OK I've decided to incorporate some naval in my units. Whlist I'll be giving the USA & China Amphibious transports that they can train out of their War Factories to transport large ground forces. I'll be giving the GLA a proper Naval ShipYard to build a variety of naval units. I know it may sound unbalanced but if you think about it. USA and China have Airfields & very competent air units. Even more so in my mod. I want to make some maps that have each team starting isolated on islands, so whilst this will suit China & USA, the GLA can do nothing except sit back, try to defend and wait patiently for the Sneak Attack.

So I'm ready to make a Naval Dock for the GLA but so far I've only found 2 ways to create it (On the water, NOT on land with the door facing water).

1. I can make a vehicle that can drive out to the water slowly, using the Object Upgrade button, transforming models slowly (anchors deploying) to form a floating platform.

2. I can make an Amphibious Dozer for the GLA which can spawn a Naval Dock near by (like the Crusader/BattleDrone upgrade only the Naval Dock will be seperate). And make the Upgrade cost about $2000 and take about 30 seconds to build.

So my question to everyone is .............. If you were playing a mod, which method would you think is better? both gameplay wise & graphically.

Unless anyone out there knows how a Dozer can actually build a Structure above water.
