I have absolutely no clue if 20 mi wide makes sense. My experience with
rivers is terribly limited; I'm used to craploads of little lakes and
things, not serious waterways. :/
Does 20 mi make ANY sense at all?
For a manual power, perhaps 4 people:
each cabin hold 2 people, the cargo area is just walled, and holds up
to 200,000 lbs. the GVB statistics give approximate dimensions...
TL03 Barge Poled
Subassemblies: Vehicle +7, Body +7.
P&P: four rowing oars (average ST 12).
How does performance change if this is a poled vehicle instead of rowed?
With an ox pulling it (note that this speed is realtive to the ox, not
the water):
TL03 Barge Towed
Subassemblies: Vehicle +7, Body +7.
P&P: staff and collar harness (2 hexes of ground creatures, total ST 30).
I'm assuming these numbers are 3e, because we don't exactly have our Ve
system for 4e. That said, 3e cattle have ST in the 40-80 range acording
to Bestiary, and Oxen should be at the high end of that, being the 1.5
to 2 ton type, rather than the half ton type which I assume are dairy
cattle, and cows to boot. If you have a ST 70 ox pulling, rather than a
30, what's the performance like? One ox being 2 hexes of ground creature :D
Also, if you substitude Hobgoblins for oxen (say, ST 14 for
"professional" towmen) do they need different harnesses ergo different
efficiency? Or can I sub in two 4e ST 14 hobs for your 1 3e ST 30 ox and
get approximately the same results?
