Chinese people are currently review-bombing Stellaris because Paradox is releasing a meme alt-history path for India in a completely different game where they can form the "Silk Road Empire"

This is historically accurate thobeit. Anyone looking at this map can tell which route would be most cost competitive and all those routes go through India lmao. How many bales can you load on a camel and how many camels can you take through 20k foot passes.

WTF are you talking about? It was always way easier going across Central Asia. Look at your own f-ing map (which is from a book from before you born btw
). Unless you're hauling really heavy/bulky goods where you'd go by sea, but that wasn't worth it. It was spices, textiles, the kinds of goods you see in international trade in my critically-acclaimed LP of Darklands.

Very easy lmao
Just like 50% of the road would be mountains >3000M with several mountain passes that remain snowed in for half the year to the present no biggie kek
You think camels were bringing in goods worth more than 120 ocean going ships annually?
I don't even understand what you're trying to say with heavy, bulky etc. Ancients weren't trading coal and lumber long distance, every single item was low volume high value. But even then obviously it'd be beneficial if you could bring 500 units to sell rather than 50. China's trading cities were all southern coastal for a reason lmao. If silk road was what it is hyped to be Canton would have been in Xian. But of course that was never the case, bulk of China's overseas trade always went to the southern seas and thence to the world.

You got that from my criticism of "Xenophon"'s "Anabasisis".
That was like 6 months ago. Don't play.
Myos Hormos, yeah, there were a number of different ways to do it, up river, down river.
