Erm, better? When they're unable to build forts that bring forth their best units? I didn't realize that hybrids were so fantastic...

I mean, I'm sure that you're tired of getting pounded on by tritons, but there's -no- doubt that they're much better in the water where they get their crab hybrids and illithids, as well as the full extent of their water spells.

Maybe I'm wrong. I can admit that. But why do you feel so strongly about something that seems pretty much in contrast to my own experience? ;-)

Mainly it is because of Tritons, which the R'lyeh have no easy answer to... but basically, it works like this: 99% of land provinces have land based units (suprise!). That is great for R'lyeh, since the slower the oponent is, the more likely he is to be paralyzed by the time your land units face him...

Cavalry can be slightly tough, but not really a big deal.

Try Triton Shark Knights. Who wins? All of a sudden, those indie provinces with knights seem like complete "cake"... and they are.
