Managing your chaff as LA R'yleh

[Szass_Tam]

I think I've got a good handle on how Ermor deals with its hordes of freespawned troops, but playing as R'yleh in SP it seems it's far more of a pain.

With Ermor you've got freespawned mound kings or censors which can lug around 80/120 troops, and summoned dusk elders/archbishops can carry 200+.

But all R'yleh has got are insane cultists which are 55/10. Your recruited commanders aren't all that much better. And the whole thing is complicated by the fact you need both normal and magical leadership.

So what's the best solution to deal with moving and organizing your chaff as R'yleh? And on a related note, which of the chaff costs gold upkeep, and what's the best way to kill them off(assuming there's no battle nearby).
