'''Territory''' is the range of the map in which is owned by the village. It defines the area in which buildings can be constructed, zones defined and villagers can work within. A single territory is a hexagonal area of the map.
Maps in ''Foundation'' are divided into '''Territories''', which the player must purchase as the game progresses in order to expand their village. Only within owned territories can resources be harvested, buildings constructed and zones painted. Territories are shaped and sized differently based on the natural terrain and the resources available in that territory.
