Clan will only develop if you provide it with basic resources such as food or wood. In addition, you must also provide health care and satisfaction to the residents. It is also necessary to ensure the protection of your territory. In order to be able to influence a particular factor (except food) you must erect a suitable building, e. g. a Woodcutter's Lodge in order to harvest wood.
The problem is the limit of buildings that you can build in a certain area. Each area is constrained to have three buildings. However, you can increase this quantity by one for 100 Kröwns. It is therefore important to regularly enlarge the territory. In this way, there will be plenty of room for further construction. Discovering the areas that can be taken over requires the training of Scouts in a special building. Scouts will travel through sectors, discovering the map.
Choose territories that have raw materials such as stone. Occupation of a specific area costs a certain and growing number of food units. Therefore, do not buy every available piece of land. It is also important that it will only be possible to occupy the area if there are no enemies in it. So you must first eliminate the threat that is present in the targeted zone.
Each occupied piece of land is partially autonomous. The healer's services can be enjoyed by everyone and the scalds increase the satisfaction of the whole population. However, settlers will not cross the border of territories. You have to bring them down there, either as builders or to perform an appropriate function.
Therefore, while you are expanding your settlement, divide territories into different areas so that it all have certain functions. This will facilitate settlement management. The only exception to this rule is the extraction of stone and iron. Due to the fact that deposits are being depleted, miners are a quite mobile group. In each zone that has one of these two deposits, it is necessary to have the possibility of constructing an additional building in order to move the mine from another zone. For these zones, an option to increase the limit of the buildings is useful.
Also, remember that buildings can be improved. At first, it requires the City Hall to bo upgraded. Then each building will have this option. For a certain amount of raw materials, you will be able to increase your building's efficiency and increase the number of employees by 1.
