Zone of influence

from Stardock Forums

Why does an outpost have a zone of influence 2 squares radius around it when established, but when a settlement is established it only controls a zone one square around it, until it grows?  Surely they should both start with the same zone of influence or is an outpost>settlement when first established?

Good question.

I think it's because otherwise an outpost would be useless - if it only controlled one square radius which never changed then there'd be a lot more outpost spamming than there is already! =)  But maybe it doesn't need this if they introduce some way the outpost could upgrade after it is created (including expanding zone of control radius).
