Put a random nomad tile face up on each nomad space during setup. No new tiles are ever placed later.

"After building a settlement" means "After building or moving a settlement". (Often the rules say "build" when they mean "build or move", but not always, unfortunately.)

Unlike location tiles, you don't lose a nomad tile if you no longer have no settlements adjacent to its nomad space.

(Of course you lose the nomad tile on the turn after you claim it in any case.)

If it's possible to build your Donation tile houses next to existing houses, you must.

The English description is a bit ambiguous. The intention is:
A settlement on water does not score Fishermen points (but could score Miner points).
A settlement on mountains does not score Miner points (but could score Fishermen points).

It's not possible to move through an illegal space (occupied, mountain, water, stone) with Resettlement. Each space entered must be valid for stopping, even if you don't stop there.

Resettlement only lets you move your own settlements. (Note that it would be extremely powerful if you could move 4 of an opponent's settlements away from locations, for example.)

Outpost only works with placing new settlements, not when moving existing settlements.

If a player places their last settlement, this is the final round even if later in the round Sword puts a settlement back into the player's supply.

The settlements score regardless of the building order, so long as they form a straight line once built.

Stone walls are limited. If they run out, no more can be built.

Caravan movement is also blocked by stone walls and board edges.

http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/770903/are-stone-walls-considered-as-obstacles

A settlement on water can't move onto an adjacent water hex via a Caravan, but it can move onto an adjacent land hex (and continues until it hits an obstacle - water, mountains, buildings, or occupied hexes, including walls).
