I actually picked a few points from video with Kreia. Those Jedi state that because of those events on Malachor, Sith have learn to feed on the Force of others.
"What's worse, is these Sith that we face... I fear that they have learned the lesson of Malachor all too well. It is what allows them to prey on Force users, to become stronger, when Force sensitives are near.
Somehow, they have learned their hunger from you. And so you have brought about the end of the Jedi, and perhaps the knowledge of the Force."
It means that this Jedi never faced Force drain before and were not capable to defend against it. Also, in this video it looks like she used combination of Force lightning and Force drain. Though, in another videos she used purely Force drain, so, this evidence is sort of unreliable.
What is for sure is that those Jedi are not warriors, they spend most of the time hiding, preferring to use their wisdom and knowledge instead of fighting, which makes sense why she took out them so easily.
Although, they did render Exile unconscious, it is because she did not try to fight back, they gave her brain washing persuasion before that, so she simply submitted.
It's ultimately inconsequential, because Vader and Dooku have the means to resist Nihilus and Kreia's efforts to drain them. Once those powers are nullified, it becomes a contest of conventional skill and power and I see no reason to believe they'd do anything but die quick deaths at the hands of warriors of Vader & Dooku's caliber.
The problem is that fights with this many combatants are difficult to determine because of the necessary scripting involved.
Also, I don't think that Nihilus will be able to do a lot of drain during battle. In game he tried to nom only Exile but during battle he would consume his former apprentice and mandalorian, if he could, so he needs to be out of combat to channel drain to full extend. Moreover, most of those Sith know the technique themselves and can shield from it or drain the Force themselves.
The only thing that plays in his favor is that other foes might not notice his drain at first as their attention is directed elsewhere. As example, it took Luke a while to notice Krayt draining him, when they battled Abeloth together.

The Ro2 Sith are all about passing knowledge of each other, I find it hard to believe that Sidious didn't know and teach them.Nihilus's holocron definitely survived past that era, as Krayt had it.
Well, Dooku was given limited access to materials and Vader was never a scholar.
So...

it's unquestionably retarded that N "thinks only in planets and systems" had a holocron. Since he thinks in only planets and systems,when did he take time to come back down to earth to make a "my diary?"
He *does* have an apprentice, so he probably recorded it for her.
Also, as his hunger grew with time, so he may have started it when he was less detached.

Somewhat limited, but Dooku still knew about other even older sith lords like Andeddu.
I don't think you'd need to be a major scholar to know about Nihilus. Revan's one of the most famous Sith (inspiring Bane), and Nihilus came soon after.
