Aztec's Floating Gardens, bugged?

[Smokeybear]

The Floating Gardens tool tip says "must be built next to a river OR lake". Playing that civ for the first time today, so far I have observed that the game allows you to build a FG if your city is next to a river, or if your city is next to a river AND a lake, but NOT if your city is only next to a lake with no river present. So, logic to the contrary, a river seems to be mandatory in order to build a FG. Stupid, since all you should need is a lake, and rivers should be totally optional. Anyone else seen this?

And yes, the bodies of water are good lakes- totally enclosed by land, no outlets to seas or icepacks, and they are at least 20 or more tiles in size (would 1 or 2 tile 'ponds' qualify for this UB? Just curious).

If a 'lake' is more than 10 tiles large, then it is an inland sea with seawater instead of fresh water.

it's 10 or more (size 10 is sea - size 9 lake)

Curses! Foibled again. 10 tiles? Like Lake Superior is saltwater... seriously.

My mistake, thanks for cleaning that up.

I believe the Caspian Sea was the template. But in comparison with Lake Superior, the in-game inland sea should be at least 15-20 tiles large

You can always tell if you mouse-over, then it'll say lake or coast for instance

You can also build it if you settle next to an oasis, the oasis tile however does not get food bonus as a lake.
