This is an option if it is a land nation. In practice I don't see very many land nations attacking fortified turtled sea nations unless they have no other targets.

I do see an impressive number of EA wins by R'lyeh in the Victorious Nations thread, and I thought they were perceived as a generally weak position. Clamming could explain that, perhaps, but then any clam nerf would seem to disproportionately hit EA R'lyeh, if that's their main strength.
I don't see disproportionate wins by the other aquatic races listed in that thread.

In addition to clams in long games my theory for the R'lyeh dominance is that R'lyeh has such good astral casters - and astral in the late game is usually stronger. Plus R'lyeh is popular and there are some people who are very knowledgeable about about playing them. EA R'lyeh usually has a problem getting out of the water however - whereas it's my understanding that MA/LA have less problems.
I've also heard EA Oceania wins quite a few - though other than the fact I know they can clam with their national mages I don't know much about them.
