Re: Ea R\'lyeh Aboleths.
They do not have a harder time getting out of water than EA Oceania. When they do get out of water, mind lords are way more powerful than triton kings.

It seems I didn't know either EA Oceania or R'lyeh as well as I thought I did. EA R'lyeh has much more amphibious troops than I through, and EA Oceania much less and of lower quality than I expected.
R'lyeh has easier time conquering land provinces, but much harder time getting their aquatic units out of water. Oceania, on the other hand, has no problems getting Air/Water mages, and Turtle Warriors at least have shields, but that doesn't help much.

Re: Ea R\'lyeh Aboleths.
R'lyeh would need to empower (painful but very doable), or have A on their pretender. I think having A4 on their pretender is a very good idea, since it can also forge storm staff.

Re: Ea R\'lyeh Aboleths.
Some aberrations like slimes, beholders and such could be nice unique summons for EA R'lyeh.

Re: Ea R\'lyeh Aboleths.
Does no one remember the Dolph Lundgren movie Dark Angel (AKA I Come In Peace)?
I'm serious, a big sluggy looking thing that crawls down people's throats and controls them. You cast it as a ritual, and the slug infests a commander, making him turn on his own army in combat.
Come on, Dolph Lundgren..... It has to be good.

You are, somewhat unexpectedly, confusing Kyle McLaghlan with Dolph. I come in peace, with Dolph, is the one with the endorphin extracting tube being punched through the forehead. It is McLaghlan that intrepidly battles the tentacled throat slug, and possibly is one himself.

Re: Ea R\'lyeh Aboleths.
I wasn't mad at you, Tifone. A little flabbergasted, I admit, because it can become frustrating, trying to get other people to see things your way...but not angry at you, and certainly not at your use of English, which is far better than my use of any other language on the planet.
But technology, high or not, and magic, to me anyway, are identical. We're on the internet right now, where I can shapechange into any conceivable form (new screen name), summon up demons of the air (download a program, which does what I ask it to, providing my wording is precise), inflict curses and plagues upon mine enemies, by entering into dark pacts with evil powers of the netherworld (get a hacker to send a virus to someone), become invisible (block my screen name), predict something as chaotic as the weather (weather.com), cure and prevent disease (Norton antivirus), and communicate silently over long distances (what we're doing right now) in an ancient Elfish language that few now know the wisdom of (1337).

Re: Ea R\'lyeh Aboleths.
From that description of magic/tech, I suspect HoneyBadger would enjoy the Council Wars series by John Ringo. Ostensibly it's science fiction and the "elves" are gene mods, but in practice it's fantasy. You'd have to enjoy Ringo-style stories, though, which means a lot of military stuff and some moderately dark bits (Ringo had to do research on rape trauma before writing the first book, if that clues you in--unpleasant things do happen to the main characters even if the good guys always win eventually).

ARGH!
I'll get you yet, Johan Ostermann, you haven't seen the last of James Douglas Morrison! :O
You're so right though, I want to cry. >.>
