lakes nerfed?

I was also suprised, back when Civ V was announced, that they still had work boats, as I assumed the task could just be done by embarked Workers. But I guess for the Fishing Boats improvement, it makes sense, as it's not really something a worker could "build", but rather a unit that's permanently assigned to a resource node.

The Offshore Platform, on the other hand, is a different matter.

The bigger issue is getting those work boats to water tiles that aren't adjacent to a city or connected to a water tile that is.

Maybe we should be able to embark work boats on land.

In fact, sticking this thread into my "stuff to mod latter/useful" folder for that and to make the distinction between lakes and seas clearer.

Lakes do benefit from lighthouses but you can't build lighthouses on lakes. You have to build next to an ocean tile and still have the lake in the city's radius.

What I am saying is that this entirely is not the case since GaK. Cities on the salt water coast with a lighthouse AND a lake within the city radius do not give lake tiles any bonus. It really should, making lake tiles somewhat useful. I'm not sure if this was a purposeful change or by accident. I haven't checked this out since the Fall Patch though.
