Don't know if they had a special dispensation His Holiness but I've just seen a unit of Polish FMAAs run across the edge of a pond in Volhynia, - (probably the same pond as on any map that has one)- about the scale equivalent of 8m in and for about 30m.
This act of faith occurred immediately after they caught and annihilated a fleeing Mongol Horse Archer unit which had spread itself along one bank and frozen.

Let that be a lesson to you, O Enemies of the Faith.

I remember sprites getting stuck on the edges of rivers in STW but never running across them, not even in the harshest Winter.

I have a screenshot of the mass JC impersonation but no way of putting it up.

It seems M:TW simulates the fact that units can stand in the edge of a pond, but forgot to make the units sink.

Happens all the time when a enemy routs or you chase a routing enemy.

I'm just waiting for my men to change water to wine.

a while back Kraellin modded an STW map that let your guys cross rivers...it was pretty cool since after a point all you could see were the tops of their spears poking out.

unfortunately, they seem to have removed that feature from the mtw map editor :( and i can no longer make horses fly either :(
