Does each claim count as +1 hold and its stated benefit? I see mixed signals.
The last sentence of the “Seizing A Claim” section on pg 7 makes me think that yes, you get 1 hold for every new claim, and some (like turf) grant additional hold on top of that.
However, the description of claims on pg 6 says “some claims are worth hold (1-4)” which might imply that only those claims that specifically list hold are worth any hold.
Still yet, under “Losing a Claim” it says you lose the benefits of that claim, but doesn’t mention losing 1 hold (like it does for the targeted faction when you seize a claim from them).
I am guessing each claim is worth just its stated benefit since (at least as I read it), you only need 8 hold for Tier 2, 12 for Tier 3, and 16 for Tier 4. I would maybe expect more like 6 times the next tier level rather than 4 times, since at 4 times, if the Thieves control every claim that grants hold (which would take a minimum of 10 scores without retaliation), they would have 17 hold, which is enough to be eligible for Tier 4 even without any Rep.
By the way, I made a mock-up claims map for Cult crews. I’ll try to post it after we use it in play tonight.
Poor editing on my part! I’m cleaning it up. Claims are worth the stated hold, not 1 by default.
6 times is a better ratio, yeah.
It did seem a little weird.
