Lakes

A dumb question:

how do you make lakes in a custom map?

There is not way to do that at the moment, apart from changing the land borders. We'll try to add a separate tool for lakes in the future.

You can use no-go zones for lakes, unless you're planning to have ports on them

So how do you make a lake shape using the country borders, like you guys did with canada?

With Canada I believe they just traced through the St. Lawrence river.

The default map was made in Adobe Illustrator

Imma revive this topic so that it might gain traction. I want lakes to be a part of Atwar as well. It has been five years gosh darn it!

but you can add them now?

Nah you still can't.
If you have a lake completely inside of a country, obviously, if it is inside of the borders any unit can move across it. Nothing has changed about that, ever.

Are you people fucking serious? Of course you can make lakes in a custom map.

All you do is trace an area around where you want it. if you want it to appear as water then you'll have to make a custom map and have the map have a link in it, then trace around it and any cities next to it make it a port.
