Azure mages not granting waterbreathing?
 

In description of azure mage, it saying "azure mages are granted the ability to enter the deeps and can extend this power to others". I read this as azure mage can bring troops with him under water, just like sea father. However, he cannot do that. Maybe an oversight?

I think in Dom2 water mages could lead people into the water or something. Now they (in general) can't.

Re: Azure mages not granting waterbreathing?
 

I think it's description from older versions of Dom where any water mage could bring troops underwater

Re: Azure mages not granting waterbreathing?
 

Yes, any mage could bring the amount of troops equal to his skill in water magic

I'm not sure if these are on the bug list as description errors? Or if they should be?
It would be nice if the descriptions were updated, since there are still a few mages who can and it would be good to be able to use the descriptions as a clue. An icon would be best :)

Sea King on the other hand refuses to take more than 15 troops with him under water [and he has 40 leadership]. I can confirm Azure Mages not being able to get troops underwater.

I would so like to have this ability put back in the game. I'm not sure why it was nerfed in the first place.

Unfortunately this was removed without providing any other options for computer opponents. Within DOM_2 the computer land opponents with water magic would eventually move into water provinces. Now almost all computer land opponents remain stuck on land.

If you go making all water mages into amphibians, you do realise niefel will utterly *****slap the water nations in EA right?

Re: Azure mages not granting waterbreathing?
 

Well said. After all, several nations use water magic mostly as "ice" magic, so it would be both unthematic and unbalancing to give them natural water breathing. They get an easy access to water anyway, through items and the easiest chance (except water nations, which wouldn't use it anyway) to Thetis' Blessing.
