I played a bit around with Finalsun and tried to make a small snow map.
The problem is that the ice doesn't grow as expected. Beside of a small area, the ice doesn't grow anywhere else.
The pic shows the area in which ice grows.
at the start:
a bit later:
It is surrounded by Ice 01 open water cells, but it doesn't grow farther.

I also copied the small section into an Ice 02 and Ice 03 field, but the same result.
Ice 02

later:
Ice 03

Does anyone has an idea why this happens?

Another question
Is it possible to make Ice melt during the day and grow in night? (while day-night-loop)

Something has gone horribly, horribly wrong.

I tried to follow your advice, Aro, and I widened and "peninsulated" the ice shores in the picture I had shown before. Nothing changed. I looked at few WW maps with growing ice, and noticed that the special water ice tiles are all the same in a specific "growing area". So, I replaced all other special tiles with ice02 special tile. Nothing new. I also noticed that the destroyed ice doesn't grow back, but units can cross it :O

Now, the crazy sh*t happened:

I made a closed pool of water for testing, 12x12 in size. I divided it into three strips, and filled each one with different ice tiles (for example, strip one with ice01 special tiles, and appropriately large, ready ice shores). I tested it in the game. Nothing! The ice did not grow! I then completely surrounded the area with ice shore, widened the shores, and tested again. The game f*cking crashed! I get internal errors everytime I try to run the map!

I uploaded a picture from the pool that made the map unplayable!
