Experienced Seafarers?

[Eldrin]

I have already played the game through twice on hard mode and have yet to see a single "Naval Unit", anyone seen these mythical units? If not then wtf is the point of this trait even?

Build a shipyard, then you can access them.

You mean kraken and such? Yeah, I fight them often.

On my first game i had a city that had its domain in the sea but i never had that option? Does the city have to be built on the coast, simply expanding domain to it is not enough?

Expanding the domain suffices.

See section Harbor for Naval units. Then you just need to build a shipyard in the city which has a harbor.

You need to build a fishery on a water tile, that should unlock the shipyard for building :- )

I see this a lot.
I hope they manage to make the sea warfair good.
I still recall how useless ships where in age of wonders 3.

I do not think so. Naval battles are... easier land battles at worst. I am not even sure yet if it is worth to have naval units, unless your opponent has them too. Being able to use your normal land units like normal on sea made it feel like a weird choice so far.

Oh ok, so it is a special province upgrade, i never actually expanded into the sea only the coast, usually you need to be on coast to make naval units not in actual sea.

Like seeing into a mirror... Definitely unused potential of the game.
