Raft caravans

Raft caravans (also referred to as Naval caravans) allow the transportation of cargo over the water.[3][4][5][6]
- Unlike merchant ships, raft caravans are capable of transitioning to and from land caravans at the point of intersection of land and water.[4][5][7][2][6]
- Raft caravans may only be used in rivers.[8]
- Currently the stats of the raft are informed by the components of the caravan. This may be changed based on testing.[9][2]
- By default, raft caravans have a racial appearance. Players will be able to apply caravan skins to change this appearance.[2]
Raft caravan initiation
Raft caravans are capable of transitioning to and from land caravans at the point of intersection of land and water.[1][4][7][2][6]
- There will be a delay of "a few minutes" while the caravan transitions while a conversion structure spawns. This introduces a small window of vulnerability.[1][4][7][2]
- Part of this transition process is again the risk that you're introducing for the reward of having greater flexibility in movement through the land and that risk is basically you're a sitting duck here for lack of a better term.[1] – Steven Sharif
- The conversion structure does not benefit from damage mitigation points of land or raft caravans, so it's a very weak position to be in.[10]
- There's two kinds of methods to crossing rivers: One of them is with bridges, which are constructed by mayors and players, but the other method is via a transformation into a raft... It'll make you a little bit of a sitting duck while you're transitioning. Once you're in the water you'll get a nice speed boost from the currents; and it's a alternate means to getting stuck on the choke points that are bridges.[4] – Chris Justo

Convert to Raft | Allows the caravan to turn into a vehicle that can cross calm waters.[11] |
Hijacking ships
Certain ships can be hijacked, destroyed and looted, but the ships themselves cannot be permanently captured.[12][13]
- The cargo on a merchant ship will be similar to caravans in that the ship must be destroyed in order to capture the loot from its wreckage.[13]
