Re: R\'lyeh Strategies
I always go ashore early with R'lyeh.
The main reason being that 90% of all summons can only be done above water... and I don't think you can wait until mid-game, when all the idies are gone, to set up an above water lab.
It's probably better to merely establish a "beach head" (as has been noted: it's hard to reinforce your above water troops- until Gateway)... with a few provinces, before going back and consolidating the sea ones. The best is if you can snag a forest with Amazons(best) or Druids(good) you can pretty quickly get a Vine Ogre factory up and running... which are definately superb meat(er vine) shields for Illithid.
