Tips for A newbie Playing as R'lyeh

[Oversway]

The biggest problem I keep running into playing R'lyeh is that they suck supplies like nothing else.

Are you playing with growth scale(s)? That may help...

yea, also i almost always take some nature on my pretenders, its so versatile and useful. You can forge good items, cast gift of reason, cast battlefield buffs like mass regen and protection/single buffs like personal regen. You also have good summons like lamia queens and vine kings.

"lamia queens, tartarians and vine kings."

Tartarians? Not with nature. Sadly.

[Wish]

well nature gives you: astral via lamia queens and coatls, Air via Fairy Queens, Death via Lamia Queens, Earth via treelords, blood via treelords and lamia queens. And of course more nature from ivy kings and treelords.

what you can't get from it is fire and water.

eventually through lamia queens, you can get tartarians. (which opens up basically all paths, en force)
