 On the plains, it's easier to pass through a large country than a small one.
 In forested or mountainous areas, the opposite is true - they are large, wild,
 and untamed, and thus difficult to get through.

 The bigger a county is on the electoral map, the weaker it is. But, the more
 space required to control it completely. Treat the largest counties like
 Badlands - difficult to traverse unless in numbers, and even with numbers
 you're a bright shining target. Very little food, very few supplies, often not
 worth controlling aside from the peace and knowledge that your foes will not
 attack from that direction.

 growing up on the plains, I saw only what humans could create there. Not what
 life was abound. When I visited the forests in the mountains, I thought
 smaller scale, more focused, more distributed. Back home, among the grasses,
 there was always more grass.

 one perk, however, is as long as you cover your entrances, you can make paths
 through the wilderness with small circular homes. like ants, building tunnels
 and chambers in an ant-hill, but on the 2 dimension plane that is the surface
 of the earth.
 
 (I guess you could dig tunnels too but that's pretty high effort)
 
 you'll be able to hear when someone is coming from a long way away because
 they'll constantly be cursing from the pain. Do, however, note that fire is a
 danger, and they can smoke you out with a single entrance, so make sure you
 have at least two which lead to separate sides of the place you're in.

 one difference between fantasy and reality is that in fantasy, when you fail,
 you try again.
 
 in reality, when you fail, you are promoted so your boss doesn't have to deal
 with your shit.
 
 in fantasy, when you succeed, you are tasked with greater trials
 
 in reality, when you do well, you are given more of the same.

 in the past, logistics were often carried by horses.
 
 without the additional speed and terrain-overcoming-capability, it's difficult
 to ensure a party on the march could have enough supplies of critical items
 like food and water.
 
 especially water.
 
 natural sources can only be trusted if you're in the mountains. if the river
 flows past farmland, or places with wide-open areas or forests that animals
 might congregate, you're more and more likely for it to be contaminated.
 dysentery kills faster than dehydration because you poop out all your
 hydration.
 
 boiling water only goes so far, eventually you'll find yourself in a desert.
 
 hopefully at that point you can rely on car-based infrastructure to deliver
 truckloads of goods. and remember - busses can ferry goods around in a city
 just as well as they can carry workers. Might need to remove a seat or three,
 and make sure the weight tolerances are in order. helps if you disperse it
 throughout the front, middle, and back.
