I played a game as LA R'lyeh. I don't think to make an economy running is the way to go. It may be better to spread chaos and insanity all across the world !!!

- used dom10 turmoil3/luck3/sloth3/death2/magic3 (why not Death3 ? because I'm a n... beginner)
- my tactic ? pillaging and taxing to destroy most of the whole world income (small map).
- upkeep problem started at turn 40 (which is fine IMHO). I just sent as most horde of chaff as I could on my opponents. Sometimes it opens a breach for invasion and pillaging !
- luck3/turmoil3 => lots of random gems = good help for summons.
- void specters are really efficient to spread insanity (stealth 25). And it's really fun when you check the insanity of your opponent's pretender during battle.
- multiple prophet are great !!! And that army of priest !!!
- used indie nature mages to make "endless bag of wine" for my illithids based armies.
- astral magic is great.
- underwater starting position *may* be a great advantage.

I didn't try on bigger maps, but I found LA R'lyeh rather powerful on this small one. And it was fun to play the great evil which destroy everything on his path. I found these style of play really close to the lovecraft's novels, even if in the novels such an apocalypse is only suggested.
