On the other hand, I've spent about 12 castings of GR on one R'lyan army - mostly Vine Ogres, some Illithids, and about 10 mage/priest commanders. 12 GRs, as many as 4 at one time, plus two armies (including powerful artifacts in one), and I only now have it whittled down to killing strength where I can dispose of the artifacts in order to reforge them.

Heh. Ghost Riders are totally useless against good Illhids army. You are lucky that your opponent was likely not very expereinced with playing R'leh, or your GR attacks would be just waste of death gems. Remember, only GR's commanders are not mindless (and they don't have high enough MR and hitpoints), so Illhids can kill them very quickly, if there are enough if them and if his army would be positioned and scripted appropriately. He should get at least 3 full valleys of mindbalsting your undead commanders before engaging onto melee, 4 if you tried to attack him underwater. And by that time all your GR's cavalery would be disolving due to lack of undead leadership.
