Feel the same way. I still try grouping things together, but gave up caring how they look. That’s why those 6 unopened plots of land big me so much, I could actually design my kingdom better if they were open.
As far as matching them to parts of the kingdom, I like to switch them around and make up my own park. Granted we don’t have enough land to successfully do that.
I think I’ll move my Pirate stuff onto the first plot(s) of land we got on the game. For some reason I like to put the buildings that collect items there. Since I see that plot of land every time I launch the app, it’s easier to collect those items.
