I'm just utterly failing to understand the proposed niche for the Kraken. It doesn't do anything for the Water nations, who already had enough power to crush a non-underwater nation going for them in the oceans. And it's aquatic, which means the land nation needs to already have a way to take water provinces and hold them for a few turns...and if you can do that, why on earth do you need a Kraken?

Aethyr, it's that if you have a pretender with A4(a good breakpoint anyways) you can suddenly have other high air casters, where that wasn't possible before. It allows you to project air buffs in multiple places(and without endangering your pretender!) which flatly wasn't possible before.
