### Level 1: Homestead

*We want there to be a clear divide between one man towns or friendship towns (towns only inhabited by a small circle of friends), and actual settlements that should be respected and recognised as such. For this reason, all lands start as ‘Homesteads’, a fitting term for one man towns and tiny hamlet like towns inhabited by a small group of friends.*

&#x20;*A village is the first real foray into having to manage and maintain a town’s activity . The requirement is rather simple,  This means 5 players , but more than likely the town is going to need more members than that to keep it above the threshold. This also the minimum level needed to create a nation, a major milestone and political move which should be backed by actual potential, proven by the land owner’s ability to make it this far.*
