Kingdoms Settlement Plots?
I purchased Kingdoms by Legendary games and I give it 5 stars. Does anyone else use this book that also comes in a mod file? How do you graphically plot your buildings and lots? How do you track settlements within your kingdom?

I'd suggest a hex map (IIRC it uses hexes) with suitable tokens. Not a battlemap but just a map for that purpose.
If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

I don't use it, but I image a hex map with tokens like Mr. Z says and then DOE Locations for the settlement details.

I use an excel spreadsheet with tabs for each settlement and then drew a crappy map in Campaign Cartographer. A copy of the excel is linked in that post. (mildly off topic: the player specifically asked me to build him a territory that was impossible to govern but otherwise self sufficient, so if you wonder why the design has such catastrophic penalties for any edict the ruler tries to make it was by request).
If I get the time to actually finish, I'll have a hex map of the world and will redo things using it.
One problem I ran into is that the military costs mechanic is heavily abusable since everything costs 1bp upkeep. So you might find that like me you want something a bit more granular for troops, etc. I still have my old BECMI rules for kingdoms and armies and NPC hirelings and might swap to those while keeping the Kingdoms rules for the territory and trade routes and ruler actions.
