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

Those mindbLasters have thick armor, 16 protection. They also have unroutable fodder troops. Their mages are really powerful. What are "Target Archers?"

Arrows cut through 16 protection just fine. So do xbow bolts, so do flaming arrows.

And no, I wasn't owned by R'lyeh and decided to make this thread. I started it because the first time I was owned by R'lyeh (way before you guys were even born) I've been meaning to start this thread.

Well then, obviously if you were owned by R'lyeh then you may need to look at some of the things implemented below if you feel they are 'so unbalanced' you needed a thread.

If it wasn't for the fact that paralyze cuts through MR so easily, they'd get torn up by Atlantis or anyone with any sort of cheap recruitable troop. All of yours are going to be better than any of R'lyeh's even if a bunch of them are paralyzed.

Mindless units tear up the fodder so that they don't kill your own fodder or other units. Know how many mind bLast attacks each Illithid gets? 10. If they don't have someone to kill the enemy units or paralyze all of yours, they are going to get eaten up.

R'lyeh is fun and interesting and has potential to give you a very bad time if you don't know their weaknesses, but are nowhere near close to overpowered or cheap.
