How to add landbridges back between England-France and Scotland Ireland?

[Rothgar]

I am wondering how to add these landbridges? France and England never go to war in my campaigns, and they should. Is it possible for someone who knows what they are doing to add them for me and just send me the file? That would be much appreciated. Otherwise, is it hard and is it save game compatible? Thanks.

All I can say it will 100% not be save compatible. Best to check/ask in the modder section.

Here you go http://files.filefront.com/map+featu.../fileinfo.html

You need to place this in DLV_ext\data\world\maps\base (back-up your original), delete the map.rwm file in the same folder (otherwise you won't see the changes). I believe it is saved game compatible. Have fun!

[Furin]

How can it be save game compatible when the save is referring to an old map.rwm? Well you (I) learn a new thing every day I guess.

I've just tested it and it's save compatible.

nifty!

Thanks so much man. I always play England and this is just what I have been looking for! You have really helped me out alot.

The Scotland-Ireland landbridge will make it so Ireland at least has a chance to invade the English mainland. Historically in this poeriod they didn't, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't give them the opportunity. ;-)

Totally agree with the Irish invasion.
BTW I use a similar landbridge in my own DLV mod & England always has to face a Flanders invasion as well as the historical enmity of the French. A busy time is had by all.

Thanks for the link, the land-bridges greatly add to the British/Flemish/Irish/French/Scottish expansion (AI).

Not sure why it was removed in the first place.

[Harry Lime]

For anyone who wishes the Irish to be more involved in the campaign I've added an extra land bridge as I was concerned they were still too reluctant to leave the Emerald Isle.

I'm expecting an invasion anytime now

As always back up original file. Save game compatible but you will have to delete the map.rwm file to see & use the new bridge.

[Rothgar]

Will this landbridge add-on work with 4.0?

[Harry Lime]

@Rothgar

Yes it works. I'm using it already. Just don't forget to delete the map.rwm file (if there is one).

[Furin]

bump

[Rothgar]

Can this be stickied by chance?

[Furin]

As I minor ressurected this from the bottom of page three I'd vote for a sticky too...

[missu]

i just downloaded the second file, with the additional irish landbridges.
i hope it is bugfree.

maybe not this mini mod should be stickied, but a minimod thread... containing all the goodies and links to the respective "page three threads"

[Furin]

using it, works like a charm, you seem quite paranoid when it comes to bugs...

[Harry Lime]

"Page 3 threads" wouldn't they be a 18 rating?

But a stickied mini-mod thread is a great idea especially as there is an increasing number of them emerging these days & perhaps more on the way?

EDIT @Missu, no bugs. Just delete your existing map.rwm file.
Sigh, beaten too it by Furin. I'm getting old & slow.

Land bridges are terrible idea, particularly between France and England as it changes most utterly historical dynamics in the game (but if that does not matter to you then that is clearly not a big deal).

Of course both Scotland (under Bruce) and England did invade Ireland, but you do not need a land bridge to make that happen, just add the 'sailor' tag.

[Furin]

Although historically incorrect it prevents 3 factions from sitting on their behinds for the lenght of the campaign and make the upper left corner of europe more dynamical gamewise (even if you add the sailor tag it does not change the AI tons). I like the way it changes campaign dynamics, especially when playing a faction in the near vicinity.

If the AI was better, especially when it comes to naval invasions, I'd totally agree with you and historically speaking I do already.
