Will there be any landblocks in 0.8? For example between the russian steppes and parthia, and between the carthagenians and the ptolemoies?

Re: Landblocks
I think it's about trying to make some parts of the map impossible to move across.
RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.
Re: Landblocks
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...

Re: Landblocks
I am curious about where these landblocks would be placed. I have not really played a lot of the factions (lots of Roman, one Casse, one Makedonian, and one Baktrian game(s)) so I am not really aware of where the problem areas are.
I am, however, particularly curious about tweaking access to the Steppes - wouldn't this sort of ruin things for the Saka? Or is the idea to force them back through Transoxiana?

Re: Landblocks
We don't have them yet. We are thinking about it if nothing else works. Don't worry about it for now - we don't want them either, but if we feel like in the future we will have to have them we will.
