Default Why Water Cult could be fun or worth it

I fear that as well, but Dom2 would not be Dom2 if there would not be certain special case which warrants some usefulness to the weirdst of feature or creature... Gandalf???

So where are the experts that confirm that Illwinter has made the WaterCult rightly cost its design points? (In 2.14 it is 50, but I think with the Oceania mod enabled in 2.15 it is only 25 points. And doesn't the required magic scale cost additional 40 points as usual? or are there some nations that get discounts on these themes? I'll need to check that...) Otherwise for some wishful thinking, would it be too cheap to pay 50 design point to turn all national troops into poor amphibians within friendly dominion only?

The only real benefit that comes to my mind so far would be the possibility to go underneath the sea early one, which might be nice for maps with almost guaranteed access to the sea from the initial starting position...

Endropez made a point I am thinking about myself: if you depend on sacred units, one should go for a bless effect as well, while the water blessing means that the pretender can bring along non-sacred units...
