The landgrab and tribes needing a clear 220m radius, oh wait someone ran in and dropped a homestead 200m away I guess you can't have your tribe here anymore sorry. I guess the Exalted Empire of the Noble Eagles (hope thats not a real tribe name) will have to look elsewhere because "LOLUHAVEAIDS" wanted his totem in the middle of that junk pile.
If someone gets attacked and they run to their tribe/homestead... both are protected equally right now. So much for "fending" for themselves.
Oh and when they run out of resources? Guess who can pick up shop and go elsewhere? that's right, the solo player.
As a per player resource claim, the homestead is more efficient than any one tribe. 1player, 30m radius (20m now?) even with the lower estimate of 20m, if that puts tribes with 20 people, the bare minimum at 220m.... which is equal to 11 homesteads. Sorry tribes, solo wins again!
Until there is siege... until there are no safe zones... until there is a meaningful reason to be in a tribe the homestead wins on every front. And all this is because siege and defense is not in yet, so they had to protect people and "coded it fair". Well everyone is protected, but the soloers are taking this game to the bank.
**edit** I even forgot about the homestead's radius, so forget 200m away, that homestead could've been dropped 230m away, your tribe is still screwed.
