Raft caravans are capable of transitioning to and from land caravans at the point of intersection of land and water.[1][2][3][4][5]
- 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][2][3][4]
- 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.[6]
- 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.[2] – Chris Justo

Raft caravans
Raft caravans (also referred to as Naval caravans) allow the transportation of cargo over the water.[8][2][9][5]
- Unlike merchant ships, raft caravans are capable of transitioning to and from land caravans at the point of intersection of land and water.[2][9][3][4][5]
- Raft caravans may only be used in rivers.[10]
- Currently the stats of the raft are informed by the components of the caravan. This may be changed based on testing.[11][4]
- By default, raft caravans have a racial appearance. Players will be able to apply caravan skins to change this appearance.[4]
