* Only villagers with the manage roles, or the mayor themself may disband. Any citizen can stop the disbanding process.
* Allies have their own deed role.
→Founding: Clarification, I hope!
== Description ==
A [[settlement]], or deed, is an area of land owned by a player or group of players: a [[mayor]] and [[citizen]]s (if any). A settlement is marked by a [[settlement token]] on an outdoor tile somewhere within its borders. You receive a settlement deed form in your inventory (that is no-drop) when you deed a settlement.
The mayor is the most important citizen of a settlement.
A deed has a rectangular form. One edge of the deed can not be longer than four times the other edge. Minimum size is 5.
Example: Settlement size east 5 west 5 and north 6 south 6 will create a deed 11 tiles by 13 tiles. You could not make a deed of 11 tiles by 45 tiles as that would make one side be more than 4 times larger than the other. To visualize the area better, make use of the Survey Area button in the forms that places temporary survey markers at the planned borders.
===Notes===
*Free players can plant a deed, but won't be able to invite other players using /vinvite 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.
*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, you need at least one full tile 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.
*A token must be placed at least two tiles second tile away from tiles submersed in water(center tile of 3x3 island is enough).
*A token cannot be inside a cave, or a house.
*Aggressive animals, on what will become the deed, prevent planting of the deed; kill or lead them away first. Creatures in the future perimeter do not count.
*The mayor can destroy any building on deed, even if he/she does not have permissions to that building.
*You may not plant a deed on [[Holy Ground]].
*When founding a deed, it will add 3 silver to the cost of founding, and apply that to upkeep.
'''Tip:''' You can test whether you are able to plant a deed at your current location simply by trying to found it.
* A deed may be disbanded. If manually disbanded, the owner receives all of settlement coffer money back. The owner will receive nothing back if the deed is disbanded due to lack of upkeep. The money is placed in the former owner's bank account. It is believed this money comes direct from the King; reasonable since deed money goes direct to the King.
* Only people with the '''manage roles''' permission, or the mayor, may disband the settlement; citizens can stop a disbandvia the option at the token.
* Disbanding a settlement takes 24 real hours. If set to disband immediately, it will take 1 hour.
* If you remove all villagers and resize the deed to smallest size before disbanding, disbanding will take 1 real hour.
* When disbanding, all branded animals lose their branding.
== Mayor ==
All settlements have a mayor. The initial mayor is the founder of the settlement. At any given time, the mayor is the one who holds the deed. Mayors Mayor and villagers get a bonus to bashing structures on deed. Mayors can pass through locked gates.
Trading the deed makes the new owner of the deed the mayor. A player must have premium time to take over the ownership of a deed.
''Note: Vote command gives the confirmation message: "You vote for Name as mayor this week.", so possibly the mayor can only be changed once per week, regardless of the number of elections?''
== Citizens ==
Settlements can be protected by [[Spirit templar]]s. Hiring or releasing templars requires the ''Hire guards'' permission.
Spirit templars will attack any aggressive [[creaturecreatures]]s that enter the settlement area, but not the perimeter. Unlike [[tower guard]]s, they do not respond to calls for help.
They will also attack anyone who is marked as Kill on Sight for that deed. ''(See [[KoS]] and [[Reputation]] for details)''.
== Upkeep / Coffers ==
Upkeep money is taken from the village funds every 8 real-life minutes. If the upkeep fund is depleted, the settlement is disbanded automatically. A large upkeep fund reduces decay on buildings and [[fence]]s in the settlement. If the fund has more than a month of upkeep, there is no decay at all. Upkeep can be paid at the token under Settlement > Info or Settlement > Manage guardsAdd to upkeep, or from the Settlement deed paper under Village Settlement > Manage guardsAdd to upkeep. Anyone can donate money to the upkeep fund at the token, even non-citizens. '''There is a minimum 1 silver cost per month for upkeep. For purposes of upkeep, a month is 30 days."12x12x9x10" and "32x5x5x7" are examples that would fit this limit, if you are not sure how much a deed size will cost you can use [https://warlander.github.io/Wurm-Toolbox/#deed-calc Warlander´s deed Calculator]'''
