LA Ermor - myth, legend, or overrated tripe?

[Aleph]

I don't hear people making the same sorts of comparisons about LA R'lyeh. Same killer dominion, fewer problems for invading due to starvation, but on the other hand invading commanders invariably go insane. They also have extremely nasty missile troops which work underwater, they start underwater so it's hard row to hoe to dig them out, they still have a gold economy, and in a game of any length they'll end up with hordes of prophets. Is it that they're stronger in MP than Ermor so people don't feel the need to belittle them as much, or are they generally seen as weaker and therefore not needing to be talked about?
