Default Re:LA Atlantis looking for perm sub

Well, on the one hand I didn't know that R'lyeh had so many troops left in his fortress or I would've just gotten out of the water as soon as I took the position. Fighting a war of attrition underwater is a losing proposition.

OTOH, yeah, he was crazy bad-*** and practically turned the war all on his own. As another sea power it wouldn't have been so bad, but as a land power invading a sea power I am forced to use relatively few commanders and I lose their entire complement of troops when they die (no more watebreathing), so it was nasty. Also I had to keep teleporting in astral mages to prevent mindhunting.
