Map Mod Suggestion

[Psyckosama]

I have to make this suggestion because the lack of it in the basic version is just dumb.

It should be possible to walk from Denmark to Freesia. There's only a couple rivers in the way and both are on the same landmass. Plus it might make those two areas maybe a little less functionally isolated by giving them a connection.

that is why they invented something called "ships" 


you can pay passage on a port town or buy ships of your own

Ha-ha-ha. No.

The point is why should you need a ship... when you're dealing with two areas on the same bloody continent with only a couple rivers between them.

Moving an army by ship is a pain in the ass. Considering they're on the same LANDMASS you really should be able to walk.

maybe, maybe not 

You forget that the ingame map is not a real representation of the world. It was "compressed" so Norway would be closer to Britannia and thus reduce the time you need to travel by ship (otherwise you would spend 5-15 min just watching your ship making the cross)

You can mod the map and add a bridge easily if that is how you want it to be tho, check the forge on how to edit the map.txt and have fun

kalarhan, even in the real world you can walk from Frisia to Denmark...

But I agree, which is no wonder since I wrote something similar in another thread already quite some time ago.

In the real world you can sit on a chair up in the sky. Take a dump, read a magazine and reach Denmark in 20 minutes.

Both "parts" were separated because there is a river and we had interest to do this way so the storyline make sense.
The maps won't be changed.

"separated because there is a river"? Applies to lots of other places... And, "so the storyline make sense."? Really?

Anyway the map will not be changed, so, what's the point...

Did you play the storyline? If you can travel without a ship from Friese to Ribe then you would not need a ship in the story

Anyway the map will not be changed, so, what's the point...

you can change it in a few minutes by modding, check the Forge if you want to learn how. You will be surprised how easy is to modify things in a Warband game to fit your personal taste/vision

Enriador, I think he answer your question really good. Sorry for my previous short answer..
