My idea to increase the orcs naval power orc gigantic units like ettin and cave troll allow to wade on water. But there speed will be decreased like the undead.

I agree for gigantic units, but just in low water (the light blue one)
I think that in colored water they could have a penalty of -1 to speed
Units affected could be Ettin, Hamletback, Troll, Both Elephants

But not both elephants because humans already have strong navies. By the way I don't think elephants can go that deep.

Only shallow water tough

I would make speed/2

coo idea! not only undeads can walk on water

The idea is tha undeads walk underwater (since they doesn't need to breath, like in pirates of the carribean)
Giants would walk in water cause they can stick a good part of their body out of water

can be, the drawback is that most maps dont use "deep water" so this way they can walk over "seas" too...

That will be wierd

Well, i get those kind of maps like a river more than a sea, so i think it is ok for that

Quick Question: What about the Ents, they don't particularly breath and they should go through water.

Makes sense.

Also the elves don't have any Giant units.

They have sea serpents (that are strong water melee units) and they can fight from the shores thank to their ranged units (i don't thin they need much of a powerup against sea creatures)
