I think the idea is this:
Lets consider a city on an impossible square 0,0. Lets say there is a square at 5,0 that is interesting, perhaps a 25 food square. If another player were to settle at 10,0 it would be possible they might claim this square as their own. It is in the best interest of everyone to follow the 10 squares belongs to me rule and if you would like to be within that region talk to me or risk problems. I believe that there is nothing wrong with this approach. It basically says outside of 10 squares I don't care. Inside of 10 talk to me first to make sure it is ok. Is everyone so against diplomacy?

Well, that cannot work for two towns with a distance less than 10, where the overlapping radius 5 circles contain an economically interesting square.  

But I think that the older town has weeks or months to claim this square as sov before the newer town, and therefore a general 10 square claim is unnecessary.  For starters there might be no economically interesting square within range of both older and newer town.  And even if there is an interesting square the older town should be able to claim it first, with extreme prejudice.

Hm, when I counted it some days ago I arrived at 80 squares, somebody please post a picture.Tongue

If you consider that each town could claim squares 5 away from itself then you easily arrive at the idea that the towns should be 10 squares apart to avoid crossing over claims....

Okay, so we aren't even sure what is meant by "10 squares"?
