That means they could cross anywhere along the river. Plus, as you mentioned, they could still go around the mountains as well. For that matter, they could loop South around the swamp too... Just goes to prove that you can always circumvent any obstacle, provided you're willing to go far enough out of your way.Besides, we already wanted to have the river itself as a trade route, so for a real trade "hub", we also needed one that crosses it more or less perpendicular. North to South would have been the obvious candidate in the original layout (with the river going straight East), but someone put that damn swamp in the way. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Anyway, we'll leave it up to TGD to hash this out, he is Geography minister after all! (And besides, he seems to agree with me... all the more reason to support his authority <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />)</blockquote>
