I've just patched to the latest Beta, and I must say I am annoyed at the land bridges, particularly the one between England and France. The channel is was England's greatest defence, why take that away? Is it possible to remove them, and how would I do it?

It is possible by removing it from the adj-def file in map folder. The file itself should be quite self-explainable, simply remove the line with Calais-Kent strait comment. Visible part of the strait is coded in straits.csv, iirc these are coordinates values, you'll have to find out yourself which need to be removed if these bother you, it is not necessary to remove these to disable the actual strait though.

The adj-def file is in EUII*/map. Look about 2/3s of the way down to find the Kent-Calais straight reference.

He wants to know how to find the co-ordinates of the little rock graphics in the sea province which show the existence of the strait.

If I were you, I'd run a search for the information on here. I've seen it posted before. Kent-Calais is one strait very few people like.

I like it actually. You can block the straight with a fleet, making naval supremacy even more important for England. With or without a straight, France will have to get a larger fleet than England to invade Great Britain. The straight has the advantage that England can now actually enlarge it manpower by conquering land on the continent... certainly worthwhile if you ask me.

not only that but the game gets much better once you add land bridges to all mediterranean islands. baleares to barcelona, malta to sicily, corsica to liguria, sardinia to corsica, corfu to hellas, crete to morea, rhodes to anatalya and cyprus to adana. ai performs better.

Not only would the AI perform better Brownie, but at last you can diplo-annex those Island nations, pesky buggers one and all.

Otherwise I understand the whole concept of the land-bridge between Kent and Calais and I don't think it would be that much of a problem if you could get AI-England to defend that seazone. I have too often seen the French roll and 30K army up there to wreak havoc while the English "Home Fleet" sits at anchor in Anglia. Personally though I have to admit that I like the land-bridges.

Watching France and the other French minors, together with Scotland, divide the British Isles between them is reason enough to hate the land bridges imo.

Not to mention the fact that eg. Kent-Calais is grossly unrealistic.
