How to allow armies to walk on water ?

You have to modify the campaign map. Remember the land links in STW and MTW. Well RTW can use them. You'll have to ask someone that knows about campaign maps though

Well, I know this trick has been discovered a while ago
Can't anyone help ?

I don't have the time to explain this in detail.

From left to right:
map_heights.tga
map_groundtypes.tga
map_regions.tga
In the map_heights.tga and map_groundtypes.tga leave out one 1 square between landmasses. It's like making a 45 degree diagonal line and then to delete one pixel in that line. NOTE: the landbridge can be no greater than 1 pixel. The connection must be made in map_regions.tga.
I don't remember wether ships can pass the landbridge.

I would appreciate it if you would return the favour by writing a more detailed guide and put it in Myddraal's guide.

How did you not have the land extended into the water there, which the 1.2 patch bugged? Just curious.

Wow, excellent, I didn't know this was possible! I'll be working on this for sure.

**Myrddraal** · 08-02-2005, 15:05

What about roads? do roads cross the water?
