Raze_Larian: No, Garran is correct; you need to go to the Engineering Bay (in single player) to research either the Transport or Ironclad units before you can build a naval factory.
Alternately, the mountain dragon starts off with Warlocks researched, and the Zephyr dragon with Shamans, both of which are amphibious. These units can be used in RTS to reach islands or just cut across lakes (though need to be transported by ship in the strategy map; they can not handle the open ocean).
That's cool....I am kinda curious as to why the A.I. didn't bother to produce any more naval carriers once I knocked the three of theirs out.Alternately, the mountain dragon starts off with Warlocks researched, and the Zephyr dragon with Shamans, both of which are amphibious.
