It seems natural that the small lakes and Lochs around the map have fish in them and be usable for water sov. Maybe they wouldn't get to the same level of food that coastal sov has, but it seems like there should be some food available there. 


PS. Sorry if this subject has already been brought up.

That, or maybe have special fish resources for crafting/food conversion.

There's some advantage to having an inaccessible square next to your city - it cannot be used to siege you. 

AFAIK making something sov'able also makes it siege'able (horrible language I know) which is not necessarily a good thing.

I think you're right but the door is already open with the ocean / sea sov squares imho ... that is, if you can sov/siege from a beach front on an island surely it would make sense to be able to  sov/siege from a beach front on a lake?+1 to this request please :)

Isn't that sort of a place holder till we get ships (if?), so unless you're building a navy in a lake...

Anyone see a reason that a lake couldn't have food? The sieging issue might be a part of why lakes can't be claimed for Sov, but in reality they should still be able to provide food. I guess that is unless they are lakes without outlets like The Dead Sea or The Great Salt Lake in the US.

if you can't claim sov then any food resource on the square won't matter...  You need the sov to use the 'fishing' sov tech on them. Maybe in reality there are no fresh water fish in Illy? :P
