Alpha-2 Raft caravan initiation in the Riverlands biome.

Raft caravans are capable of transitioning to and from land caravans at the point of intersection of land and water.

• 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.

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. – 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.

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. – Chris Justo
