Settlements are areas of habitation created by players. The can take many forms, among others ports, villages, towns, cities, ghettos, etc. A settlement is different from a base in that it is a center of commerce, culture and expansion. Typically, a settlement will encompass a number of buildings and a system of streets. The average settlement needn't necessarily house more than one player.

== Town Status==
The title of "town" is reserved for settlements with a certain level of prestige. To be upgraded to official town status, it is necessary to the meet the following requirements:
* The applicant settlement must be listed on the official [http://piratemc.com/groups/settlements/forum/topic/application-for-town-status/ settlements thread] on the PirateCraft forums.
* It must possess one Town Hall.
* There must be walkways/roads/paths connecting all builds.
* There must be one beacon present.
* A town must have shops selling at least 50 stocked wares OR it must have an arena.
* Building architecture should follow similar themes and each building should feature characteristics of that building, i.e a church wouldn’t just be a square box with a sign on the front saying “Church”.
* Buildings cannot be hollow shells. Houses need to have furnished rooms.
* Five more buildings of different types are required. Some ideas:
** Blacksmith
** Farm(s)
** Central square
** Arena
** Stables
** Tavern
** Prison
** Church/Temple
** Port (if coastal)
** Lighthouse (if coastal)
** Train station with railway leading to a landmark
** Storage
** Public mine
** Trade market(s)
** Rental properties (sub claimed real estate)
** Bank
** Defensive structures and infrastructure such as walls/moats/bridges/etc.
