ryleh : mindbLast question

[Boron]

thnx for the answers

today i started my ryleh game with a friend but i came to new problems
my main problem was that i could not make enough illithids
i made an army out of shambler thralls + the resource 3 illithids because of the map movement of 2 then . and this way i could go sloth 3 to have more points for pretender design.

but although ryleh is the resourcecheapest race of all i think the 50 gold for an illithid and the 35 for a shambler are quite expensive . so i couldn't build enough quick enough .
do the random creatures you get on your land fortresses cost upkeep too ? the hybrids i mean ?
i guess so
you can do nothing against this or ?

can i wish a vastness if i want to ?

does the militia of belphegor the archdemon cost upkeep too ?

ryhleh is one of the best nations for wishing / clam hording right ?
which is the best one especially for clam hording ? atlantis because of 5 water income + water 2+ mages ? or ryhleh ?
or arco / pyhthium / caelum ?

edit : if you wish for power can you do it several times too or do you get it only once ?
i don't wont to waste the 100 astral games to try this because i suppose it is a clear waste

regarding dominion : if you wish dominion your dominion slightly increases . does anyone know how this is exactly handled ?
because i plan a long sp game with all 17 races on impossible and i am thinking the following :
a god gives +1 dominion / turn + 2 chances for an increase according to the dominionfaq
a temple gives a further increase .
so if i theoretically would cast 5 following turns 4 or 5 wishes for dominion each turn would i have a quite high chance that each time the dominion of my enemies even in their province where their god is decreases each time 1-2 so that i can destroy the weaker gods this way ?
