But were you unlucky? Or was Rlyeh just very clever, I am not sure.

We know that in both battle and movement it is not random who goes first. The mages/commanders act in the order they are listed. So if Rlyeh had alot of S4's in one place would him sending the top one, with the lowest unit number I believe, vastly increase his chances of that mage casting his ritual before yours?

I am not sure wether this is true or not, anyone know for sure?

I think I read in those forums that the spell order is "semi-random", meaning that rituals either start from the end of the id list or the start. I'm not sure though. If it works that way : casting with someone at the top of the list instead of the middle make him either avoid everything or take all, instead of being targetted by "half" of the "attackers".

R'yleh also has stealthy S1 assassins, so it may be hard to say exactly what your Mind Hunter was up against.
