I tried R'lyeh for my first game and was SHOCKED how strong it is. I took a Dominion/Bless strategy and I had units coming out my ears. I was having serious trouble building enough leaders to command them all, and basically stopped building troops after a while. There was one small island with two provinces and in 15 turns it generated about 200 freespawn. It felt like playing Ermor with the AI unable to recruit priests - I had that much. I had about as many troops as 5 AI's put together.

My biggest problem was what to do with all the freespawned triton dreamers. I had a stack of about 150 wandering around - I was trying to get them killed off but they beat a Kracken/Sea Troll independents. I was maneuvering them to the last ocean independent and if that failed I guess I'd just have an ever-growing stack of them chewing up supplies (do they have upkeep). I couldn't figure any way to kill them.

Has anybody checked Gateway for functionality? I had a Starspawn put on a Crown of Command and try to gate all those island freespawns over. He went over but they stayed. No way to check the prior turn to make sure I'd cast "Gateway" but I'd swear that's what his icon said.
