Another terminology clarification: Kingdom?

[irrevenant]

What does "kingdom" mean. Is it:
(a) The entirety of the creatures on the table, or
(b) The entirety of a particular player's creatures on a table?

ie. is the entire game taking place in 'the kingdom' or does each player have their own "kingdom"?

I think it's b, but that means that "There are cards that have a global span and that do affects all of the Kingdom - both the North & South," implies that card effects are restricted to within a particular kingdom. Is that the case?

Thanks.

Kingdom is equal to both of your own two fronts.

The word is probably excessive and of no use, I'm thinking about removing it unless there's an apparent functional use.

Okay, thanks.

I'm just going to tweak the wiki to make this terminology a little bit clearer.

P.S. for now I'm using the term "Kingdom span" to mean "affecting both fronts in your own kingdom" and "global span" to mean "affecting both fronts in everyone's kingdom". I may also use the term "global north front" and "global south front" if it comes up.

[EDIT] Apologies, I've just noticed this is a dev-only area. Please revert any of the changes I made to http://chaosrealm.net/wtactics/wiki/ind ... uick_Rules if you disagree with them.

The kingdom is each players "half" of the table.

The fronts are all connected, so there is really not your front or his front. There is only front A and front B, which are all shared by all players, always.

When the text says "in your front" it only means that you place the ćard at your side of the table and that it only affects stuff under your control in that specific front (A or B). With other words, the whole terminology ís bad from the start since your/his front will be misleading.

Using terminology like "x span" and "y span" should be avoided, it's made up of two words each and should rather be made up of one instead if possible.

This all needs some heavy cleaning up and standardization eventually.

Hmm. While I see your point, when the second word is a modifier, it can be a lot clearer than defining a bunch of individual terms.

As an (exaggerated) example, it's a lot simpler to say "affects creatures", "affects the north front", "affects the player's kingdom", "affects the entire world*" and reuse the word "affects" rather than coin a bunch of words like "individuated", "northwise", "kingdomaneous", "global".

I agree that the word "span" is kind of awkward tho. It might be nice to just have a "Scope: " bit on the card that directly says who's affected.

* Yeah, that's the exception. I think we could use a word that means "everyone's kingdoms put together".
