Didn't the Aztecs have lakes they considered sacred? Not sure.

It would definitely make your city planning more flexible.

Religion, espionage, and how it trickles into the diplomatic game. c: And playing the Celts.

Has it been said anywhere what that ability is? Just curious.

I've had Robert E. Lee as Japan around 2500 BC, so I'd say that's probably just a coincidence.
