They still eat a lot hardly overpowered. You played with them? Ryleh freespawns are incredible weak, its not like with Ashen Empire where you get better freespawns with good morale. And a lot of aquatic freespawns won't help much, just drain upkeep. + no easy way to kill them off except pillaging a province and let them starve to death. The freespawn for Ryleh are just meat shields and are here to protect your Ilithid artillery. They do not work on their own. I play this game with a friend with indie strenght9 on 100+ provinces maps.
