How To Implement Access to Tiles Within the 4th and 5th Ring

[sTAPler27]

-Hamlet

• New improvement built on top of Rural Land Tiles
• Allows you to grow to tiles within a 2 tile radius of it
• These tiles can be worked
• Tiles worked here provide less happiness (to represent the empire being stretched thin)
• Adds distance to trade routes
• cannot be built adjacent to another Hamlet

-Ferry Dock

• Can be built on Rural Coast Tiles Adjacent to Land or Navigable Rivers
• Allows you to build another Ferry Dock tile adjacent to a piece of land that can claim tiles outside that range
• Provides gold
• Increases trade route range but less so than the Hamlet
• Can be build adjacent to a Hamlet but their tile increase doesn't stack

if a 4th age is ever added this Would be the natural evolution of the mechanic

-Seastead

• Functions essentially like a Hamlet of the Sea

I know the Town system kind of exists for this reason but there are instances where it's not even worth it to build a Town. It would also make low settlement builds a lot more possible.
