It just seems like a lot all at once. Especially right next to my planned capital. I'm glad to see you expanding, and what you have said is true about the biomes but I worry about the closeness, I had hoped to have a larger area around my capital and around that sea. I'm not 100% set on the lands you are claiming I'm just stating that we should discuss this first.
How large do you want? As others said before me, those biomes are not 'small'. They are large biomes, as with the rest of the map, and span AT LEAST 5K blocks. If that's not large I don't know what is.

I would love to Mark, but I can't exactly create a map right now. I have many builds and villages, and I didn't state I was expanding right now but rather that I had hoped in the future to expand. Not really sure what you have to do with the land claims but thanks for asking! I should also mention that me and Haedren have in the past worked together on expansion claims before releasing them as to have a diplomatic, fair and agreeable system. We should definitely work on that together Darius! Maybe even alongside Haedren as I know he pretty close by too!
My expansion to the NW was this one time situation, which I established in Lore with reasons at least a week ago. I don't see anneed to work on any expansion plans with Kaine in the near future as I won't be expanding anywhere near Kaine again, probably.

Gimpy is thinking ahead in the future where he may wish to expand to, not in the short Term. Also do we have precedence for claiming more than one new county at a time? For clarity's sake.
I think that there's reasonable grounds for Gimpy to be questioning it, when reaching north towards Kaine is just one of several directions that Darius Stark can claim land from. There are all of the other areas surrounding Laghima that are farther away from populated areas that could be considered as well.
I disagree with the reason that I have to expand in other places that are simply farther away because they exist farther away. I established the lore behind the claim (The thread titled The Vulcite Encounters) and there is a sea that separates most of the claim while mountain biomes, another smaller desert, and a plains biomes or two, all separate the overland routes.
While I understand you feel threatened, there is no need to Gimpy. I don't want to expand near Kaine again in such a dramatic matter and the next claim I submit will be in the South East/general East. Your capital will remain as isolated as it is, but I do have intentions to actually build in all of my claims and I will do so in the coming days.
