Nor massive man o war things but like rafts or canoes just to make it easier to travel across the lake

it's way too easy to get across the lake, hit t key and go afk :O

now if you drown when you run out of energy, sure boats would be great

i think it is a great idea to be added in a couple months into the game. In terms of lore possibly something to do with a less abundant supply of fish traveling down the streams and more fish have been inhabiting the lake, within the lake could be rarer fish that provide possible buffs? something along these lines would make fishing a little more significant. Along with one among many reason for quick access to distant tribes for trade among many other things. Why not have water transportation if taming is meant to be added in early on in prelude for land transportation. possibly add them together even.

Actually, you're wrong. We will be able to ride certain tamed animals.

Id take my log everywhere man. If i could tame a log as my one pet it would definately be worth it. Id take em pvping maybe use em for a little crafting (joking on the crafting part wouldnt wanna hurt it), maybe bring it along on a date or too. The endless possibilities this might just need to be brought to the suggestions page.

As im all for more options....boats...really? I can see the circumferance of land around lake taho swimming in the middle....perhaps if we had an ocean or a bigger lake, but its suppose to be real landmass. I just think its more work for the dev than its worth to put in rowboats...do they even allow real boats on lake taho?...goofball californians probably have yachts on that lake for taking 15min laps around the lake sucking down tons of fuel before they go to global warming protests....

Boats would be a great addition esp if we get more water areas/sea

Boats would be sweet, but the current lake isn't just big enough for them.

yeah its a shame there are so many waterfalls too! I suppose thats a drawback of using a real world type map rather than one tailor made for this type of gameplay. There should be more options in the future tho and even just with the lake i think simple rafts would be useful. Of course the next debate would be - where are they stored/can they be stolen? The same with mounts i suppose there will be a section of subs that dont want them pulled out of a bag.

Canoe and raft would give woodworkers a bit more to do too. Could be a higher level recipie.

A small canoe to go a little faster then swimming on the lakes would be sweet and a raft that a few people could peice together and ride or that you could stand on and take to for "deepwater" fishing would be sweet. Maybe further out you get a chance to get a bigger than normal fish or something.. I dunno.

I think it was in the FAQ.

Boats are planned during the Prelude but only little one man rafts and max ships for 10 guys. Only for travel without cannons
