Nothing has changed in mechanics of building a village. Material costs have changed (need any metal, i believe... it's not been updated on wiki that I'm seeing.) Only Banners can increase space (and authority). Statues only increase authority.
Only need one person to create a village claim. The 50k LP cost is split between party members as equally as possible, so if only one person is in a party (or only person with LP), then that one person pays all 50k.
With mechanics changes, there isn't a need for a village claim to protect you (the village cannot "revoke the privilege" unless the village claim over the land is older than the personal claim on the land), and it isn't useful for trading anymore.
I'm probably forgetting something. I'm not logged in right now, and it's late. There are other changes in the way villages work, but I think all the important ones for setting up a village have been hit.
