A little late... but Tyrant was RIGHT!

I'm pretty sure the devs confirmed Primal Earth shot first.

Tyrant was always going to attack Primal Earth as part of his plan to unite the multiverse under his rule to fight the Battalion.

And instead, the greed of those on Primal Earth has doomed the multiverse.

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

That was something I've been wondering lately.

Soooo much effort was put into wiping out the primals. You kind of wonder how successful they could have been turning all the weapons of mass destruction against the Devouring Earth. I mean, they have an orbital death laser, that couldn't have been effective? All that incarnate power, able to nuke his own city... -none- of that could stop the Hamidon?

I'm just hoping that the big reveal is that the Praetorian Hamidon is scary as hell and not just another speed bump for us to show just how pathetic Cole was in that if he and his Praetors had decided to put all their power and knowledge into taking out Hamidon they could've done it.

I mean that's really the core of the problem. Cole believed wiping out all of Primal's superheroes in a blitz was the preferred option over trying to take down Hamidon.

Praet Hami is supposed to be some sort of eldritch horror looking thing. The better question is why he insists on still fighting you guys when Hami is gearing up to wipe out whats left of humanity, and the most he can do is stalemate the thing

Okay, how did Primal Earth shoot first?

By making contact with the resistance first? Opening the portal to Praetorian earth? Sending in probes as they discovered things? Getting kidnapped by praetorians and needed to send heroes through to recover them?
Discovering that there had been established various cells of Praetorians on Primal earth and sent them packing back to where they came from?
I tried looking it up, but I could not find anything (so either my search fu is weak at this moment) or a "revised history" from Devs have not gotten out to the public.

Thank you Scythus.
Again a little group amongst Primal Earth doing stuff. I did think upon them and Maelstroms defection, but still is there a timeline for when things happened. After all Portal Corp started their exploration before Ultimatum stole the teck, did they not?
Or were Ultimatum the first one that got the coordinates to the Praetorian Earth dimension? And thus the attention of Tyrant?

If it was Ultimatum, that started the conflict, then I hope the heroes of Primal Earth will find out about them and... pay them a visit. And that there will be peace between the Praetorian population and Primal. (After all it was not an attack by a united government, UN or anyone)
Just as there should be one between Rikti dimension and Primal.
Specially since we did find out who and how the first Rikti war came to be. (I'll not say the name, so as not to spoil it for those that has not done the arc.)

At this point I don't think you really need to worry about needing peace between Primal and Praetoria. Don't wanna spoil anything but I23 seems to make the notion of 'relations with Praetoria' pretty moot.

Yea.. the trial is... [removed by poster]

With some of the portals though it should open up for some of the praetorians to get to Primal (Like Ghost Falcon). And they would bring with themselves stuff/tech.
Maybe Primal can be made a little better and stronger with having Wardroids on our own side against that coming storm.

Yeah, pretty much. I think we're just going to absorb what's left of Praetoria.
