Try bottles of water with your water gems on your commanders.

Also try to use that shark attack spell if possible.

I'm saying that even on LAND I have huge problems against these units.. and I don't have THAT much powerfull commanders who are fully equipped.. I''m pretty sure they can't beat a large army with some powerfull commanders by themselves though

I'm trying an eater of the dead next.. see what he can do.. and a wraith lord and a grand theurg and 4 normal theurgs.. and some army ..

Eater of the Dead is very very poor for it's cost/tech level. Invest in banelords/tartarians instead and try to see if you can empower to cast abominations. Also don't forget to spam antimagic

Do you have the:

If you look up illithids there you will see they are a 50 gold unit. So while you make think you are fighting "only" 30 illithids, that is 1500 GOLD in units.

From what little I know of R'yleh I think the Greater Otherness and Vastness are SUMMONED or Void Gate or some such thing monsters.

The Mindless undead are probably doing better than you think against such a swarm of high cost units.

I also would like to bring to your attention the database at Sunray's virtual library.
http://www.freewebs.com/dominions2/
It's quite handy how the units are organized by nation.
I use both databases, but the one I hit first when facing a nation I haven't fought before is Sunray's. Edi's is good as well, containing (lots more) different info in a different format, but takes several times as long to load, and is aimed a bit towards modders and mapmakers, etc.

Only 30 or not.. I'm not even getting near them those blobs and whatever .. only 10 -15 of em are taking my army apart bone by bone

I'm summoning tartarians as we speak (2nd one coming in , I just got lvl 6 consturction too so am crafting a load of weapons, I'll be summoning a load of tartarians and wraith lords next.. that should do something..

PS what do you guys think of the ether lord (ether gate)

anyway I must admit to lord bob that once that army was out of the way (and I have no idea where they have gone since I've not killed them.. maybe he has retreated and I'll encounter them later..) that as of yet I've not encountered a similar army and I'm taking provinces of him by the turn

Good units, but not a cost efficent summon. I would only recommend it if you are in need of a high level mage with the specific paths the ether lord has (S3D3).

yeah I admit seeing my tartarians I can see much better use for them, a ****load of HP is just nice, combined with strenght and some slots for stuff... nice nice nice

Remember to cast gift of reason on any afflicttion free tartarians(or atleast those who aren't mute/feeble minded) to get some versatile mages and potential SCs.

what is your most efficient build to reach D7 and casting Tartarians ?

A lich +1 skull face +1 staff +1 empowerment ?
