R'lyeh suggestions.

[PrinzMegaherz]

I have been playing R'lyeh for a while, but somehow I got the feeling that there should be some changes in order to make it more "Lovecraftian".

1. Why do I have to establish a fortification on a coast province to build crab hybrids? If you read the books, creatures like them just appear in coastal areas and live there undetected to do whatever they do. My suggestion would be, that, if its possible to code it, hybrids should gain stealth ability and just spawn in coastal provinces in your dominion.

2. Of course R'lyeh would need a stealth commander to actually make use of them. At least star children should have the means to travel undetected trough human areas, so give them stealth too.

3. The protagonists in Lovecrafts stories sometimes meet even more powerful creatures, which disguise themselves as humans. My suggestion would be to give Illithids a "change" command like e.G. the Carrion Dragon which allows them to change between a stealthy Star Child and limited magic abilities or his normal Appereance.

What do you think about it?
Would these changes make R'lyeh too strong?
Maybe you got some Ideas how to counterbalance them.
