May move through but NOT remain on territory
-
Hej there, just working on a new project and
puzzling with some basic map features: ( in this case "rivers")wondering if it is possible that
a land unit may cross a certain terr. but may not end in it?would that be possible? ( also in a way that AI can handle it...)
I tried a way to demotivate remaining in a river terr. by giving
a big battle penalty to a unit but that didn't seem to impress AI so that's why looking for other possibilities...thanks!!!

Connect the land territories directly, leaving the intervening "river" as water. Both land territories can still be connected to the "river" to allow transport loading and unloading.
Cheers...

@wc_sumpton
that is a way, nice.... and secondary (the idea behind it I forgot to mention) : how could such a move, a land unit visually crossing a river, ( which is then actually 2 regular connected land terr's ) a movement penalty? -
Thought you would ask that. No there is no way at this time to set a movement penalty between two territories. A territoryEffect movement penalty is entering a territory for all adjoining territories, and thus would not work here.
Sorry...
Cheers...

@ebbe I think this would be a very useful and easy to implement feature request, and I would certainly use or consider using such an option.
My suggestion, is adding a territory option like
<attachment name="territoryAttachment" attachTo="1" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TerritoryAttachment" type="territory"> <option name="isUnoccupiable" value="true"/> </attachment>The "isUnoccupiable" option has the same effects as the "isImpassable" option but allows moving through (yet not retreating into) the territory.
I hope such a feature will be added.
