For 2 turns cost ship itself has too high stats.
Especially attack and melee armor.

I'd say lower attack down to 10 if you want to keep bonus or down to 16 if you will remove it.
As for armor - change it to 2/6 (from current 4/3).

As for marines - just remove bonuses at all - they are too high. Maybe keep 100% bonus to buildings only (not to fortifications or megas though).

Then, Liburna should has
Hp 32
Attack 10
Range 1
Armor 2/6
+50% v ship

And Illyrian Marine bonuses
+100% v structures

Actually - I would just decrease marine overall stats.
They could be good for regular mercenary, but if he's supposed to be summonable and serve the pupose of conversion - it's too high.
I'd say - 15hp, 8-10 power, no armor, no conversion resistance, lower bonuses vs ships by half, remove vs melee and archers.

Actually they used tureos shield, such a big one, and armor too
Maybe too high
They were known to fight as well in land
Maybe stats should be ajusted to 3 turn swordman?

after corsair implementatio i think illyrian mercenary could have the same transformation concept, instead of deploying marines...
