Not quite... a passage between 3 and 4 is good, but 8 and 9 definitely won't work; it's more likely 8 and 10, which would be more correct. I haven't checked yet, but it's possible that if you remove these roads and place one Fortress in each of the three main towns, you might not have to run along the roads, although in that case, it would be like a version 2 of the map.
Yes, undoubtedly, I meant 8-10. That is, each player has 2 main towns and two secondary towns.
I'll try to redraw the scheme.
