[NOT A BUG][1.135] Scout cannot swim in lake

[Mercade]

The map I'm playing is a random tiny mountenous terrain. On the edge there is water, which is classified as lake. However, my scout refuses to swim in it to go around Tokyo. I have optics (but not yet Astronomy) and units do properly swim in lakes that are proper lakes (that is, with land on all sides).

It seems to me there is something wrong with the labeling. I can move onto the ice on the northwest, so it's not beyond the edge of the map. If it's not a lake, then it should be coast and I should still be allowed to swim in it, no?

Here is a link to the save file that shows the same.

After you research optics you need to move your pre-existing units into your territory for them to earn the embark promotion. It doesn't look to me like your scout has the promotion, so he probably hasn't been in your boarders since you learned optics.

Good point. You're probably right. I'll check it and report back.

CCCV is right. My mistake. The scout didn't have the promotion. Please delete this thread or mark it as not-a-bug.
