I did the 1 x 5 because in my specific situation, it gave extra spacing to put homesteads away from my red area of mine. If u want, you can do 1 x 4 for more compact build as well. Minimum 4 tiles are necessary (counting the home tile as well), so the game needs minimum 1 x 3, I did 1 x 5 as i focused my kingdom building accordingly.
Is there a reason to do 1x5 instead of 1x4? Or is it for aesthetics?
