does this include empowered spies? one scuba-diving scout should help determine where to attack with the rest of the army. the construct approach sounds good since i'm researching construction anyway, but i think i'll go with masses of shamblers. never really had a gold problem, and they cost only 1 resource per unit. should be enough to form the bridgehead. (or whatever they call it underwater )

and, yes, this is vs. AI.

If you got enough water gems income, it's cheaper to empower *one* mage to Water one and have him forge "Ring of Water Breathing" (5 gems, Construction 2) or as another person said, Shambler Skin Armor (also 5 gems, Construction 2). There are other items to get you into the water but they're probably out of easy reach for Ulm.
