Planning my base, I have a horizontal and vertical stake, from what I understand if I place a vertical stake it will add space up and down on all owned tiles which looks like it could be problematic here because if I want to build up, but horizontally I am over this road, its going to block me isn't it?

I think the solution is if I build the main fief control panel back, add a stake towards the road but not into the road, then when I build up/down I wont hit the road and wont have to reset the entire base from scratch.

I wish we could reclaim stakes, this would have been fine but 15k each is a lot even at mid/late game.
