EA Oceania - Knight of the deep too good?

Nope. There aren't actually any items which allow aquatic creatures onto land, surprisingly.

Unless I'm mistaken and they've been removed since Dom 2, amulets of the fish allow aquatic creatures to go on land.

Welcome back Graeme

I think Llama meant there is no item which allow troops (the knights of the deep) to enter land.

[llamabeast]

I did, yep - rather loose wording there on my part.

[archaeolept]

hey, nothing stops you from gift of reasoning them... ;p

[Zeldor]

ALL of them?

[VedalkenBear]

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)

[Sombre]

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

Commanders, not troops.

The diference between the barrel of air and barrel of water is why these fishies can't leave the water. The humans with the barrel of air simply need something to breath, but many of the aquatic-only troops have fish tails and such that makes them immobile on land. The Amulet of Fish shouldn't even work on these guys, since they need a way to move on land, not just to breath.

on that note, what does a Knight of the Deeps leader look like on land?

[thejeff]

He looks the same. In theory the Amulet of the Fish turns the air around them into water, allowing them to swim. Thinking about that too deeply raises all sorts of problems.

It would make far more sense to just claim it allows them to swim in air as well as breath it.
