Default Re: Give me good reasons why R\'lyeh is a balanced nation.

The summons are the sacred troops.

The starspwan priests for 150 are good summoners and besides R'lyeh getting a void gate in its home province there is another site in the game with a void gate. Nothing like using 2 gates at once and often getting a higher level summon each turn this way.

The starspawn mages are just great IMO, they are at 1W, 3 As and 2? (IIRC) you can often get a 4As mage who is able to cast Enslave Mind without having to empower him. Paralyse and Soul Slay can be used with the "standard" 3As.

But yes, I agree that upkeep is VERY high, that's why I tend to head towar the land fairly early - for all those nice farm lands.

I am not sure about overpowered, but enslave mind/paralyse in combination with Illithids and 2 potential void gates and the resulting summons surely IS powerful.
