Big problem with a map

[Jon von]

I tried to make a "coastal city" map as Alrowan's City of Acre. It was all perfect but, dunno why, after I saved it the sea of the map became a river (the program started to consider it a river). Why did this happen? Can I convince the program that the water area I made is to be a sea and not a river?

hmm.. sounds intersting. Im not 100% sure what constitutes a river, but i think that if you have a body of water that spans the width of the map then it becomes a river (left to right)

try making the coastal part of your map on the right side, dont let this touch the left side. I hope this helps

thank you. I'll try. then I'll post ...

Problem solved. You were right, Alrowan. I added a land strip from a "mole" of the city to the border of the map. Now the body of water is a sea..
Thank you pal

no worries, if you look at my arce map there should be a finger of land like your as well
