EA Oceania - Knight of the deep too good?

On that note, I fully support any item that would allow aquatic troops to go above-water. It would mean the most to Oceania and Rlyeh (EA each)

Yeah I'd like to see that item. A barrel of water would make as much sense as barrel of air does.

Both EA Oceania & Rlyeh have national amphibians to hire in mass to access land & conquer indys, like an island, even early in the game. Most land nations require gems and research just to get into the water, even a small lake, unless they happen to get lucky with indy provinces.

An Amulet of the Fish is twice as many gems as a Ring of Waterbreathing, so using that scale a barrel of water would cost 25W + 25A gems, but at that difficulty even a 65W might be preferred.

I haven't dove into the sea nations yet, but do aquatics with the amulet of fish get the same penalties on land that non-aquatics get in water?

Water nations already have a huge advantage in the form of the sea barrier to protect them. I think its fine that they not be allowed to bring their best troops out of the water.

Seconded! But a disband command to get rid of unwanted aquatic freespawn (or other units) would be nice.

I'm playing LA R'yleh in a 3.10 game, and I have this odd feeling that the amount of aquatic only freespawn has been reduced significantly. I was expecting to cart around lots and lots of the little buggers to die, but that just hasn't materialized at all. I have played LA R'yleh two times before, in earlier versions.
