Rules on Settlement Building

[Touc]

as for placement, the settlement is intentionally central (not next to anyone's capital; lines below drawn from each nation's respective capital region's exits) and very purposefully put near a major resource (the mines); that's icly and it's doing what it's supposed to do ic, which is piss people off and grant delphina the (stealable) advantage of owning the mines's resources

[Map cut]

that said, it's also icly for aphros or vdalion to get really mad and and siege it to try and either raze it or alternatively claim it and its resources for themselves (free 150k settlement paid only in blood), and i look forward to that

if it were built in aphros' or vdalion's actual region that would be an issue, but atm its mostly just an ic issue that can and is being dealt with ic

That definitely doesn't look one screen away from Aphros, as Bog claimed. If that really is where it's been put (keeping in mind that I have the memory of a goldfish because I'm still memorising this map and everything on it), the problem swings the other way - why should Aphros have the ability to raze the town as if it were a 'neutral' town if it's that far away? Indeed, honestly, that doesn't even seem that far from Delphina.

I think we might be missing something here.
