Territory

Territory is the range of the map which you own. It defines the area in which buildings can be constructed and zones painted, and within which villagers can work. Territories are shaped and sized differently based on the natural terrain and the resources available in that territory.

Abandoning a territory

You can't abandon your starting territory

On starting a new game, the player must select a starting territory. The player can only choose from territories that have the necessary starting resources (berries and stone) available. The selected territory will effectively become the 'centre' of the village.

You can't abandon a territory if that would leave two disconnected pieces of territory

The player purchases new territories in the territory menu, which is accessed by clicking the Territories button in the HUD. New territories cost 100 gold coins, and must be adjacent to a currently owned territory. For each territory owned there is an upkeep cost that must be paid monthly and rises per new territory as the village becomes bigger.

Choosing a starting territory on a fresh save

The player can also abandon territories in the territory menu to reduce upkeep costs. Be aware that this destroys all buildings placed in that territory. The player can't abandon territories in a way that would split owned territory into multiple parts, nor can they abandon their starting territory.
