Landblocks

We are testing various solutions, including this one.

landblocks? care to explain? im not understanding...what is a landblock in RTW? sorry for my noobish ignorance...

I think it's about trying to make some parts of the map impossible to move across.

No!

Please do not make landblocks! Do not try to direct history like RTR does, just let everything flow!

Doesn't this go against everything the EB team stands for like the "we are setting the table as it was, then you create the history"?

Isn't this something like having a character like Marius show up to do the reforms, when in fact anyone could have done it in a variety of ways?

Please no?

I'll have to learn map editing...

What he said! Although I think he forgot the "not"

EDIT: nevermind lol, he edited his post

We haven't really done it yet. It's got to be an option though guys - as carthie/ptolemy sand wars are not historical and would not have happened like they are in RTW's engine without some geographical hindrance (be it in terrain or strange territorial boundaries or whatever). We have a couple of other tricks to try first, but our mapping ability has been greatly hindered lately.

I agree, I paticularly find annoying the constant war/peace treaties every turn over insignifigant pieces of the saharan desert...

I don't think the AI would handle these landblocks very well.

You'd just get a bunch of full stack armies who are just standing there because of pathfinding problems.

Is it not possible to restrict the province-selection process for AI players, or is that stuff mostly in the inaccessibly code?
