Compared to other types of initial territories, islands have a somewhat unremarkable feature: resource balance.
Other kinds of territories generally have more singular resources. For example, the main resource in mountainous areas is stone, and in forests, it's wood, often with few or even no other resources.
Islands are different, with a very balanced distribution of resources. They have wood and stone, and by the seaside, one can even fish. With a bit of luck, you might even discover a mine.
Of course, this balance also has its drawbacks. The quantities of resources are smaller, and it's difficult to extract rare resources. Whether this is good or bad depends on how the lord develops the territory.
Initial territories are limited in size, only about two or three square kilometers, and Xu Yang quickly got a clear picture of the situation.
