Except that when you give this much power to the crown then it doesn't matter if you have an Illithid or not as they too are just mortals and not hyperintelligent (see how easy you can trick them in the tutorial for example), nor do they have any foresight powers. Chances are at least one character in the party ends up more intelligent than a mind flayer.
Neither is there any reason as for why a huge immobile brain requires much foresight to attack as it still mostly relies on minions to defend itself. The only thing needed is Orpheus protection or similar magic.
