Why is this here?

A river with some greenery where the Sahara Desert ends. Why though? There was nothing of interest there in Rome II, so why was it purposefully put there for seemingly no reason in Attila? It can't be reach and it is always covered by fog of war unless a mod is turned on. When the camera is zoomed in, areal sounds can even be heard like with other rivers. Why?

Probably just the very same reason why there are some un-used items in DB...At the very beginning artist simply did bigger map. And not everything got into final game. You can look at map of shogun2 with huge ocean areas in some corners of map... Okay, you have may be 0,01% chance it´s hint for future attila content I will admit it. Something with very catchy name....TW: king kong...from mist of Africa´s old forest, army of apes is comming. In case it beats Alexander as new probably new expansion..

Because sahara esert ends and, there are rivers and greeneries in there.

Because in reality there is greenery south of the Sahara...?

I mean, just because you can't go there doesn't mean there's no reason to not design the map so it shows what realistically would be there. It adds to the immersion, because it shows you that even though you can't go there, the world still goes on.

It's the Niger River.

Nice to see that it exists, but as it is normally covered in Fog of War, I am certain that it was simply the work of an over zealous mapper. If someone were to tell me that they can see the geographical features of India in the Eastern corner of the map then we might have something worth discussing.
