Might be that S9 bless that I missed. My bless is W10F5, so no MR bonus.
In a balanced situation regarding income & so on, I still think EA Oceania has fair chances anyway. The point is that the situation between me & R'lyeh in Kingmaker is not balanced at all (I mean : at this point of the game, not regarding nations, starting positions or rules).
I've been under attack from MA Oceania very early in the game, at which point EA R'lyeh broke the NAP/alliance we had, NAPed with MA Oceania, seized the neutral provinces I should have controlled and waited for MA Oceania to die, meanwhile accumulating troops, magic and gold.
The war against MA Oceania has not been so easy for me. Baalz fought fiercely & agressively. I still think he could have won the challenge, had he blessed his sacred with some useful stuff. BTW, I lost castles at t-1 from being built, MA Oceania troops lurked around my capitol and my provinces many turns in masses before me being able to gather enough troops and defeat them. I had to use all my diminished income to purchase expensive Triton Knights : no time nor money to build castles at the risk of being attacked during the process, so no other place where I could buy mages and do some research.
When MA Oceania eventually lost his capitol, EA R'lyeh attacked me. At this time, he had gathered a great deal of magic and income. Twice my income at least, not even mentionning my almost inexistent magic research. I won the first battles but he slowly attritionned me to death : mind blasts & paralyze casted behind a heavy screen of cheap troops, by hundreds, and massive shark attacks. Just nothing I can counter right now : even with Hold &... scripted, my knights soon end in the front line, fight one or 2 turns before being paralyzed, and then their Att0 Def0 stats just calls for their miserable death.
As for the troops spamming of R'lyeh, I confess I'm impressed. I see near MA Oceania a >600 army just coming. A few turns ago, there were hardly more than 200 troops around. Where the hell do these swarms come from, that I don't know. Similar things happen in the soutern provinces of the sea near my capitol, although a bit less impressive. Then : wow & gasp
