Remove or Shorten Claim Buffer

[Cozmic]

This is a plea to either remove or shorten the claim buffer. Right now, there's a whopping 5 tiles that claims have to be apart from another claim, friend or foe. I can't see why there has to be such a large buffer space between claims. I believe that this space would be better off being used, especially in a village environment. If it's some sort of in-between walking space we're worried about for other players, 2 spaces should be fine enough. But as long as two claims don't overlap, is there really a problem?
