Ok, well I've been playing for a week and a half and I already have 1080 m2. My issue really was that I desperately need to start working on my fence, and I'm not sure how easy that is to adjust later. So I didn't know whether to just fence what I've got, or wait until I have more silver to fence, or just fence the area I want and claim it all later. If that makes sense.
But it looks as though maybe I've got enough land to start with, so maybe I'll just fence that. Thanks
