You know whenever you start a new map, and in your toolbelt is a note from the duke. What's the point of the note? Usually, I just throw it on the ground and go on my way.
I have also been throwing that note away as soon as I start a new game. It might be relevant in future so it is still in but I am happy they removed the land claim block which I always also threw away.
At least when it was easy to make with stone lol. I never threw it away when it needed metal. I kept it for the forge.
