I second that, i also noticed that Veruna ships have an alarming (almost game breaking) weakness to submerged enemies (kraken and swamp beast for instance), the projectiles cannot penetrate the water surface it seems.
Nah, they will be shredded to ribbons against my many towers and flying ranged units. Once the AI runs into an area where you can bottleneck them the AI cannot pathfind for shit. One cannon blast will make 13 of them explode into a rain of poorly rendered 3D gore.
Actually, an experienced player can defeat Veruna fleets by striking them before fully established on sea. Furthermore, Veruna has no disadvantage on land. Sure, its ground units have poor visibility but this can be solved with the assistance of Parrots. Finally, Veruna ground units are very cost-effective, though not as powerful as Aramon ones.
