Is there a way to get to the Lhasa_Region?

**greg0210** · May 03, 2009, 02:23 PM

This may have been asked in another place, but I was wondering if there is any way to make it where you can reach the Lhasa_Region (Tibet, I am thinking). I have not been able to get to the settlement there.

No its a place holder. There are 2 others ya can't get to and Siwa Oasis was supposed to be but was inadvertently left open.

the other two are Khartoum (which is mildly annoying) and whatever that place in the middle of the arabian desert is called.

Thanks for the response, why would you put places in the game that you can not reach? And, can it be changed to make it accessible? Is there a tutor written to do this? Thanks again for the info.

You would have to edit the map and such. Its not worth the effort. Its there for border contact barriers. If for example the Arabian desert was part of other regions Ayyubid would be considered next to Oman when there really not. And it was simply an easy way to define regions were none lived for the most part. Im unsure if that's so for 1.5. Just ignore them most mods have at lest 1 inaccessible region.

thanks for the response, I wanted to get to the Lhasa_Region, but guess will not worry about it. Maybe 1.5 will not have them, thanks again.

I'd expect them in 1.5 as well. Lhasa was pretty much unreachable from india in those days, especially for armies. The Arabian desert gives problems with borders and such, not to mention it too was hard to reach back in those days.

That said, I don't really know what the deal with Khartoum is.

It would be great if in the next installment we can reach those areas after
the long and hard marches. Especially trough the desert and mountainous terrain.

You can make them accessible by editing the terrain types TGA using Paint or another to make a passage in the low/high mountains and the impassable terrain, deleting map.rwm to make the game generate a new map - and it is instantly applicable on save games and current campaigns too. You won't get new roads generated through those passages, however, as was my purpose when editing the vanilla M2:TW map to make river crossings to create more road linkages between capitals and ports...

Also, an even easier method is to cheat. Do you want to get armies there by cheating?

By the way, am I permitted to upload a modified terrain type .tga for players to use - or even speak about such a thing - given the integrity/copyright of the mod?

Aye, people love brawling up there all the time. It usually ends up with everyone involved being rolled up in a huge ball of snow back at the bottom of the mountain though...

As for the burning desert, Herodotus recounts a Libyan tribe that concluded that the cause of their agricultural troubles was the South Wind that keeps covering their fields with sand. So they declared war on the South Wind, assembled all their war gear, and marched south into the desert and a big south wind blew them over with sand and buried them, ending the entire tribe.

Yeah, deserts are nice places to have battles too.

So faris, are you going to make Khartoum accesible? or maybe siwa with a road connection to Alexandria? those 2 are logical, and seeing as i cant do it, i thought id nag / beg / bother you about it (A)
