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

You can't just build 1 unit type and try to win.

That's why we've been saying "Fodder". You have to have more units with minds than your opponent to be able to outLast the illithids. All it takes is 1 volley of missile fire to cut down massive ranks of illithids.

If you have the customary orders of a front line on "Hold and Attack" you will also just be sitting there waiting to be chewed up by the mindbLasts. Or if you have just 1 commander sitting at the back and he happens to get targeted by a "Fire Rearmost" order and gets bLasted to death and all your troops rout.

Another good thing to know about R'lyeh is if you can make them rout, they lose all their mindless units (Shambler Thralls and Lobos). So fear works great on them.
