... question is.. why do you need ship when you can just raise yourself a strip of land to walk across?

The enemy might not have ships.

Ships are a pain in the arse. There aren't many beaches to land on and you can't seem to board or leave a ship next to cliffs. At the moment ships are more or less a waste of time. I hadn't thought about raiding a land bridge out of the water - good idea.

The AI doesnt know how to use ships still that is why its always one GIANT land mass.  This is a problem with several 4X games.  Empire total war and Civ 5 even.

You can make beaches now with terraforming spells.
