I would like to know more about HotA; someone should make a review.
the normal use of the sea as a full-fledged zone is among the plans, which is quite natural, in HotA, even now, to the detriment of the Sea of Soda, a handful of objects have been added (an observation tower, a tavern, seers, banks, a prison, etc.), and it has become a little more meaningful (although there is still probably no point in generating random water). But the sea as Water is, in principle, a murky concept from the very beginning.
But if we talk about the sea as a full-fledged landscape and zone - let's say, as a replacement for sand - then it makes a lot more sense. But "infrastructure" will be needed in any case, a lot of new objects will be required, mainly duplicating the land ones. But this really needs to be done; the sea can refresh the familiar templates, and Jebus will play differently.
A new type of city and the Dock faction (number 9) with all the necessary elements.
The native land of the Dock is the Swamp. After building the Guiding Star (when placing the Grail), the creatures of the Dock move across any land without penalties, receive +1 to attack, defense, and speed everywhere, see mines in any battle, but the siege of the Dock still takes place in the Swamp.

The graphics or properties of some other creatures have also been changed.
New combat machine: Cannon
It is placed in the slot for the Ballista. It is purchased in the Forge of the Dock city. Cost: 5000. It can attack both enemy units and its fortress walls. It disappears from the hero's inventory when destroyed in battle.
General gameplay innovations
Negative luck has been introduced.
Creatures in battle without a hero can now be affected by luck and bad luck.
Heroes with a starting army always have all its stacks (and the combat machine), without the random possibility of any of them being missing.
Fixes for bugs and shortcomings of SoD
The infinite ammunition of attacking combat machines (Catapult, Ballista, Archer Tower, Cannon) has been fixed.
A code error has been fixed, due to which, for the Fairy Dragon, the chances of casting spells were taken as their numbers, and not the values of the chance.
And much, much more.
