Coral Queens cost about the same as C'Tis Priest Kings. Consorts are very physically tough and cost the same as battle deacons.

your other earlygame enemy ryleh is hard too .

They aren't that hard for Atlantis. Your troops are superior to theirs, and you have access to friendly currents right off the bat. Illithid's are archers, and you have access to flying troops as soon as you conquer your first province.

finally midgame a attack with a few fully euqipped scs , especially ice devils can give you hard trouble too .
you can't summon banelords in the sea .
your water queens are inferior to ice devils .

What? Water queens are completely superior to ice devils, and would give air queens an easy run for their money. It's nothing to sneeze at when you can regenerate 40 or more hitpoints per turn on a unit with inherent water magic and 0 base encumbrance.

most maps just support 1 underwater nation and most ppl chose then ryleh because most think it is a bit better than atlantis .

That might have been true before the duration of Illithid paralysis was reduced to its current levels. Now, it's not too hard to overwhelm them with sufficient numbers. Try a water 6 Nerid with order 3, prod 3, misfortune 2, magic 3, kelp citadel. Or create yourself a nice meat shield out of the ancient Kraken to absorb Triton attacks.
