The first episode of the anime had him within walking distance of both the outer gate, watching the rangers come in and cry about dying in vain, and the inner gate when everyone ran to the boats and sailed twenty meters into the next ring. So I'm thinking wall to wall city in the outer ring and also the outer ring is not unfathomably large. When they were hookshotting all over the city in the middle part of the anime I am thinking "this is reclaiming the outer ring again, that rock smashed erin's house and now it is plugging up the hole. This is thematic and now they can go see what is in the basement."

But now they're in the actual outer ring and they ride horses all day through empty land and occasionally find a city or abandoned castle while looking for the hole in the wall and I don't understand the world anymore.

There are three concentric rings of walls. The walls have cities embedded in the wall at each of the four cardinal directions, and each city has two gates--one that leads to the lands outside that wall, and one to the lands inside the wall.

Eren's city, Shinganshina, is in the outer of the three walls and is only in the first two episodes. The Colossal Titan kicks in the outer gate, and the Armored Titan breaks open the inner.

After the timeskip and training, the Colossal shows up and kicks in the outer gate of Trost, which is in the middle wall. The boulder they plug it up with was quarried at Trost to be transported to Shinganshina to plug up one of the gates there.

The maps in the manga and the anime's eycatches make much of this pretty clear.

Or, in other terms, one and a half walls were broken into, and then the half was fixed by Eren with the boulder. After that we got caught up in a bunch of craziness and haven't really done much with the walls. Edit: And the basement is in the furthest possible section, so we're not seeing it for a while unless the heroes go on a wall-sealing rampage.

The outer wall has the diameter of France, so they'll have plenty of excuses for stalling the basement to come.

What if they just rush to the edge of the wall with a group of the most resourceful Titan fighters, and leave the best human fighters inside with Eren?

My understanding is that Titans are attracted to humans, but that what really gets them is shifters. So as long as Eren doesn't go with them, they should be fine.

In fact, they could move Eren to one of the northern edge cities, and the titans should follow him there and pile up outside that wall, leaving minimal interference in the south side where Shinganshina is.

Also, where the titans are piling up is a good indication of where shifters are going

Do you believe in heroes?
There was once named a man named Grisha, who was king of the spoilers.
He had fame, power and wealth beyond your wildest dreams.
Before his son ate him, these were the words he said:
My fortune is yours for the taking, but you'll have to find it first.
I left everything I own in ONE BASEMENT.

Ever since, shifters from all over the world set sail for Shiganshina:
Searching for basement, the treasure that would make their dreams come true.

YO!
Yah yoh, YAH yoh!
Dreamin! Don't give it up, Eren.
Dreamin! Don't give it up, Armin.
Dreamin! Don't give up, Mikasa.
Dreamin! Don't give it, give it up, give it up, give it up, give it YO!

Here's how the story goes, we find out out 'bout a treasure in the basement, there's no doubt;
The shifter whose eye is on it, he'll sing: I'll be king of the titans, I'm gonna be king!

His name is Eren! That's Eren Jaeger.
Gonne be KING OF THE TITANS!
He's made of anger!
How did that happen?
Yohoho a titan ate him mum-mum.

His name's Armin, he's just like a psychopath.
And there's L-A-D-Y, Mikasa's wrath.
The Survey Corp comin' through, doin' their thing
With the king of the titans, he's gonne be king.

Set sail for basement
That's the name of the treasure in Shiganshina.
Set sail for BASEMENT!

They'd do what the German Naruto dub did to the Uchiha Clan and say she was kidnapped by the titans. Just edit in the sound of her giving herself up to save her kids while looping the footage of Eren being carried away and there you go.

You can actually select which language you want to see in the front page, if you have an account. Just below the "search comics" box there's a section called "language settings", click the link called "alter settings", then tick "show selected languages", and select the language you want. That way you'll see the chapters in the language you want to read.
