I would prefer it to be more like an optional settlement system (providing advantages when you maintain settlements but not limiting the player) or an eternal TC without settlements, for example something like THIS
But precisely for respecting settlement system enthusiasts like you, my proposal was so minimalistic. To avoid disturbing your collective too much, and to provide a slight opportunity for those who prefer more freedom, variety of gameplay, etc
(EDIT 1):
Because there are tons of situations, where you might not be lost. The typical match in which the opponent already controls the entire map obviously no. But there are situations in which even temporarily you would need a subsistence CT This is the finality of the proposal
