Village Claim effective banner placement.

[GhostOfZed]

So i want to lay out our village claim to max space per banner. I will destroy banners when needed. If I put a banner on the southern face of the original claim, would I just have to put a banner on that banners southern claim, then destroy the old one? I'm really tired, and for some reason I think that i should plant the banner one square north of the southern face, so it crosses over on to the original claim. True or am I crazy? Kind of like a village claim bridge, that some higher tier villages use for quality resources or hearthvaults.

Put faux banner sign down
Count 20 tiles in every direction from it (not including original tile), wherever it ends is the end of the tile.

For example:

Crudely drawn, but I think it should show the general idea. Blue is where banners go, this is how you should do it when expanding to get the most out of your space, or so I've seen, the corners handle the offset, there are a few times when a river will be in the way, just get as close to the corner as possible, a corner will allow most of the new banner's coverage to fall outside the original's range.

In your example of already having area claimed where you're going, it's up to you, but the banner only needs to cover what tile it's on, not go one tile back. If you're looking at breaking old banners for the least banners overall coverage, I'd advise against it, there is no reason to break banners, they provide you with authority, which it's always nice to have more of, and the more banners you have the higher your Days:Authority ratio lasts until it hits a certain point.

Okay thanks DoG.

I guess I'm tired too, I did all of that but I'm not sure I fully answered the question:
You can do it exactly where the claim ends, no need to do it 1 tile up. (If you do it exactly where the claim ends, since the banners are the same distance from each other it will cover where the old banner was, which was one tile INTO the original claim already)
