==The art of making LandBridges==
A lot of people complain about this type of bridge, but until we have proper bridges (and maybe boats) they are our only way to connect two landmasses.
===Find best place===
The best place for a landbridge is the shortest distance between 2 shores, but it is better being in a straight line than going diagonal.
===Water Depth===
Depth of water is a big factor as dirt "flows" when a slope get to 40 (4 meters), what i mean by "Flow" is that the dirt will slide down the slope until it gets to a lesser slope.
As part of planning a LandBridge, it maybe a good idea to estimate the number of cartloads required. This should be easy, all you have to do is work out how many dirt you need to drop on each corner of the tiles to raise it above water level. Note don't take into account the dirt flow.
===Example: Vires LandBridge===
So for the Vires LandBridge, the depth was, on average, 70 dirt (less than 2 cartloads), and the bridge was/is 30 tiles long.
Enough of deciding what type of LandBridge to go for... Here is how to do one
==How to do it==
<ol><li>Single Tile width (wasting dirt!)</li>
When tiles 5 and 6 are above water, repeat the process by moving along one tile
</ol>
===Notes=======Flattening in water...====
<ul><li>The maximum that someone can flatten is 3 * their skill level - So for someone with 20 skill their max would be 60 dirt (6 meters)</li>
