

i don't like doing that because i always forget they are there at the end of the game and thay are face-up for the next game.

JSB23 · « **Reply #23 on:** August 27, 2010, 05:44:44 PM »

I use the same set up as RDT

drb1200 · « **Reply #24 on:** August 27, 2010, 09:14:34 PM »

I use my own set up. It looks sort of like this...

Arts/Forts/etc.
Heroes Deck Discard Pile/Removal Set aside
Evil Characters Lost Souls
