@grisaia We haven't been told the rewards for owning land or controlling a city but it was mentioned that we could charge for residential plots (for housing) and taxes of those plots, there was some other things but I don't remember them well enough. The search bar should be able to find it. It seems like a settlement can be upgraded to a village then upgraded to a city then to a fort or similar, maybe even a full on capital city. People might want to siege it and own it.
