Neat. Do enslaved prophets still retain the prophet attribute? It was fun to keep them as trophies in Dom2.

So Late R'lyeh gets freespawns? Can they recruit anything?

Late R'lyeh gets freespawns, from what I've seen, in terms of mad hybrids, mad mermen, mad deep ones, and mad human cultists, depending on what sort of province you're in. Higher Dominions also have a better chance of giving you freespawning Void Gate summons (and I've gotten some good ones such as Formless Spawns and Elder Things), which is fantastic, given they retain access to the Void Gate AND these freespawns come at zero summoning risk.

As for recruiting anything, I'm not sure I follow the question. R'lyeh LE gets to recruit pretty much the same units as R'lyeh ME (which, in turn, is pretty much the R'lyeh you already know). Also, you'll have commanders occasionally freespawn. They're insane, so that limits your ability to reliably control them, but they do come with some fun perks such as being sacred and occasionally having level 1 in either Holy or Astral magic.

Good times!

Interesting, interesting.

Do temples/luck/turmoil/magic/whatever apart from Dominins strenght affect the chance to get a free void summon?

I will have to try out R'lyeh. I never bothered myself to play with them too much in Doms 2, but these changes are interesting.

R'lyeh is one of my faves, I just love Lobo Wave Tactics.

"Thats a Prophet? Ya know .. I wanna be one too !"

This does, incidentally, make R'lyeh Dreamlands quite dangerous to AE Ermor; all those not completely sane H1 cultists have a tendency to prophetize to H3 gibbering cultists.

So not only is there the usual mindblasting against the commanders (mitigated by using ghouls and generic living militia), but there's yet more banishment spamming...

Void Spectre is, so far, the only non-Pretender, non-Gift-of-Reasoned void commander I've found so far. Nasty pieces of work, them.

That national dream-hunting spell... is not in the manual. Looks to be a far safer version of Mind Hunt, 'tho, in that you can still nail astral nations with it, and you can equip your mage accordingly (hm: can he enslave and bring him back?).

I'd spam Horror Mark in Dreams of R'lyeh, but that's just me. Sweet, sweet HORRORS.
