Settlement Proximity

10 squares? Really? I can understand not wanting someone within 1-4 squares to just pop up without mentioning it but 10? Come on now...While I'm not going to be settling too many more cities I'm not going to check the 99 squares around the spot to make sure there's no H? members around. I'll make sure I'm not grabbing that 19 food sov that's 2 squares from a H? member or any player for that matter but I'm not going to message them to see if I can settle and take the 19 food sov that's 10 squares away. 

H? has recently found itself increasingly involved in diplomatic discussions around city proximity.

While it seems as though most players are courteous enough to contact prospective new neighbors before they move or settle in their vicinity, we've also had to deal with folks who just don't think or even deliberately try to cause a problem.

To avoid future disappointment players who wish to move their cities or settle within 10 squares of an existing Harmless? city are advised to contact the player concerned and an H? diplomat/director before the move to discuss it and reach an agreement.

Thanks for your attention.
