bridge battles?

[soontir fel]

do they exist? just had an army camped on the end of a bridge and got attacked but didnt get a bridge battle

[Ashardalon]

there are a few bridge maps
but map selection is based on province, not army placement
so you can have a bridge fight near the northwest of the darklands while nowhere near a bridge

[soontir fel]

thats rather silly. who came up with that idea?

[Ashardalon]

pretty sure campaign map locations reflecting battlemaps hasnt been a thing for a long time
maybe even as far back as shogun2 being the last one
they claim that maps would be too boring when done like that, preferring the custom made maps
it is sad that its no longer a thing, it would ad some depth to an otherwise pretty irrelevant campaign map

[soontir fel]

ya I guess strategically positioning your army in the mountains or on a bridge is a pretty boring way of deciding if you get a good map. that makes a lot of sense

Probably to make multiplayers happy. They lose to zombies. So you can imagine it's quite the shock when they have to deal with any sort of terrain. Probably why most of the maps are flat and boring

Chokepoint battles are definitely a thing in WH2. It seems that some of the spots on the campaign map in WH3 just aren't programmed correctly.

There's a few i've seen in warhammer 3 but not many. Not exactly a bridge battle though

Oh, I'm not sure about "bridges" specifically, but in WH2 if your army is parked next to a bridge on the campaign map, their battle map will be some sort of choke point.

Attila. 3K might have had them too.
It was dropped with warhammer 1 in favor of premade stuff. And that was and still is a terrible decision. Generating battlemaps from the campaign-terrain was the entire point of the 3D campaign-map in the first place when it launch with rome1, not just look pretty, having some premade maps just devalues the whole thing.

They need to make alot of maps then, since the map changes alot with all the corruption going around.

?

Making maps is what they are doing now so I dont know what you are getting at. Auto-generated terrain like we used to have in the past would have included various steps of corruption just as it used to include slightly different placements & seasons.
