Default Give me good reasons why R\'lyeh is a balanced nation.

Yeah, R'lyeh is the cheapest, most unbalanced, overpowered crap of a nation.

Now tell me why R'lyeh is not unbalanced, they better be good reasons too.

Illithids eat a metric ton.
Can't affect Mindless with their 'specials'.
Rely so heavily on their capital if you drive the taxes up on it they have nearly an impossible time recovering if they survive.
Get owned by Arrows in a bad way.


Those are a few off the top of my head.

They aren't owned by arrows. Not being able to effect mindless beings is NOT a weakness. Depending on their home province is made up with the fact only Atlantis could effectively siege it. Only ermor is safe from the "specials" and Ermor is the only other nation which is uncanny underwater.

None of those reasons I am satisfied with.

NEXT!!

One time long ago, I took a philosophy class. There I learned that if you are to have an useful discussion, you need valid arguments with supports to your claim, otherwise one can say the most silliest things and claim you are right when you cannot be dissaproven. Hence the burden of proof is on the originator of the claim, not the other way around.

I.e. How is R'lyeh the cheapest, most unbalanced, overpowered crap of a nation?

All I want are reasons I can be satisfied with. I don't really understand what you just said either.

Ever tried "target archers"?

You might want to supply some reasons to support your own case.
