you have the exact same problem I had. Is Denmark, Sweden or any country with a navy near the bridge your enemy? If that is the case it counts as them blocking the bridge and stopping your troops get across.

Your first post made it sound like you were clicking on the actual bridge which would put your army into the sea. You gotta click somewhere on the land on the other side of the bridge.

tried that too . it isnt turning green on the other side of the bridge so i dont know what is wrong.

There seems to be a current bug or "feature" when there's enemy naval units in the vicinity occupying/blocking ports. Your gonna have to transport them over with ships or find a way to destroy those ships.

Conclusion: Ships near Copenhagen has a tendency to prevent your units from moving off "Sjælland"/the copenhagen isle.

yeah i noticed that.

. using a bridge would have been so much easier. you guys know if they will continue to patch this game?

**Coilz** · April 12, 2009, 02:17 PM

Haven't heard anything that suggested otherwise, their probably hotfixing serious game crashes and waiting with a big patch to fix gameplay stuff.

You didn't have opponents on the other side blocking your bridge?

Yeah I just had that problem as well. It delayed the attack on Copenhagen for like 3 whole turns because once I figured out what was going on I had to march to the North end of the peninsula to board. For some reason it seems you're army can't even board when you're in an enemy fleet's "interception zone." It was very annoying.

Aha so it's got to do with the interception zone then. Can't even cross cross the water bridges with ships closeby. Seems like it's on purpose, but makes the start of the game for Denmark really hard. Especially with swedens superior navy.

yup i was playing as sweden and trying to invade copenhagen , and there was a danish ship right in the area around the bridge.

Umm, are you talking about bridges or connections between islands/archiplegos (sic?). I think you are talking about connections, meaning you have to own both sides, or have naval dominance in the area. Makes sense as all ur little danish line of foot sitting in rowboats would be mincemeat even for a galley.

On to bridges (sorry if there is another post). When defending, do you guys situate your cannons to fire down the bridge end to end, or off to the side to enfidelade as they approach the bridge & rely on infantry to hold your end?

I have been doing the latter as I think most bridges rise in the middle, does this sheild the enemy, or is the game engine not that smart?
