3. NATURAL RESOURCES:

TIMBER: A SUSTAINABLE SOURCE OF WOOD FOR CONSTRUCTION, FUEL, AND CRAFTING TOOLS IS IMPORTANT. STONE OR CLAY DEPOSITS: THESE RESOURCES COULD BE UTILIZED FOR BUILDING MATERIALS, POTTERY, AND OTHER ESSENTIAL ITEMS.

4. DEFENSIBILITY:

NATURAL BARRIERS: FEATURES LIKE CLIFFS, RIVERS, OR DENSE FORESTS CAN PROVIDE NATURAL PROTECTION AND LIMIT ACCESS POINTS, MAKING THE COMMUNITY EASIER TO DEFEND.

ELEVATED POSITION: A HILLTOP LOCATION OFFERS BETTER VISIBILITY FOR SPOTTING POTENTIAL THREATS AND MAKES IT HARDER FOR INTRUDERS TO APPROACH UNDETECTED.

5. CLIMATE AND WEATHER:

TEMPERATE CLIMATE: EXTREME TEMPERATURES OR PROLONGED DROUGHTS CAN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT AGRICULTURE AND OVERALL LIVING CONDITIONS. A TEMPERATE CLIMATE WITH MODERATE RAINFALL IS PREFERABLE.

LOW RISK OF NATURAL DISASTERS: AREAS PRONE TO HURRICANES, FLOODS, EARTHQUAKES, OR WILDFIRES SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
