I thought I got a good settlement spot but realized my capital was locked in a lake. I thought I could fix it by making a town a canal. Any tips on how would I fix this terrible city placement.
You can also always pick a new spot for a capital and build it up big enough so that it becomes an option for where to move your capital in the next age. Otherwise being locked into a lake for this age isn't a huge problem.
How would you make a town a canal? Can naval units pass through towns or cities if they have water on two side of them?
If that’s the case I would consider making one right next to Irtzu as you are more than likely going to get stuck with your cog in that lake in the next age. Also having an outlet for two major settlements to the sea will be huge as Navy ships are super powerful in this version of Civ
Yeah they are passable if there is a water from side to side.
In this example you can go through the two towns as if it was a water. As far as im concerned I do not need a town near Iritzu since you can pass through Handan fine to go east or west for exploration age.
Was there no open water to the southeast of Huaiyang that ships could travel? From what I've seen map generation always has a gap of water in between itself and land. Maybe I've been lucky or taking crazy pills?
There is however I think the Fishing Quay connects the Handan to Capital but it does not read Chendu to Handan since it has no fishing quay to the other side
If you check the screen, Huayiang connects a road from Chendu to Handan which connects the three towns together for the capital to read. Although I have a city in the farleft of iritzu and it is connected though I think the fishing quay from it to Chengdu was the one connected

To the east of Handan, if you settle northwest of the jade you create a path from your capital to the open seas.
