Serious EB bug report : CTD w/reinforcement from other shore

[khukkl]

As many EB players know, EB allowed that armies or agents can cross the sea where both shores are near to each other. It seems that EB creators intended more frequent battle without any ships, but that is proved to cause serious problem : CTD with reinforcement from other shore.

In original RTW, armies or agent basically cannot go accross the sea. Many
CTD from battle maps reported here are all related this bug as I think. The reason is simple, AI cannot place reinforcement armies on the sea water.

Hence, I suggest to fix this serious bug by preventing sea-crossing of armies.
Even though it can reduce the strategic AI, better than bug.

So where is your bug report?

People have lot's of crashes with battles that have reinforcements in them, simply because reinforcements are heavy handle for your pc.
As for land bridges and CTD's... I've fought battles near the straits of Sicily, the Bosphorus and between Denmark and Scandinavia, with and without reinforcement from either me or the AI and I have never encountered a CTD there.

My PC is more than enough to play with all the highest graphic options with this game, 40,000 soldiers are available even though FPS becomes low. So don't doubt that my PC's capacity is the reason of CTD.

AS you say, it is not that all land bridges cause CTD, it is different according to the terrain of battle field. If the position of reinforcement is on sea water, then CTD. This bug can be found on the position between Attenae & island of right side(I forgot the name of island). Try to play with Koinon Hellenon(?) and test it yourself. I think it is not only the place of such a bug, because there are many simmilar terrain like that.

As a matter of fact I just played 80years of a KH campaign and I fought a few battles between Athens and Euboea.

Do you have an example of someone who had a CTD with this?

BTW I've seen armies and reinforcements being positioned in the water before (RTR, I think) and except from immidiately drowning/dying they did nothing.

As for your trouble with land bridges. I thought they were easily modded out. Maybe someone can help you with that.

Somebody help me to disable land bridging of army on strategy map, please~~ :)

To Mediolanicus: If they drowned then were you playing on BI?

[khukkl]

It is very funny even the imagination... " Our reinforcement is all drowned to die in the water, strategos!" I'm playing EBv1.1 with Alex add-on.

To Mediolanicus: If they drowned then were you playing on BI?

Yeah, I think I was. Long time ago...

In RTW you will see soldiers drown too..
