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

Archers just got paralyzed.

Obviously you failed to issue orders to the archers such as "target large enemy monsters" (the illithids are size 4) or "target rearmost" (most people and AIs play the illithids at the far back). And if you did do this, then something else about your battlefield positioning, or the type of troops you had on the field, or the magical support (or lack thereof) was faulty.

I have no trouble countering R'lyeh. It also helps that I have played R'lyeh myself several times (it's a favorite of mine) so I am quite well acquainted with the shortcomings of my "own" units. Perhaps if you were more familiar with the units you are using, and those you face, you wouldn't have such a hard time.

Whining about it, and arguing with those that post trying to help you only shows immaturity and ingratitude. There are a lot of other choice adjectives I could use but I'll refrain.
