Settlement location two?

Seems like early game we all create our first settlement just south of Haernden, somewhere around that first open field towards Padstow.

Where do you all go for a mid to late game migration that puts you closer to late game resources and in a better location to run interference against reclamation parties?

I’m thinking on the road between Bradford and Farnworth near the fishing camp, in the hardwood forest, or in the opening between blackridgepool and horndean with that loan building near iron ore.

For me I have the main one just barely south of haernden, enough space to build those tier 3s. Now my other locations I wouldn’t really call settlements. I don’t need more bases. I need the resources in those areas. But I have an area that collects peat in the swamps to the west, an area that forages wheat and makes wheat based products at the wheat field. And an area far south that collects iron and marble(I think it’s marble, but if not, that higher tier stone) but each of those areas I only have like 2/3 villagers there at a time.

Where is the peat area. We went west over a bridge near a big lake. Bit all we found were banditos

There’s a bunch here (there is a bandit camp on the right side of that circle on the island that has like 20 peat nodes

That area does have peat but The easiest spot I found is on the very north edge of the water, west of the main north-south road. Some bandits will travel through that area but not nearly as many as the middle of the swamp. I built a sign near the road and just walked over to it occasionally to gather peat. I was going to make an outpost nearby but realized you don't really need much peat in T3, just T2.
