How do I trigger bridge battles?

[Hartmann]

I'm being pursued by a large khuzait army near Makeb, and I'd like to even the odds by using the bridges near the city to defend myself better. The thing is, I can't for the life of me trigger the bridge map, no matter the position of my army on the campaign. I tried all 3 bridges near Makeb (the one right beside it and the two up north) I always get a plain map with no bridge (hell, not even a river) in sight. Is it bugged? Do the armies have to be in some special position?

There are different battle maps across the world, and moving just a little may at most change the starting positions on the current battle map you're on.

If you current battle map area does not have a bridge, you should move a significant distance to perhaps find one that does.

I can't recall ever actually fighting near Makeb, so I can't help you as to the particulars of what the maps look like around that area.

EDIT: Not that it's helpful in your current situation, but perhaps the most well known and best bridge battle area is the area around Epicrotea.

Well, after reloading about 30 times, trying every combination possible on every bridge near Makeb (my army on either side of the river, in the middle of the bridge, at some distance from it, etc...) I came to the conclusion that the devs must have forgotten to implement bridge battles on that portion of the campaign map.
No epic chokepoint battle for me :(

Each province has their own battlemap. If you didn't get a bridge battle near Makeb, then there just isn't one there unfortunately.

Are you using mods? What game version?

The battle terrain system [techraptor.net] looks something like that linked there.

Just as a guide to what sort of distances you have to travel to see any kind of change in the map. But again, I haven't battled near Makeb near enough to be able to say what sort of maps they are.

I suggest creating a bug report in the tech forum and add a screenshot of the area where you are unable to get a bridge battle.
