Not only that, but i would argue human or near human civs are the only ones you can really roleplay, because you can understand how they think.

I mean, Eagle Kings are fricking celestial beings. They've descended from the heavens to lord over mortals and guide the race they fathered. How can you possibly roleplay that - its so completely alien as to be an incomprehensible mindset. It could very well be the case that today the color orange is the most important thing in the heavens for theological reasons, and so the EKs decree that no one wearing or displaying the color orange is to be harmed. Why is orange so important? Its beyond your comprehension - you're only human.

If anything Rlyeh is like 10x worse.

Anything sufficiently divergent from human might as well act as if it were insane, because from a human perspective that's what it would look like.
