The reason why I choose fresh water source as the 1st thing is because water is mandatory for you to live. The reason behind fertile land being 2nd is because you need a place where you could grow your food, which is also mandatory for you to live. The reason i choose near a forest in 3rd place is because a forest would provide you with a lot of animals for food, herbs, and wood for firewood and to build your houses. The reason behind friendly neighbors being 4th is because you wouldnt want to live near savages or anyone that would want to take over your house or do you any harm. The reason behind mild climate being 5th is that who wouldnt want normal temperatures. The reason behind 6th thing being near a river or ocean is so that you could spice your meals up with some sea food. The reason that is choose an area suitable for defense or spotting enemies last is that you could always build a wall around your land and you probably have friendly neighbors.
My most important choice is a fresh water sorce. It is my first choice because you need fesh water to live. My secound choice is mild climate. I picked mild climate because you need a good climate to plant and work. Third choice is fertile land. I picked that because you need fertile land to plant food and you need fertile land for that. My forth is near a river or ocean I picked that because a river or ocean is used for dirnking and a lot of other things. Fith is near a forest I picked that because a forest has plant you can use for medicine. My sixed choice is an area suitable for defense or spotting enemies I picked that because you need a spot to hide from your enemies so you wont get killed. Last is having friendly neighbors that is my last because you dont really need friendly neighbors but you do because if you enemies come you need to cooperate with them.
