Hilarious R'lyeh Dreamlands moment (SPOILER)

[Mortibus]

I spent all night playing R'lyeh myself, had a blast.

GREAT GAME.

A couple of times the void "pulled" my starspawn somewhere I think, only to come back at some other place on the map and get butchered. Or maybe they went crazy and just decided to attack, I'm not sure. My first starspawn lasted a long time (about 4 years game time)and summoned some really cool beings whose names I can't remember.

No one went insane that I could see. When do they start going crazy? Am I doing something wrong? I have a slave priest preaching and starspawn researching in each province.

I'm playing a long game it looks like, I'm pretty dug in now and researching construction 9 to go on land with the water amulet. I haven't fought any opposing kingdom yet as I'm hiding out in the water. I'm in second to last place, but it's my first try at this game.

My only complaint is the processing down time in between turns while generating (a couple minutes?), though I did pick the largest map possible with the maximum amount of players. It's very stable, not even a hiccup, something that is rare these days with games and appreciated.

The insanity is only late-era, based on dominion strength... and possibly MR, astral magic, or both. I've noticed that my Starspawn mages and priests rarely go mad; my mundane Starspawn commanders occasionally do; and the cultists frequently do. Void creatures like the Void Lurker and Void Lord are immune, or should be.

'Go mad' is actually two-stage. It increases an insanity score -- probably when some check fails. That score presumably affects the probability of a commander going insane each turn -- they can shift between lucid and random from turn to turn. Insanity also accumulates for enemies within your domininon.

If you get a fellow who returns from the void, and lives long enough to return to the capital, check his summoning score.
