Map glitches (I saw Germany land move from Koln to Dover
Through Belgium I suspect, as Dover does connect there (and Lille), as is stated in the game notes.

Land units seem to be able to move through during non-combat movement. It is supposed to be an air-only link.

This is player enforced, as the is nothing in the xml doing otherwise. The AI can move though during both combat/non-combat movement.

Support of air-only links would a useful improvement of the game.

Where is the option that restricts this to air units only?

@rogercooper said in Roger's Scenario Thread:

Air units (and subs) can use canals without restrictions, the object here is to permanently restrict land units, so by setting landTerritories to an impassable territory that cannot be captured, no alliance will ever possess, so land units will never be allowed to cross.
Can use "excludedUnits" if you want, but the default is all air and subs.
Hope that explains how this works.

I think that this game has truly dramatic stack numbers issues which really ruin it for PvP. I would add that this is particularly bad for a FFA because in such games you tend to try to conserve your forces a lot more than in the usual two-sides ones.
I wonder if this is the worst game of TripleA in this regard?

I have seen worse mods in this regard, but I don't recall the exact mod off the top of my head.
There is lot of potential in this mod, but is has issues that need to be resolved. Any mod covering pre-industrial conflicts needs to have some method of limiting army sizes, such as upkeep costs, stacking limits or build caps.
