Beating underwater nations
How do you go about beating underwater nations in 1on1 MPs (e.g. Ryleh vs. Whomever)?
The story so far is that I rose to Boron's challenge to play Ryleh vs. his Oceania on a small water-based map (Yalun To was chosen). Turned out Ryleh wasn't quite as hopeless against the fast fishy flyers as was thought.
But then we started replaying with different nations. And I just dont see how an underwater nation is really threatenable by a land nation until quite late, at least on maps with decent amounts of water.
I tried doing it in SP and figured: If anything, then Death or Water will help, and at best, both death and water. So I chose Ctis Miasma, which I think is great fun, and played it human-vs-human vs Ryleh in SP with some tiny other AIs around, but Ryleh just lays the smackdown way too early.
So how does one go about beating a water nation? Is it just a choice of maps? (And if so, which one would you suggest for a smallish MP game?)
