Dudes with boats have been OP for the longest time. From the sea peoples to the Vikings to all of the major European colonial powers to the American Navy. With many more stops in between 😅

The Austronesians even abused this strat way before anyone else realized how strong it was.

Ever since the devs patched in the air power update it's not as bad as before. But still, land mains have been begging for a nerf to naval power for the longest time and the devs don't seem to care at all.

Continental powers:

guess we'll develop missile technology that can target a giant ass ship carrying planes from 100 km away.

AFAIK the boat dudes are countering that with lasers.

At least according to this entirely credible source.

Continental Powers:

then we'll build a global nuclear suicide option, that isn't a missile ... just the biggest, most enormous nuclear bomb that would be equivalent to having a world ending asteroid hit the planet and kill all our enemies, our friends and every living thing on the planet. It would be like being stuck in the same room with everyone and threatening everyone with the suicide bomb strapped around your chest that would blow up the entire house.

Just wait until the non-human Underwater People attack in 2027

I, for one, welcome our new non-human underwater people overlords.
