To be fair, the complaints were about the way armies could teleport
across giant oceans even when you had sunk all of their ships. I
actually agree that it would have been better if you could restrict an
army's mobility across water by using your navy.

It would not have been hard to modify the rules to do this, but
unfortunately it would have been very hard to make the computer
players deal with this well. We made the decision to not tweak the
game in ways that would greatly hurt the ability of the computer
players to compete, and this one on example of the tradeoff.
