Is this possible??
Some Eleutheroi ships prevented me building a fort near a ford so i was wondering if it's possible to prevent movement acros landbridges with naval units only.

yes you can. try moving a shit on the landbridge and watch the enemy's move area get cut off.

AFAIK you can block landbridges with ships. It happened in the early turns of several KH Camapigns, the Maks moved their fleet to the landbridge between Athenai and Chalkis, so that I couldn't move my troops to Chalkis. Ceterum censeo Romam esse delendam.

The ablative tense? Is that the one that disappears first when the language starts to die out?

Isn't it the Locative tense?

Possibly the Locamotive tense?
The Locativus still has distinct traces in modern languages. For instance: "Go home".

I tried to block Sicily-Italy.
Didnt work as the crossing was diagonal....

Yes blockade works, even in diagonal land bidges, it just needs more than one vessel. I don't use it though because I love playing as Carthage and AI is so incompetent that it would be no fun on it, no one would be capable of assaulting Sicily

possibly, but that would be realistic. Carthage patrolled that strait at the beginning of the first Punic war and iirc Romans only managed to cross on small boats during the night catching Carthaginians off guard... otherwise no can do unless you defeat their fleet first.
wow... MAA just gave everybody what we call : a punch in the face!!! Kock out are all arguments about how wisely blocading landbridge!

Beg to disagree... try putting three fleets in the straits and wait to see the AI try to pass... I don't know if it is technically a land bridge blockade or simply a an AI behaviour but they do not pass. Though I dont use this as a tactic, I used this in EB 0.8 I believe.

I don't think those ships actually blockade the crossing. They do exert zone of control though, so it could take 2,3, even 4 turns to make it past that crossing (depending on how many times the ZoC stops your movement.
Perhaps if you had a unit inside the ship, would it exert a zone of control to stop enemy units?

Nope, tried that. Once a unit is in a ship, it is no longer counted by anything. But from my experience, ships do block AI armies from crossing. Just as armies block diplomats from crossing bridges. Not because of zone of control or other stuff, but simply because there is no space to move.
Then it would work if you had several fleets "blocking" a landbridge, no?
