Pesky Land Bridge connecting gondor and harad

[werawulf]

I am at my wits end trying to remove this land bridge. The only problem is that when i open the tga file, it doesnt actually appear to be a river crossing or land bridge. I have only moderate experience. I post this here because honestly I'm out of ideas and if I post it in a more general modding area, the relativity will be lost since this is for a mod.

Hope I can get some help and thanks for any offered in advance.

Although your question is about a submod, it requires some specific mapping knowledge and therefore you might get more help in here:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=275
Meanwhile you could use the search function (which is actually your best friend on this site ) and try to do it yourself:

Land bridges are represented as green lines in the map_features file. Simply delete the line (hope yo know the approximate location) by over-painting with black (RGB value 0,0,0) - back up is advised.
Once you have removed the landbridge and saved map_features you need to delete map.rwm for the change to take effect in the next game. Please note that doing this and starting a saved game might have some weird graphic graphics effects on the strat map

yea thanks for the help guys but i figured it out. It turns out its not actually a land bridge. It seems that because the islands are so close together it allows units to walk over it, though I really dont know. All i had to do was to remove one of the 3 islands and poof no crossing. thx for the replies tho.

That was the way land bridges were created in RTW - in those olden days they didn't have the green line option.
