Default Re: Will Oceanians ever lose \"poor amphib.\" on land?

If that's what he's saying, it doesn't look to me like he is correct. None of my Oceanians have any penalties either on land or on sea (except that some can't come onto land at all, because they can't grow legs). The icon is misleading for the units that change shape when they come onto dry ground, but it has no actual negative effect. It's more like disinformation for the enemy, who might expect, say, a Wave Warrior, to be a poor fighter underwater, when they see his legged form on land - but they have no penalties on land, and when they go underwater, they change shape into a fishtailed shape that also has no penalty underwater.

I double-checked, and I am wrong. Attributes do change (movement goes way down, for example, when on land), but there don't appear to be any poor amphib penalties per se. The different attributes appear to be a function of the different shape on land--a whole separate stat base than the form for the undersea version of the unit.
