Land A-hoy!!! Shiver me timbers & all that!

Ok this is just a small geography question and nothing to do with pirates, but having thought about it MTW 2 should have pirates who raid your ports and ships every now and again.
Back to my first point, why is there no land bridge from Norway to Finland and Sweden to finland. I know the connection to the north is not on the map but I think a land bridge would make sense as moving north through the mountains you can reach finland via Norway or Sweden. If anything it would stop the isolation of the "People of not very good"

Current game: XL, Early, Norwegians, expert.

Good idea! It wouldn't be too fun to march that route but it is possible. This can be modded fairly easily. I will try it out when I get time to play again. (hopefully this weekend) Once I get it to work I can put up the instructions of how to do it.

That's great, I'd like to learn how to do that myself so do let me know how you get on. Looking at a map now is there a case for including Norvogrod in this land bridge?

Its not that hard to do, just change the border info and invasion info in the startpos files. The border info is easy, but I'm not to sure how to mod the invasion info

IIRC any changes to the strat map will be purely aesthetic.

I hate to disagree but I disagree lol. You are correct but by that same logic you should be able to invade Egypt from Morocco and invade Georgia from Syria(or Mesopotamia in XL) then lol? That kinda defeats the purpose of surrounding provinces or Baltic sea in this case don't you think?

[NodachiSam]

I think if the map went higher there probably would've been at least one more province inbetween but the marching is totally doable. I don't think that a connection to Novogord is reasonable either. If you wanted you could link up Ireland and Arabia if you wanted so it certainly is possible.

I've been toying with it a little so far. It isn't crashing but it doesn't seem to be working either. I'll keep at it.

Hi NodachiSam,
tell me are you just editing data in the text files? I think it's worth a go to see how well it would work.

Weebeast,
yes you are right about the geo of those other places. But in terms of game play I think it might stop the people of 'not very good' from being so not very good. They always seem to get cornered in finland which is a shame I think.
