I remember that one :) There's definitely a bug, where during very busy fights
some squares get tagged as impassable, even though there's no unit on it. It
happens on land as well, but bridges can sometimes become completely blocked
off.

I've found you can 'reset' a bugged sqaure by unloading off a 2x2 unit (like a
catapult or ballista) into a unbugged square such that the unit also covers some
bugged squares. Any bugged squares that it covers become debugged. Clear? :)

Actually, in that mission, I ended up deliberately blowing all the bridges on
the north side of the island in the river, and beating the snot out of his
coastline with galleons... this left my southern territory free to crank out
macemen (a good strong unit that only needs food) which I ferried across to the
enemy's territory in batches of 54 (I love galleons :) After clearing out a
sufficiently large area, I managed to establish some towers and a few barracks
and took it from there.

I haven't been able to get trade going either, but I suspect you need allies to
use it, and I haven't had much experience in such matters :)

AFAICT, there's no way to turn the bridge around :( If anyone knows better, I'd
be keen to hear from them too...
