Settlements are locations viewed on either the third or fourth layer of the Middle-earth map; found on a region or area map (these are named places that may or may not have their own map). Entering these settlements in-game produces medium, yellow pop-up text (same as area) or small, white pop-up text (same as landmarks) that flashes on screen. Each settlement ranges from large cities to small camps.


Standard types of settlments based mostly on size and the amenities include:

City - the largest, most have a map (considered an area), plenty of services and auctioneer is often present.
Town - the next largest, can either show area and sometimes landmark pop-up text.
Village - smaller than a town, landmark style text, limited services.
Camp Settlement - the smallest encampment with very limited or no services available. *show blue settlement icon on map.


Militaristic / fortified / distinct atmosphere types include:

Castle - large with many buildings structures, obvious to tell a castle.
Fortress - smaller than a castle, more compact compound with walls surrounding it.
Outpost - smaller than a fortress, fewer services.
Farmstead - a large farm with several buildings.
