Yeah I said earlier I knew about Optics. The point is your troops movement speed is fucking dyer if you're using land troops to go across water. When I played civ rev you could load up land troops onto submarines and battleships. Then you'd have the movement speed of whatever ship they're on board. Meaning you can actually move them somewhere in reasonable time. In this game you can only move the troop itself into water, and it takes a fucking age to get them anywhere. I think you can only move them in shallow water too. Basically, you can't move land troops long distances over sea. Which is unrealistic.
