*Free players can plant a deed, but won't be able to invite other players until they turn premium. This is because a character who has never been premium would be deleted if it becomes inactive for 90 days, and the deed would be disbanded when it runs out of upkeep. Free players cannot take over ownership of a pre-existing deed.
*You need to have management [[permissions]] of all buildings that fall within your new settlement area to be able to place a deed.
**''You can place a new deed's '''perimeter''' over existing buildings for which you don't own provided you do not touch a house wall with the actual deed area. In other words, but you need at least one two full tile tiles of perimeter between the edge of your deed and the edge of any building you do not own.
*Settlements can only be founded within your [[kingdom]]. On Chaos or the Epic servers, this might require building [[guard tower]]s.
*If the founding tile of the settlement has a house or fences, the token is moved to a random spot away from them. The deed borders do not move with it. You cannot build a house or fence on the token tile later on either, but [[terraforming]] is possible.
