Lake Victoria not counting for Floating Gardens = bad for Montezuma
but...
Lake Victoria giving +12 to Spain = bad for everyone

Well, there are saltwater lakes too you know
Not sure about real life lake Victoria though.
It seems that with the 1.0.3.70 patch, Lake Victoria provides fresh water and is "see-through"-able. It still doesn't receive +2 food from the Aztec Floating Gardens (but one could argue that Natural Wonders should provide fixed yields, except for Spain).
When building gardens etc. it counts as a lake, but surprisingly units cannot embark into it.
I noticed the other day when I was playing that I couldn't embark on the Great Barrier Reef either. I was trying to work a fish tile and my work boat was not able to access the tile.
It is called "barrier" reef, after all.
( I have no idea whether it actually blocks shipping traffic or not. Just saying..)
it counts as source of fresh water. pretty sure the game considers it to be a lake.
