Bridge Crossing.

So, in my map theres a bridge and nearby is an alternate route to take to get to the other side of the bridge. Now the bridge is very small but i've tested and the unit i want to cross it can cross it fine. But I've found that if theres a nearby alternate route that isnt so squished the unit will take it instead and make the bridge seem useless. This happened before and i fixed it by making the bridge wider but in this case i dont want to make the bridge wider, it would ruin the atmosphere. So, how would i make the unit cross the bridge.

I've tried messing around with the bridge tiles which only resulted in the unit crossing it half way then turning back.

Heres the bridge.

If the AI doesn't want to go over it, it won't. A lot of units have the room to pass over terrain but don't due to pathing. There isn't a whole lot you can do about it either.

I suggest finding a means of not-visibly "Squishing" the other path, like you mentioned before. Perhaps some DTs are in order?

yeah i tried that, it just got confused. But i fixed it anyway by just messing with the bridge.

WeirdoX4857 -- I can't believe this is really been around since 2003 but it does look classic and old asf still better than talking to kids on discord ranting about skibidi toilet and sexuality or whatever mental illness is going on in their heads

NudeRaider -- I bet it just needs another training session against pros instead of only against itself and nobody will be able to stop it anymore.

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
