Well my manticore wasnt too lucky then. I think it got 2 battle afflictions in that time, the first on the second fight.
Also in my attempts to use a dom2 Moloch as a powerful combatant, I noticed the Moloch routs almost immediately.
I don't know if this is a bug but I suspect the imps rout and take the Moloch with them. Although I think I remember seeing the Moloch run before the imps at one point.

The Nagas actually look like good SC bases to me. No armor/boots but the capability to get a large variety of magic. Of course spell fatigue becomes a problem when you try to cast eveything on yourself.
I'm just trying to figure out what all the concern about super pretenders is...it still seems as long as the enemy keeps from routing for a little while the pretender gets enough spell and attack fatigue to go over 100 and then dies almost immediately.
