What should i look for when acuqiring new land?

[Holion]

recently learned that you can buy land deeds to acquire new land,
what type of stuff should i consider when getting new land?

Also, is there any benefit getting land from snow regions?

The levels of area is based on how far away from settlements, so I think the main benefit is positioning next to your cities and such.

I like paying attention to the potential Land Feats that tile has.

You can see which three potential feats in the upper left when you're on an unowned tile.
The first feat you see is always related to the tile type (i.e. Plains, Snow, Beach, etc) but the last 2 are randomized. (i think, upon first entering the tile)

The land feats you can get can really help shape what that potential settlement can do.
Location-related Land Feats especially, like a Forest tile has the highest population limit, a Beach tile comes with bonus tourism attraction and a chance for extra catches when Fishing.

Random feats like Fishing Spot (more chance for extra when Fishing, stacking with Beach/Sea Land Feat), or Fertile (more fertility), or Basin (more Admin points).
Check out all the potential ones over on the wiki: https://ylvapedia.wiki/wiki/Elin:Land_Feats

If a tile is really far away from a road, it can have a high Danger Level, which determines the level of monsters that can randomly show up.
But, you can always buy and use a Relocation Deed after the fact to move whatever tile you claim somewhere else, which will adjust its Danger Level accordingly.
