Re: dealing with Illithids?
Be careful with the mindless summons if you don't have a commander immune to their mind bLasts. Because...they will mind bLast only that which is susceptible to them.... If you lose your commanders, you're toast.
That is actually one of the hints you see while waiting your turn.
My trick...on land...is archers. The nice, cheap, 8 gp variety works well. Plenty of minds. And they can actually make them retreat. Just not underwater.
What I'm doing to fight them right now is...summoning sea trolls. Then taking some extra light infantry cannon fodder/mind fodder types with me. It's working like a charm. I'm going to see how much illithids cost after I take over their capital. Hopefully. I've already killed their stupid wyrm god twice. Hehe. His magic skills really take a beating when you kill him.
