Expanding a village claim

[FictionRyu]

Basically what the title says. Besides the obvious answers, how exactly does the expansion process work? Does the banner have to be built on pre-existing claimed land (village claimed) ? Or can it be built off of the claim to where the 61x61 area overlaps by at least one column or row on the pre-existing claim?

I imagine you take a hit to your village authority but I suppose it could be done

if you're building underneath in the mines/cavern, you can use existing aboveground coverage to put them down

such as putting 4 banners under your vidol with no overlap on mine level 1. vidol is 101x101 i think, banners are 61x61 i think as well

you can also destroy your own banners without worrying about the claim shield (idk if authority is hit more than the 5k the idol adds)
