[Bug]Parts of Map Inaccessible

from Elemental Forums

I came across this in a game this morning. A chain of mountains blocked all access to a section of the map. Here is a screenshot:

It's hard to tell from the pic, but the mountains continue down a little ways until they hit water again. Basicly there is a penisula blocked off entirely by mountains. Also, if you look closely, you can see a red border at the top next to my white border, so apparently some unlucky AI started behind those mountains and can't really do anything.

I don't think this has been reported yet, but there are way too many bug posts to scroll through, and a quick search yielded nothing.

Not a bug, it's a feature.

Wait for the flight spell, *grin*

Well then I think that particular "feature" should be disabled until we get the magic system:P

Making a random map that ensures that all areas are reachable is actually a bit of work. I'm sure they will get to it when they get serious with map generation.

Taking something out can be just as much of a source of bugs as putting something in.  The less changes the better, for stability.

I meant that more of as a joke than anything else:P Besides, how do we *know* it's a feature and not a bug with the random map generator?;P
