"Ho ho ho ho", to quote Jabba the Hutt. At a rough guess: nearly impossible. The engine specifies that things can't move on water and die when they stand in it, so you'd have to get ground to look like water - which will look awful - then that would allow soldiers to walk on 'water' while they push the new 'boats' around, and that is behaviour which is intrinsically linked to all siege engines and artillery and it's the only way to get the engines to move. Still, we didn't think moving artillery could be done in Medieval either, and someone did do it for the Napoleonic mod -- so perhaps perhaps people will figure out a way
