It's funny how it takes 3 turns to complete a conversation. I get my hopes up for the next turn and then I'm all like "damn..."

Also, R'lyeh's god is ontop of my capital, as well as enough troops to merit him bringing along a starspawn and some void creatures. I don't know how relevant this is, but it means these troops aren't in his turf north of the Black Sea. His capital is located off the coast of Cyprus. It would take him 4 turns traveling south to get back there. If I had gotten far enough on the research path I would have been happy forge goblets for anyone interested in doing some diving but there's a good amount of land territory around the Red Sea that you can still probably go for. My forces will probably hold up for two turns or so, unless something distracts him, at which point he'll be fighting on two fronts, and having good sacreds and good scales means I can probably replenish my forces easily enough to be a thorn in his side.
Just putting that out there.
