Founding a settlement too close to water will fail. Each homestead's token must be placed a certain distance from tiles submersed in water. In the case of a size 5 Homestead, there must be no water tiles in a radius of 2 tiles from the center of the deed. This means that a 5x5 square should be at the center of where you plan to deed.
'''Tip:''' You can test whether you are able to plant a deed at your current location simply by trying to found it. If the box that allows you to set the deed's name pops up, then you are in a deedable spot and can safely cancel the box without using up the deed. If you are too close to another deed, you will get an error message in the event window.
