Wow, embarked siege worms, haha. I don't think it would be too bad to simply prevent aliens from embarking if you leash them. If you need them in the ocean, you can leash aquatic aliens. There's always plenty.
As for the Colossus Strike, if placed aliens happens to land in water around a coastal/ocean city, it should become a kraken. They pillage improvements as they move too, right? And most importantly, they're colossal aliens. (Maybe they plan on doing that still, which is why it was renamed from Worm Strike?) I was initially thinking of simply using Makaras, but I don't think they pillage as they move.

It's interesting to see Quill's attitude sink through the playthroughs. He seems to be just going through the motions quickly and doesn't really care much about anything -- two-shotting low strength cities with no defenses or units, endless resources, permanent wars, gaining perk after perk and bonus after bonus. Though, he "is" on a low difficulty. Plus, as I suspected, I think it's probably best to put all 12 sponsors on a standard map now, or at least more than the default 8. Looking at his minimap, there's so much empty space between all sponsors to expand too and grab whatever you need.
