Ermor/R'lyeh/Atlantis too weak?

Im still messing around with the WE vs THEM map idea. Ermor "Ashen Empire", R'lyeh, and Atlantis are allied and too strong to be beaten by any single nation. All 3 start in a corner of the map with Ermor sandwiched between the other two.

SO... if I start each with 2 or 3 castle/lab/temple locations and an extra starter army (matching what they usually get), and all 3 start with Wyrm gods (kinda kewl justification there, they all came from the same nesting) is that enough to force a player alliance?

Can R'lyeh and Atlantis handle Ermor's dominion effects? Would it be easier to have only R'lyeh and Atlantis? The background story could be R'lyeh has taken over Atlantis by carefully placed mind-controlled pawns and declare war on the land, so that the Old Ones will return?
