That's not a bug with the spell. Land borders between ports are just like regular land borders, they are not considered at all. It is a mapmaking decision.

I'm pretty sure that the various forms of teleportation ignore it as well, so depending on who you are fighting and how much research they have it might not be effective.

Yeah I know that it isn't a bug with the spell but it still BUGS me

I have, in the past, cast the spell hoping to provide protection from another land based opponent only to find they can move from "harbour" to "harbour". I wonder whether it would be possible to add a map command to simulate this kind of province to province link ?

I am also sure you can teleport through it - but I wonder whether you can cloud trapeze through the ice pack (pictures kitted out tartarian punching though the ice on landing).

I'm one of the best knowing the map edit commands and unfortunately no such map command exists.

I recall doing just this in an MP game, but I'd check it before counting on it. Memories get spotty with time.
