Default R\'lyeh more R\'lyeh?

Oookay, so one of the biggest gripes I had about Dominions 2 thematically was with R'lyeh. I played a couple games as them, trying to get a feel and stuff. Is it just me, or does R'lyeh not seem Lovecraftian enough? I love the void summons, and crazy-powerful wizards and stuff, but it just doesn't seem like there's enough subverting going on. What happened to that alien and sinister presence that slowly drives towns mad? Those secret cults developing in otherwise peaceful communities? The closest thing I've found for them is Imprint Souls, which is great. But I'm curious about the Dominions 3 game. Are there any changes to R'lyeh? Will we see stealthy cultist preachers or anything like that?

It's called dreamlands and is R'lyeh in the late era. Insane, stealthy cultists appearing in your dominion.

Also your enemies' commanders will become insane and say 'ftaghn' or something even more sinister.

"Aboleths no longer have void gate."

Uhh.. Aboleths? Early era? I thinka Aluudh is worth about 750 right now, so maybe a 500 commander. Not quite sure.

Can the insane, stealthy cultists appear in enemy territory (stealthed, naturally)? Because that would be fearsomely awesome.

Whoa, how long's this thing been up here? I've been offline too long. My point being...



Also, Dreamlands sounds spectacular. In a quiet, insidious sorta way.
