A settlement is an area of land owned by a player or group of players. There are two kinds of settlements, [[village]]s and [[homestead]]s. A settlement is marked by a [[settlement token]] in the exact center of the settlement.
== Advantages, summary ==
* Spirit guards protecting the settlement
* Reduced decay on structures
* Village chat (not for homesteads, unless you're schizophrenic)
* Respawn at your settlement when you die
* Control of who is allowed which actions within the settlement area
* Setting reputations to keep out unwanted people
* A settlement token to have your [[bank]] account at
* Instant logout when leaving the game inside the settlement (some exception apply)
* [[Champion]]s suiciding on a deed get a 50% chance of not counting as a real death
== Founding ==
To found a settlement you must first obtain a [[deed]]. Unlike [[writ]]s, which are created by building a house, deeds must be purchased from a [[NPC]] trader. Village deeds at size 10 or more include a free [[trader]]. The price of a village deed is '''(size/10)^2''' silver. A size 5 homestead deed costs 5 silver, other sizes currently cost the same as a village.
New settlements have some restrictions on placement. Villages must be placed at least 100 tiles away from the nearest settlement. Homesteads must be placed at least 20 tiles away from settlements with the '''other villages''' permission enabled, and 100 tiles away if it is disabled. Settlements can only be founded within your kingdom. On the [[wild server]], this might require building [[guard tower]]s.
The settlement is centered on the settlement token, and covers its size in tiles in every direction. A size 10 settlement thus covers a 21x21 square (10 + 1 + 10). This area includes the tile borders "outside" the outermost tiles.
== Citizens ==
A homestead can only have one citizen. A village can have many, the exact number depending on the size. Making someone a citizen of a village requires the '''citizens''' permission. If the village is a dictatorship, the mayor can also remove citizens. Citizens of a democracy cannot be removed, they must leave on their own volition.
All settlement have a mayor. The initial mayor is the founder of the settlement. Villages can elect a new mayor by a successful vote. It requires 51% of the votes if the village is a democracy, 81% if it is a dictatorship.
Each citizen is assigned a role determining which actions are allowed inside the settlement. Customizing, adding and removing roles requires the '''manage roles''' permission.
== Guards and upkeep ==
Settlements are automatically protected by [[spirit guard]]s. Guards can be light, medium or heavy. Changing the guard level requires the '''hire guards''' permission. If the guard level is decreased, it cannot be increased again until a week has passed.
Guards will attack aggressive monsters that enter the settlement area, as well as any character with -30 or lower reputation. Negative reputation is automatically when stealing and otherwise breaking the settlement rules. Citizens with the '''manage roles''' permission can also set reputations manually.
Guards demand payment. This payment is calculated as a percentage of the deed price. One month with light guards costs 10% of the deed price. Medium guards cost 31%, and heavy guards 56%. Two months with medium guards on a size 10 village thus costs 2 * (1g * 31%) = 62 silver. Note that the payment happens continuously in small increments, not one big payment once a month.
Every settlement has an upkeep fund, which guards take their payment from. Anyone can donate money to the fund, even non-citizens. If the upkeep fund is depleted the settlement is disbanded automatically. A large upkeep fund reduces decay on buildings and fences in the settlement. If the fund has more than a month of upkeep there is no decay at all.
== Permissions ==
Each role can have a different set of permissions enabled. There are no known permissions that control butchering and burying.
; Build : Plan, color and continue buildings and fences <br> Also allows lockpicking
; Forestry : Chopping down trees, picking sprouts, planting sprouts
; Destroy buildings : Destroying buildings, building plans, fences and fence plans <br> Also allows lockpicking
; Farm : Sowing, farming and harvesting fields <br> Also allows milking and leading animals
; Hire guards : Changing guard level
; Citizens : Making non-citizens into citizens
; Manage roles : Change role permissions and role assignments, change reputations <br> Also allows disbanding the settlement
; Mine : Mining
; Terraform : Dig, pack, pave and flatten
; Expand : Expand the settlement with a larger deed
; Pass fences : Passing through all fences, even locked ones
; Lock fences : Locking fences
; Attack citizen : Attacking citizens
; Attack non-citizen : Attacking non-citizens
; Diplomat : Form alliances, declare war, make peace
; DELETE : This permission will delete the role if set
There are two additional permissions, which are not linked to roles
; Other villages : This allows new homesteads to be placed within 20 tiles of this settlement, rather than the normal 100. Once a homestead has been placed, disabling this permission will not affect it.
; Items and creatures : This allows _anyone_ to pick up items and tame animals within the settlement (but not inside buildings).
== Details ==
Guard columns are upkeep per month.
