 ==== Minimal Configuration 2 (Suggested) ====
-Costs the most initially, but you gain even more tiles by adding one to one of the directions, which puts the monthly upkeep slightly over 1s at 1s 1c 20i.  For the 3 month upkeep cost upfront the 1s 1c 20i is rounded down to 1s (because it is below a certain unknown threshold), but subsequent monthly upkeep for the settlement will be the actual 1s 1c 20i.

 ===== Things To Know =====
+* All deeds get a free 5 tile perimeter.
 * Decay sets in when upkeep drops below 30 days (Mythmoor).
-* The settlement guard setting defaults to 1.  If you do not set guards to zero when deeding, you will be charged 2s per guard to purchase them and 1s per guard after.  Instead, find a place that already has a guard tower, or build one.  Note that tower guards on Plains and Northlands are not strong enough for high end mobs.
+* The settlement guard setting defaults to 1.  If you do not set guards to 0 when deeding, you will be charged 2s per guard to purchase them and 1s per guard after.  Settlement guards are not necessary on the Prime map. Find a place that already has a guard tower, or build one.  Tower guards are not strong enough to kill high end mobs on Plains and Northlands, neither are settlement guards, but they can still be useful for offloading mob aggro during the fight, or to escape.
