It entirely depends on the time when the settlement is occurring. In the Ancient Period, the most attractive land had a river or some waterway, reasonable fertile soil, and relatively flat terrain to facilitate movement and transport. In the Middle Ages, places nestled in the hills and highlands were most desirable since they were better protected from rival militaries and cavalries. Also, places on the mouths of rivers or along bays were desirable for their possibilities as harbors (facilitating trade). In the Modern Age, regions with untapped resources are the most attractive to new settlers.
