if you have anything that can open and edit .tga files then here is a tutorial for adding land bridges and 'real' rivers https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=52483

sorry if this doesn't help as much though

There are also numerous examples of it in EB - if you download it and take a look at the map files you can see. There are also examples of land bridges proper in there where a ship can cross - but those are only really useful in one place - at Korinth where there was a system where you could pull ships across the land.

An interesting tidbit: If I recall correctly, Sparticus ended up in the toe of Italy expecting an allied fleet to show up to ship his army to Sicily. Those ships never showed, forcing him and his army to face the pursuing Romans which led to his defeat and capture. I don't remember the exact details, but the difficulty in getting to Sicily w/o some form of naval aid was central to the defeat of Sparticus.
