Cities should be the transportation hubs, the travel nodes. Encouraging people to split their harbor investments into a ton of townslands just serves no purpose at all.
i don't agree with that. take BT. i'm going to stick a harbour in avengmil, because that's where it makes sense. if you want to go the southern route via boats, then you go from Rines to Avengmil to take a boat. instead of embarking from Rines, then sail the long way around up melegra then down again.
if you take Raviel. It's obvious that you should stick a harbour there too. look where it leads.
laraibina, panafau, aveston, mattan dews, sallowtown, etc to the south and east, as well as paisly and all on the other side.
thus raviel to go sw/s/se/e, port raviel to go nw/n/ne.
gain so much as it is, so you lose port raviel<->paisly 1 hop trip. big deal.
how many harbours do you need in a single region? does stacking make things cheaper? i would have thought 1 is enough
also... until port raviel is the capital again, you won't even bother going there.
