No, you're not. The Moloch is a mere Cause Fear +0. The PoD is Cause Fear +10, and that's before taking into account his Death magic!

As for actual performance, the Moloch has one fatal flaw: The fact that you don't need to be capable of beating him to actually kill him: You just need to slaughter his imps, a fairly trivial task, given that they uncontrollably rush forwards and die, and the Moloch routs. You can do the rest.

The POD lacks such an glaring weakness, unless he's been sitting in a province and has spawned longdeads as a result, which can then be killed to force a rout....but longdeads, unlike imps, do not fly directly into harm's way, and the POD will not be encumbered by any longdeads while attacking.

Hi,

I'd like to try the "devils" mod. I think it's for Marignon. I haven't played it so have no idea if it's ok. Let me know if it's a bad choice.

Thanks,
John

The Devils Lair mod for Abysia on Illwinter's website is fine. However, it would be a good idea to play several test games with any mod you plan to use before comitting to a MP game with it.

I would like to play Lhynn, it's a mod from Sube, Black moon chronicle, for Pythium. Would it be ok, I' m not sure if it is balanced for MP game, I think knight of the light was not. But as a newbi, I don't feel sure about what is balanced and what not.

Skolem

P.S. would be the game a PBEM or TCP/IP ?

I'd like to play my knightly mod.
If it is impossibile due to unbalance, I'd like to try the Knights of Light mod.

You can't play your knightly mod, since it is incredibly unbalanced, the knights of light are fine.
