There are several holding types that you can have. Holdings will be built in micro sizes on the great map, while they will be built in mini size on some pads in the personal server. You cannot place your holding on the great map before the holding is ready.
1. The most important buildings must have insides.
2. Max 7 holdings per player. None says you have to build all 7 holdings.
3. You don't have to build every single suggested building. Try only take a few of those which fits your settlements, so that other settlements can be special too.
4. If you already have built your 7 holdings and ragequits/is thrown out from the holdings, then you can't build another 7 holdings. If you wish to rejoin after having built them, then you must beg other players of holdings. If you only built 5 holdings previously, then you're still allowed to build 2 more.
5. You can have both a church type and a fort type per settlement.
