Oceania is designed for dom3 as a separate nation. Oceania is supposed to be somewhat stronger under water than the other two nations.

> How can Ryleh or Atlantis win against Oceania in earlygame ?

By being 2 vs one. This is of course not possible in dom2. So you'll have to come up with another solution. A big sea perhaps. You like huge maps IIRC. Two different seas? Poisoned weapons if you play atlantis vs oceania (it is not too difficult to replace R'lyeh instead of Atlantis).

Mind bLast vs knights perhaps. Tritons of your own with poisoned weapons. Loboguards. I dunno. Leave the sea. Get mindburn or paralyze.

Hmm, f9 blessing should not work under water. Burning weapons feels a bit out of place under water.

You MISCREANT! If with enough faith you can tell mountains to lift up, why couldn't you have weapons burning with holy fire under all circumstances, for God's sake?

Or just rub them with white phosphorus before entering combat underwater, for Mendeleiev's sake!

No you can't. They'd stare at you as if you were stupid. Mountains are very good at that.

Omigod, what a shocking revelation! Could Jaysus be that wrong?

Mount Rushmore is the only mountain in the USA capable of staring - perhaps the mountains in Europe are different?

they stare, just very slowly

It's very interesting that Oceania is implemented as a mod (Oceania is spelled wrong on the web page btw). I'd bet it's to preserve compatibility with ongoing games. Currently, I see few (no?) MP games that are played with purely modded nations (except for that only modded nation game of course), so I wonder if this addition would make modded nations show up more frequently in MP games.

Oceania seems to have the national heroes of Atlantis, which is pretty unthematic...

Maybe they'll just turn a blind eye at you.

Hm at least the flaming weapons icon is shown . And they get +4 to attack as well .

So probably they work underwater . It is hard to say though because they have 2 attacks + on first turn the lance attack / battle turn already .
So hard to tell if the flaming weapons are really in effect or not .
