Aren't territories dimensions?

Overtaken in pieces? I thought one territory is one territory.
Each small territory can be assimilated into a larger territory.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
But if they could get it in one fell swoop, since they only have to challenge two Tier Fours, wouldn't they want to go for big territories owned by two beings?
Territories are often large because they can be defended by capable parties. Small territories can be overtaken in pieces.

I dunno. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me to have more than one territory. What arrangements of dimensions are strategic in this way you’ve said?
It can discourage conquering parties from targeting your territory due to its size.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
Hmm, well, I can see some benefit in a kind of spoke-wheel pattern. But if those crazies with the inter dimensional missiles gun for one of my territories, especially one that’s not as advanced as my own, all those people are now my responsibility. I guess that’s the hero life, but why risk lives by claiming territories as a small party and expose them to the fire of larger parties?
How you handle internal affairs is outside of the scope of this agreement.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
But I already have to engage in conflict directly to protect the territories you give me, and I have to engage in conflict directly to take other territories for you.
Many territories remain unclaimed. You can decrease the likelihood of conflict by changing the strategic layout of territories around your dimension.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
What I’m hearing is that, in the end, I have to acquire as many territories as I would have on my own—but these, to hand to your friends. This only makes sense to me if the territories I want are really difficult for me to get on my own, and if I know of a bunch of easier territories to get elsewhere. Or, if I trust your friends enough to protect me once I give all my territories back to them, plus one more.
It also serves as a proxy to prevent you from engaging in conflict directly and expands the scope of your control. In addition, many beings are seeking to expand to adjacent territories in order to meet the requirements to control the System. That offers strategic advantages to you to protect your dimension.

Don’t I have to defend the territories your friends acquire for me?
They are your responsibility, yes.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
But eventually, I return all those extra territories to your friends, plus one more or so?
<Snipped quote by Fractured>
Just—memories I don’t want to think about. You don’t have to worry.

Sup.
Not necessarily. Any territory will suffice.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
Does claiming surrounding territory produce a more manageable perimeter?
Yes. It provides a buffer and gives you additional insight into the conditions of surrounding Existence.
