Changes

Making your own deed allows you to choose what size deed you want, and exactly what you want to do with it. You can choose to live alone, or find others to live on your deed with you. Both [[Account Typestypes|premium]] and free to play characters can found a deed, but only a premium character can invite people as villagers to their deed. To found a deed, you can use a [[deed stake]] (or make one), choose a non deeded area of land, and place the deed stake. You will need a minimum of 4 silver, 21 copper in your bank to found a minimum sized deed. This will give you an 11 x 11 deed, with a five tile perimeter, and put three months upkeep in the coffers. A [[Settlement token|deed token]] can not be placed in a house or a mine. The deed token lets you control permissions, manage your settlement, and acts as a bank.

Not having a deed can be dangerous, as although your buildings cannot be destroyed, fences can be. [[Animals|MobsCreatures]] can spawn on undeeded tiles, so one way to protect yourself is to have a [[guard tower]], which will spawn up to 5 guards, depending on the quality of the tower. If the guard tower is rare, you will have 6 guards. Without a deed, you will be unable to brand your animals, so they are at risk of being taken or killed. Buildings and items that are not on a deed will take regular damage, and bulk containers will lose 5% volume per month. Without a deed, if you die, you will need to respawn at a starter village and make your way back to your settlement.
