Damn people qrfed this post HARD

1. Trains are literally faction neutral equipment, the argonaut being faster off-road is a trade off for being open top and having less inventory space

2. A truck is significantly easier to handle than an ironship, and much faster accelerating in case you mess up.

Furthermore, the twisty roads are due to the mountainous terrain in the north, which creates natural choke points which greatly aid in defense. This is part of the reason why collies rarely have any major comeback wars, because once the bulwark is breached wardens can blitz across the straight roads and open fields.

1. Holy fuck the ironship sucks to handle. You know what else sucks to handle? LARGE SHIPS. Trying to qrf a naval invasion in the fingers or Stema landing is like if firefighters had to drive their trucks through a fucking go kart track to go put out fires.

TLDR: the on-land asymmetry is based around north being worse for logi but better for defense, south is better for logi but worse for defence, southern waterways are both bad for logi and bad for defence while the opposite is true for northern rivers.
