Not many AI opponents are effective at taking sea provinces... not sure if this has changed with Dominions_3.
You may want to stick with a land nation or make sure Ermor and Atlantis are in the game to keep it challenging.
however if the ai gets the mercs the fishermen and gets a foothold in water they can be awkward to shift (if they get 2-3 sea provinces they just mass tritons and swarm you) but you should be able to handle it.

I've always been able to out bid the AI opponents for mercenaries... very very very rarely do they place a bid which steals them. Hopefully the AI will be more effective bidding on the mercenaries for dominions_3.
