Agree, I’ve posted a couple suggestion topics on using Flags for claims.
The jist of my suggestion is, medium and large-sized clans can extend their claim radius through flags, as well as foundations as usual. Flags have the benefit of giving claim over an expansive area, but also have the vulnerability of being able to be captured and dismantled for resources.
