No one's arguing that the Moloch makes a fine devil commander, though. Hmm....

Maybe because we have been abstaining from participating in discussions where people abUSE the root "use" and spout inaccurate hyperbole. Moloch with devils and/or other strong fliers under his command is flaming death from above.

Graeme is also of course entirely correct that characters with high fire magic can scorch the earth and then fly in to disembowel the survivors, without much fatigue, and with nice penetration bonuses, etc.

Routing when the imps die is a bug which should be fixed, but saying the Moloch is "useless" just proves that all of Norfleet's Messages should be censored with a filter than replaces all assertions of "uselessness" with phrases such as "inefficient", "problematic", "sub-optimal", "sub-par", "imperfect", "flawed", "not the best", "not able to fly 3 provinces and wipe out an entire army by himself in one turn with a <1% risk of affliction", etc.
