But don't worry, I'm sure it'll pass. We'll find out that lots of people died not because they were at war but because Cole and his cronies are EEEEEVIIIIL!!!

Ah, yes. The classic. It's either an angel or a dragon, and I don't see Cole going for the dragon option. No, Cole would definitely go for the angel form. Also only an amateur goes for a snake. It never, ever helps to turn into a snake.|

I do see the sonic barrier inversion as a part of a future trial, though. It seems like the kind of thing that'd fit in one. Time's up, everyone dies.

So far this is looking pretty cool! I can't wait to see more, or learn more about the new characters we'll be meeting here.
And does anyone else notice that one of the towers looks like the short and stocky lovechild of the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings? Seriously, it's got Chrysler's famous protruding gargoyles, and its spire appears to be modeled after that of the Empire State.
But seriously, the buildings look amazingly well done, kudos!

Looks kinda like PROTOTYPE 2.
Edit: lol
Edit2:
Seems like in this pic there's a survivor camp or fortress in middle of the building. There's NPCs and stuff.
Also do we know the zone lvl yet?

I notice further back in that same pic, there is the roof of what looks like a Tram station. An access route from the rest of Praetoria perhaps, something like Croatoa line was closed for awhile but since re-opened?

So you're saying they all had an evil hive mind and Cole was doing us a favor by destroying them? Hmm.. that's an interesting theory which you've obviously come up with, GG. That's the only way to explain why they all refused to leave..|

Although, Tyrant does have a record of this kind of behavior, with letting the DE destroy Rome, Italy while he just stood and watched |
And 2.. What, you've never heard the expression "When in Rome?" :P
Still hate the visit Winscott mission- make it dropable, have it give actual exp or remove it altogether. PS- Down knows who you are.

The people were super powers were on the exterior of the city fighting the Devouring Earth, which is why the DE were able to massacre their way through the center as they did. |

If not, you can always travel by brigadoon-buggy.

In general, the rule for Praetoria has always been that rather than be a mirror of our world where everything is there but opposite, most elements of Praetoria are mash ups, where different forces that combined in one way on Primal Earth recombined in a completely different way on Praetoria.

This looks amazing but in the last First Ward feature, there was a picture of Serene Sorceress fighting the Praetorian Snakes.
Oh, when will we get details on WW's Praetorian double!

I don't know what their design will be since you should get two choices. It would be nice to get some Praetorian Patron Arcs!
