I think that rather than creating alternative units for use underwater, we should just make existent units multifunctional. It's a shitty feel when half the units in your fac don't really work on a sea map. It makes for games where you feel you don't have many options. Entire amph game is basically mex+tidal+urchin+conch+duck+scallop. Sometimes you get to make buoys too. This is on top of maps having no features. There's just less decisions to make.

Fusion is pointless in sea since tidal is better in every way -> make it more efficient when submerged (because like science or something).

Grizz and buoy are sort of exactly the same in water -> give grizzly something else to do like submerged melee attack

Gauss can't be built in water -> make it both buildable and functional when submerged, but maybe cut regen/armor

Also urchins should not be allowed to be built on land. It's worse than skydust because even a small spire makes it invincible.
