Not lava rock, which I use in places, but mountainous rock that could be used in place of lava/snow/swamp. Would this have to be an add-on? There have been places on my maps where the current uncrossable terrains have had to be used but were rather inappropriate to the idea I had, Thoughts anyone ? The aussies are coming, ya ho! ya ho!

I don't know how it's implemented, but as a a player I see it's there, so you could look how it's done in the context of that scenario (without an add-on). Top Quote

I haven't yet played the frisian campaign so I'll give it a go and keep an eye on it. Thanks for the info, if it is what I need I'll study it, if not it may give me an idea how to dot this without an add-on The aussies are coming, ya ho! ya ho! Top Quote

It's a scenario defined terrain type, so basically the same as an add-on. Top Quote

It should take time to dig and require timber and / or rock for structural work. We would need to set the start and end points at the outset. Depending on the terrain we would recover rock and perhaps water. A tunnel would allow us to transverse mountains that do not allow for building of roads.

While I kike the idea of tunneling, I don't think it is in the same spirit as the rest of the game. Yes, in one case it is reasonably in the techonological range , but I can't see either barbarians, sumatrans or amazons doing this, it's not really in thier skill set. The empire, on the other hand may be able to do it as they are loosely based on the Romans. Not sure a bout who the Frisians are actually based on but I can't see them doing it either.
