Oh, that's right. I do remember that, now that I'm reminded of it. I guess I can see why I thought there was no GOOD reason for starting it. (As opposed to a truly insane but possibly interesting motivation.)

Maybe Nemesis invaded the tutorial zone on the Rikti homeworld.

Honestly I'm guessing the Rikti war is the thing Mender Silos is referencing when he says he's responsible for the Coming Storm.

If the Rikti defeated the Battalion once, or their version of it, and he's responsible for starting a war that weakened them considerably; he may feel he's responsible for eliminating the only chance at defeating them.

How many of you had the urge to create a character named Major Tom after playing this

What field would you not do that in?

I can only guess that Nemesis has never read the Evil Overlord rules. He really should.

The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise. ; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

All bad guys ignore at least one of those rules - that's why they always fail

My favorite Buzz Lightyear TV show ep was one where Emperor Zurg was designing a new evil lair and he says "Wait! I want all of the ventilation shafts to lead to the incinerator!" At least one evil overlord took a lesson from the list, heh.

Actually, that might be a fun thing to do - see how many rules the major AVs break, and then rank them by it to see who's the best/worst Evil overlord in the CoHverse
