A little late... but Tyrant was RIGHT!

Wasn't that by player demand?

Which is why Supers were targeted, and only Supers.

That's because it is

And anyone who fought back against Tyrant's stormtroopers - plus the loyalist invasion plan outlined how they were going to mind scan the entire surviving population of Primal Earth to discover any potential "troublemakers" who could be "dealt with".
So their range of targets when invading covered anyone who stood against them, and anyone who might think about resisting them in the future - and with 7 billion people involved, that was going to create a pretty high body count.
And as the loyalists planned to conquer the multiverse, thay'd rack up a pretty impressive kill score in each dimension they enslaved.
The Praetorian war isn't just about saving Primal Earth and Praetoria form the loyalists - it's about saving all of existence from them.

Don't forget that Praetoria was planned form the start to be the first enemy in the Incarnate storyline, so it had to be an evil place to provide a suitable enemy for Heores, as co-op content has a heroic theme.
The war is also set up to follow the patern of the most popular original "endgame" content - the Maria Jenkin's arc - so we hunt the loyalist AVs down in their various lairs, until we finally confront Tyrant - only this time, instead of setting free just one hero, we're setting free an entire world.

Distancing himself from the evil acts of his loyalists helps him keep up his self-image as a hero, and keep up the "for the greater good" lie.

If you ran the UG trial you would know that this is false.

The War Walkers were built to not fight at full potential when there was any civilian presence around.

Tyrant EXECUTES the commander of one of his forces who ignores this and deliberately attacks skyway(?) with hamidon spores, and he abandons Valkyrie for causing damage to the city as well, AND he sends Duncan to try and put a stop to Mot.

And he is somehow a generic, card carrying villain?

I thank you for reading the content.

Do not obfuscate the truth with cries for "proof" in a thinly veiled attempt to circumvent evidence obtained from Primitive Earth's own agents, send to destroy the last vestiges of humanity in the multiverse.

The Bold Defenders of True Earth do not answer to so-called primals. We have a much higher calling than Primitive Earth's petty warmongering.

(Also, it's right there. In the quoted text.)

Glad to see Reppu is once again flinging personal attacks wrapped in "I am the RP god and you will listen to me or you're a n00b" statements.

That said, thread milestone achieved! The term Hyperbole has been used!

Coming up next: ad hominem!

But he's fine with nuking Nova Praetoria - for the greater good, of course

When he's planning a war that will slaughter trillions of people as part of his plan to take over all of existence, he probably doesn't want another entity going power because of it.

He plans to conquer the multiverse - that puts him in the big league of naughty types.

We never said he was sane, we said he had some scraps of common sense left.

You're going to be so disappointed with I23

By the time of the Magisterium Trial, he's got about as many scraps of common sense left as he's got friends and allies

I never demanded it.

Right. But at the time he punched his commander into oblivion he still had quite a bit.

Which was already evacuated, wasn't it?

the only people he'd be killing would be the incarnates and whatever was left of Recluse's army

Knowing the stakes, defeat will not only spell the end of True Earth, but also the end of mankind. We will fight to the bitter end, no matter the cost. If we succumb, so be it, but know that your villainy will not go unopposed.

(Techically, he order Anti-Matter to let Arachnos' plan to blow up Neuropolis continue unopposed. But we don't talk about that.)

Not really - planning to conquer the multiverse shows that he'd gone totally crazy before the war even started

Actually, it's been suggested that Primal Erath is called that because of how it's like a dimensional hub, with links to more dimensions than other Earths have, which is why it's such an important target for multiverse conquerors.

Wouldn't be the first time someone had assumed they were the centre of the universe.

Right. He didn't.

When the strongest force of your enemy is clustered in one place and all previous attacks have failed to produce noticeable effect... yes. Go big. he knew from past experience that he'd be fine. Hopefully we wouldn't be and then he could go about rebuilding.
