The way we handle hoarding is pretty simple. We have designated 2 cities as "safe" cities (Iolcus and Mycenae in our case) and in those cities there is absolutely no hoarding allowed, mines and farms are first come first serve. In all other cities your assigned mine and farm are the same spot as your city location on the map. You are free to hoard at all times. For a 2nd farm or mine if the city has room on the edges then you take a 2nd farm or mine but do not hoard it. This way if someone moves into one of the edge locations they can wait for your 2nd mine or farm to expire and then claim their location.
The only time the above system runs into any issues is during Autumn when people relocate for AB's. But this period is very short and doesn't usually cause any issues as long as everyone follows the rules. Sure we have people that camp the top spots, but they almost always move eventually for refining or AB.
