 This page is a work in progress. It is trying to define the status/state/behavior of settlements without overloaded terms or any design change.
Note: All definitions are written with respect to the point of view of a Side/Player. Each Side in a Campaign applies these rules from its own point of view.

May not be attacked. May be entered. At the end of its Activation an Army may place a control marker in an Uncontrolled Welcoming Settlement in its
Welcoming
hex. Razed Welcoming Settlements may be rebuilt by an Army as an Action + 2g

Hostile May be Attacked, Looted, Razed according to the rules for those activities. May change Control if an Attack is successful.

Allied Welcoming to the Side with which they are Allied. Player Controlled Allied Settlements may deny entry to Friendly Armies

Loyalty is to the Kingdom determined by Crest Markings. Loyalty does not change. Friendly Control Markers can not be placed on Loyal Settlements
Loyal
Loyal Settlements without an Enemy Control Marker are considered to be both Friendly and Controlled by their Kingdom. Always Welcoming.

Neutral Settlements without Loyalty Crest Markings. Posture determined by the scenario.

Friendly Controlled Settlements, Allied Settlements, Kingdom’s Armies, Allied Kingdoms’ Armies. May not be attacked.

Enemy All Hostile Settlements and opposing Kingdoms’ Armies. Enemies may be attacked.

The combination of Hostile Settlements with a Control Maker and Loyal Settlements without an Enemy Control Marker. Controlled Settlements are
Controlled
Welcoming. (Enemy Controlled Welcoming Settlements are Hostile and may be attacked (recaptured…) )

Uncontrolled Any Settlement that is not Loyal and has no Control Marker. May be Welcoming or Hostile.

Razed Treat as though there were no Settlement in the hex except that a Welcoming Settlement may be rebuilt by an Army in the hex as an Action + 2g
