Default Re: tactic vs underwater

Most water units fight badly (if at all) on land. And land units tend to fight badly in water. What I tend to do is build an army that can go into the water (constructs, undead, shamblers, whatever) and when a water-capable set of mercs come up I let that decide my timing.

I try to take one out of the way spot so I can start building up WATER units there. Dont keep marching forward and spread yourself too thin. It works best to try and take water provinces with water units.

Remember that any mage with a water magic skill can enter the water. If it has more than one water magic it can take another ait-breather (1 for each water point) with him.
