Not really. You just need commanders that have Water 1+. Your own Pretender does not have to have it (though it may help in the very early stages of the game). When selecting a faith/nation to play, check what type of magic the recruitable mages can use, and act accordingly.

By the by, there are quite a few magic items you can make that give you and your troops water breathing. The best one allows up to 100 troops!

Look at your mage with random picks.
Death magic->Revive King is a cheap way to get a underwater commander too.

Some spells require a gem expenditure.
Furthermore gems can be used to increase the skill level of the casting mage.

What the? How do you take control?

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.

OG from the army setup page you can set custom battle orders.

I have a question for the forum also. How exactly does temple dominion effect radiate? For example, does it radiate to all neighbor provinces at half strength? (This would make the ocean provinces on the world map the best temple spots with their 10+ neighbors.) Temple effect seems to radiate beyond the immediate neighbors, but at increasingly diminished effect. Does anyone know the exact numbers?

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".
