Ships workaround?

[hardlysane 7]

I see that ships won't be in the game, but I think there are some workarounds that can be done. In AoH2, soldiers on water simulated ships, doing fighting there. What about making it so, that in AoH3 when armies submerge in water, they automatically change armies icon to that of a fleet and do everything the armies did, but on water? This way it won't harm the immersion, would be (as I think, not being a developer) kinda easy to make, will give way to more mechanics, such as sea invasions, and will answer community needs.
