I think the Nile river is already navigatable. I'm not sure if it would make a sense for most of the other rivers- imagine sailing with a trireme down the donou into Germany...

I'm on the same page with Krazilec here. Not too many rivers in the EB map would be navigatable. Nile is the only one I am sure was navigable, and even Nile is navigable only to the first Kataract (I guess it was possible to pull your ships up the Kataract at the flood time, but still, this was seldom done). Other rivers that could be navigable are Danube, Rhine, Thames, maybe Rhône and Seine? Remember that if river is navigable nowadays, it maybe wasn't navigable at all in EB timeframe.

So what I'm saying is that if river would be made navigable, it should be so only if there is certain scientific proof that the river in question was navigable in EB timeframe.

To clarify, Donau = Danube

I just can't imagine that entire fleets of warships could ever sail in unison, let alone transporting thousends of troops across most European rivers.

Nile was navigable...Historically,greeks send to Egypt a cohort to help a king,(don't remember the name) and we have the description of the fleet to sail through the Nile...

All this in the classic era...

I dont' know if other fleets sail on other rivers....I think that the rivers in this era was only for trade...

Maybe I am wrong...
