Aquarion troops get a movement boost in the water, but the villages contain land and land resources. This isn’t ideal for a water tribe. What if when you captured a village, it turned the land into water. That way you aren’t restricted by land that 9 times out of 10 has no use because the resources are so sporadic in a single village.

The water surrounding a village could contain water resources - fish, seaweed, coral reefs, literally anything water related and the resources in the tech tree could be changed to fit the water elements.

I think this would promote water movement for aquarion since only a few troops get this bonus. Similarly to how polaris freezes land to promote movement for their troops.

yep just like that

This is the exact thing we were trying to avoid when making them.

can i ask why? i know its similar, but they are two completely different mechanics

We didn't want to make them "water Polaris", and did all we could to give them distinction.

For Polaris, ice spread is core to their identity. For Aquarion, flooding is "a nifty thing in their arsenal," and we'd like to keep it that way.

thats fair. i thought it would be an interesting concept to help aquarion get a bit of a buff

Don't worry, they're getting a buff pretty soon. :)
