Gentlemen
I was hoping to get peoples take/opinion on the use of overlays for certain situations.
I have a scenario using board 19, it has a open crossroads and I "designed" a small village around it, about 4 to 5 building overlays and some small orchards, etc.
IMO this makes for a nice "non-standard" village (Almost like a farm compound) and spices up a open board, but I am hesitant as the use of more than 1 or 2 overlays in a scenario seems to have developed a bad rep over the years. I get it if a bunch are used and more or less scattered all over a map or maps, but do you think this applies to the situation I described above?
Just an FYI, I am not opposed to using 1 or 2 in my designs and have, this seems pretty standard and accepted.
Thanks!!
