How is it possible to conquer sea provinces without playing R'lyeh or Atlantis ??

Water mages can bring troops underwater with them. There are also magic items that allow commanders to bring troops underwater. Do a forum SEARCH on "water breathing" for more info ...

Ok thanks.
R'lyeh and Atlantis seem to be very powerful : they can attack everywhere without being threatened.

Most undead are amphibious (although poor ones), and water breathing magic items are quite numerous. As are water creature summoning spells (sea trolls , anyone?). R'lyeh and Atlantis are strong nations, no doubt, but they have no "safe haven" in their own realm - especially in MP.

Is it possible to win against R'lyeh or Atlantis, without playing Ermor, and without using water magic ?

Another way to get access to water provinces is my conquering a land province with Ichthyids. If you see an indy province with these units, you will be able to recruit them when you conquer the province. Also, there are Shambler recruiting sites on land provinces as well.

Rlyeh is tough because of the Illithid mind bLasts. However, mass fodder can overcome these units. Remember, Illithids cost 5.5 times as much as a basic infantry unit.
