1 Ship factory has, on top of raider/riot/skirmisher, a surface vs. underwater dimension. In the context of just the ship factory this is kind of ok, but mostly probably a throwback to C&CRA. 1 Ship factory has, on top of raider/riot/skirmisher, a surface vs. underwater dimension.

3 Then amph comes in and breaks everything because their entire lineup can move (and sometimes fight) underwater. They can even build their factory underwater. Ship options to fight them are instantly limited to 3/8 units. In the other direction, pretty much every amph unit that shoots can hit surface ships and of the two that can shoot underwater, one happens to be a really useful riot that doesn't have much trouble killing Seawolf at cost. 3 Then amph comes in and breaks everything because their entire lineup can move (and sometimes fight) underwater.

5 Statistics and anecdotes aside, it's not much *fun* to fight amphbots as ships. They don't even units that can shoot underwater to have a complete raider/riot/skirmisher interplay. When ships win the matchup it's probably mostly by spamming Siren because that's almost all you can do against Scallop attack moving on top of your stuff. When they start using Lobster it's even less fun. What's the counter to Lobster, Newton? Only shoots at surface targets, and is pretty weak at pushing floating amphbots. 5 Statistics and anecdotes aside, it's not much *fun* to fight amphbots as ships.

7 By the way, there's a bug preventing Newton from shooting at Archer under any conditions. 7 By the way, there's a bug preventing Newton from shooting at Archer under any conditions.
