Ireland OTl was a hard place to build roads. too many bogs. Roman road would sink in Bogs.
OTL some road were built through bogs using wooden boards and had to be replaced regularly as they sank and biogs grow over them.
"Gradually covered by the rising bog and sinking under its own weight, it was covered by the bog within a decade, and perhaps less, where it remained preserved for two millennium.[7]"

Transport by river and sea were much easier. Most town were built on rivers.
Does Brendan the navigator still make his voyage to the Americas?

Thanks for the info. I honestly didn't check about the bog situation in Ireland, should have thought of that. I'll incorporate it into the next update, how the Roman roads were sinking.Ireland OTl was a hard place to build roads. too many bogs. Roman road would sink in Bogs.

Though there will be a voyage to the America by the Hibernians, Brendan himself will be butterflied away. Though maybe I will have a young Celtic adventurer from near Scanna sail to the west around Brendan's time...Does Brendan the navigator still make his voyage to the Americas?

Hiatus is no longer indefinite. I will get back to this sometime before the end of this month. I can't promise regular updates.
Nice to hear. Between this and Ground Game, I was hoping you'd start back up on something soon.
