There's no way to fix that, it's just the way the texures look. Use a bridge_blender object on the seam, or just make a land bridge.

You should just make ground bridges :D They're easier to handle in the longrun. Not sure how to fix your problem though :/

Set the LMB mode of the Heightmap Editor to "Set Value". Raise the terrain like you want it and in the end, adjust the height of the bridge using the H key + pressed left mouse button.

The texture problem is also easy to solve:



Use a Tile underneath the road that fits, grass textures don't look good in combination with cobblestone roads. I recommend Dirt\Dirt_Country_Road here.
Next step is recreating the dark lines on the bridge to appear also on the normal ground. To do this, you place the Spline nm_tracks\foot_path_01 (width=2) and select "Colorize" to the right. You may apply following settings:



You can also add the cobblestone line as a border to the mainland, use this: stone_road\bia_cobble_stone_border_03 (width=2)
You don't need to change the color/alpha settings here.

You need to place one of the ebps\gameplay\starting_position_0X, the number doesn't decide about the objects owner, it just describes the variants (1 and 2 are rural HQs, 3 and 4 urban, 5 and 6 industrial, 7 and 8 holland).
You need to assign these starting positions to a player, you can do this to the right, world is the default setting, change it to player 1 and player 2 for both starting positions. You'll also need to do that to the object ebps\gameplay\map_entry_point.

Hello Fishhunterx,

What do you mean by "I check skirmish maps"? In WB or ingame?
