(NAB) Coastal Square 2

[vedoreus]

How is it possible then that i was able to irrigate from a coastal square, something wich is only possible from rivers and fresh water lakes?
I have uploaded the saved gamefile

You didn't post a link to the savegame.

Two ideas:

You have discovered electricity (you don't need fresh water to irrigate anymore)
That tile is next to a city that is next to irrigations/a river. For the purpose of fresh water, a city square is considered irrigated.

How do i send you a saved game?

If this is the irrigated square near Arnhem you are referring to, then it is next to a small (one tile) freshwater lake.

Civpedia entry for Fresh Water Lake:

So if i right-click on that square it should said Fresh Water Lake not this..!

The civilopedia is clear about it.

No, any enclosed body of water is a fresh water lake. That's a lake, even though it says coast.

As long as a group of coastal tiles is less than 21 tiles, and is enclosed by land, then it's a lake.


Look at this diagram:
L = Land
C = Coast

LCL
CCC

That Coast in the center is a lake, since the land connects on the diagonals.

That isn't a lake, since the islands are 1 tile too far from each other.

This isn't a bug BTW.
