Default Re: Petition to Save the Moloch!

Also note that you can't take advantage of one of the huge benefits of having a flying Pretender or other SC : being able to attack behind enemy lines. Dragons, PoD, Virtue, Manticore, etc can all very effectively fly into enemy territory and easily nail a province.

The Moloch can't, because the bloody imps will show up, race at the militia / PD, and almost instantly rout. At this point, the Moloch dies because a couple of puny, totally disposable units got wounded and ran away.

A Virtue on the other paw, even in the early game, can effectively "cherry pick" isolated provinces to attack and conquer. Likewise a dragon, PoD, etc. The Moloch would die to 30 LI attempting to do the same.
