It would be the best place to add Gnomes, If you remeber the Gnomes made submarines in Warcraft II, I say bring them back , They would be invisible as a submerged unit unless you have flying machine or also the option of loading a shade into a transport and giving that vessel true sight. More interesting is the idea of giving Heroes sea mounts just specifically for the hero so you can keep his abilities even sailing on high tide.All would be Amphibious and could travel on land , Now some Heroes like the farseer and the Deathknight would actually get off their premade mounts and jump on to the new one and would automatically get on their old one as they dismount as well.

Gnomes designed things like the Flying Machine and, I think, Steam Tank, but Dwarves actually operate them in War3... I wish Gnomes were. One of War3's few bad things, imo. :)

Sea mounts for heroes? Bad idea. They tried flying heroes and grounded all of them because it gave them too much power... sea is a bit more limiting but it'd still cause horrible issues. Better not, I think.

The Major problem of all is the fact Air units would dominate sea units ,What I would do for the transport is allow ranged units to attack air units when loaded inside, But as a upgrade probaily the same time aerial units arrive at the scene. Also all the air units have a anti air attack so the air units will actually get masacred by navals, I would imagine their would be some magically enhanced vessels too, The Undead could raise destroyed enemy vessels into Undead ghost ships which like skeletons warriors would have a timer and burn out eventually.

I'm sure that if they tried they could balance it out... Blizz is masters of balancing things (eventually), so if they really worked at it they could get it right, don't worry. :)

As for sea units themselves, I certainly admit that I liked them in War2 and liked them in the War3 expansion. But War3 multiplayer... you'd need to make all new maps for sea combat, first. There aren't many I know of that have seaports (none in ladder I believe...), after all... and that would be a huge undertaking. It takes quite a while for Blizz to make maps... this factor alone will probably keep them from ever making seaports normal buildings in War3. What I would like to see, as I have said, are some of their maps of the week/month (whatever it is) to be sea maps. :)
