I worked out a match-up from the Village / Town / and City at each scale to the SRD Settlement sizes. At Barony scale, an Empire "Village" covers Thorp into Hamlet, while the Town and City are also still Hamlets. While Empire makes a distinction among the sizes, it does not map well to the SRD. At Kingdom scale, an Empire Village is equivalent to a Village in the SRD, an Empire Town is a Small Town, and an Empire City is a Large Town. At Empire scale, an Empire Village is a Small City, an empire Town is a Large City, and an Empire City is a Metropolis. I think, overall, I would have preferred a more generic Small / Medium / Large settlement in Empire, with a reference on the "Scale System" to indicate what they correspond to. This also makes, for the RPG side, the minimum settlement sizes for the upgrades look a bit silly. I can't put a Craftsman's Guild in the Village of X on Kingdom scale, but if we cut back to Barony scale the same place becomes a City and I can put one in ?The changing scale helps keep the numbers more easily managed, but I think it suffers a lot in other ways. I'd have preferred a consistent scale all the way through.</blockquote>
