(Atlantis was running a close second in some ways, using multiple Wish spells a turn for territory, but that only takes provinces that don't have fortresses, near as I can tell)
Actually, it can take forted provinces. It was the only way I ever managed to take provinces from Norfleet...
Really? Atlantis had as many as 3 or 4 of those wishes a turn towards the end, and never took a province of mine that had a fort in it. So - I'd take about 4 or 5 provinces a turn, and use spells to get fortresses in all of them right away ( using Living Fortress, Wizard Tower, and Three Red Seconds ).

R'lyeh isn't usually a big blood nation - but finding a province with the Summoning Circle ( 60 blood bonus ) next to my capitol, and one with the Black Tower ( cheap D1B1 and D2B2 ) also nearby really helped. Using a Void Lurker pretender for great starting magic and bringing him back mobile via Twiceborn didn't hurt either.
