Would not suprise me...especially if they were chopped. That would explain the lack of workers for Kaz and the need to slave now.
2S is a peak. S SW is a hill, probably desert, with a peak W, SW, S and E of that tile, so there would only be two optons where to move, and one of them might be a peak, so S SW is possibly the worst way to move, as S SE would make it possible to move to that tile any way, uncover more FoW and provide other options anyway.
Much as I want to find out more infor about the coast/lake, I think for right now S->W makes more sense. It sets up NW->? and then he could just return the same route if we don't want to continue West (or we spot what we need).
