I've realised this isn't as straightforward as it seems. Do I count North, South, East and West, then make a square of it? Do I count NSEW and the intermediary diagonals as well, then join those up? Or something else?  Ermm

There are 2 ways. The easiest is use the exodus way where you see if you can exodus there. The game does it for you. Second is ignore it.

No Lothar used the correct formula based on my knowledge of what the ten square rule is, but if your not good with that type of math their are tonnes of sites that can help.

Or you can just look at a image like this to help you understand link from DIL's alliance page.

If you already have a town there, the easiest in-game way is to click on the square, then select "send diplomats" or "send army", which will tell you what the distance is.

Otherwise, use the formula or links provided above.

All the math is fine and dandy (it is how the game figures it) but just use your fingers and count. If you get something you aren't sure about (is it 9? is it 10?) then you have two options:
  1. Send a city there anyway
  2. Contact the city owner to ask permission
If you contact the owner, they will likely ok it. There are rare occasions wherein they will have some plans that preclude them from agreeing to it. If you settle anyway, you can message the owner to give notice or just show up. Some players will ignore you, some will be upset, but most will fall in between. There have been times when this sort of issue has caused conflict and even a war now and then, so always contact your alliance leadership for guidance before doing anything.

One last note: less than 10 is acceptable by a lot of players. Just communicate.
