How do I attack the water provinces? (and other q's)

I prefer to make Shambler Skin Armor - same effect as Ring of Water Breathing, but it also gives some protection. And then there's pills of water breathing - Air magic, and much earlier than the Barrel.

The pills let the commander enter the sea? It isn't in the manual - it only talks about soldiers, which I assumed meant commanded troops.

Beats me, I guess I was assuming to much. If it were me, I'd probably take one of the pills myself even if it were labeled "Troops Only".

The Amulet of Breathing is Air 2 and will also grant water-breathing to its wearer.

I haven't tried the pills on a commander either, come to think of it . . .

Isn't Sea of Ice supposed to prevent travel between the sea and land? I was hoping it would save my bacon from the undead, but it doesn't seem to do what it says it should, i.e. units can still move from land to sea, sea to land, sea to sea as they could before. And now we're all going to be consigned to an eternity of skeleton-hood.

Also, and I don't think this was my imagination, when I gave the pills to a commander who didn't have water-breathing, he was able to submerge but was only able to bring nine troops with him instead of the full ten. Which certainly makes sense.
