Yeah... I'd love to see a final fight with Praetorian Hamidon go down.
I'd like to think that with Cole vanquished, Hamidon might not be aware of any survivors given how Cole goes down, taking life with him. Maybe he'd chillax for a bit till he realises his attacks aren't being stopped and then be the epilogue for the Praetorian storyline.

Build a new incarnate zone ala new Dark Astoria where we deal with the aftermath of the war.
Make Hamidon a raid like the Rikti Mothership Raid. Not exactly like it, but a big zone event that requires people from all over to come together.
I like zone events, and we only have one epic size zone event. We could use another.
EDIT: reuse or adapt both the underground trial maps and the Eden trial maps. Eden trial maps need to be used more.
I definitely want to take down the Praetorian Hamidon. It makes sense that after we take down Cole we have the post-war mess to deal with, and the biggest part of that being the gigantic monster that wants to exterminate humanity from that entire dimension as well as ours.
It's gotta be huge. I imagine several times larger than the seed. I figure that it will be either a trial or a zone where the Praetorian Hamidon has "infected" the entire thing, with tentacles and monsters covering an entire city.

I would love to see this but rather than another trial have it as a good old fashioned task force.
Having the Praetorian Hamidon break though into Primal Earth in Edden would be a good excuse to totally revamp the zone using the higher quality trees and plants and texture blending for the ground.

I say we capture it and use it as a WMD against the Battallion.
Praetoria can burn in a fire as far as I'm concerned. After almost two years, I'm sick to the back teeth of it. So no, Hamidon can consume the rest of the world and be happy.
The only time I want to see him again is if we have to make him an ally in order to take on the Battalion.

I believe Posi stated in his open letter that i23 dealt with taking down Tyrant, and i24 was basically wrapping up all the loose ends, which would include Praetorian Hamidon.
And really Venture? As much as you despise Praetoria, they can't just go "Nope, it's all done!" and leave Prae Hami as a loose plot thread. As someone who claims to be such an expert in good writing, you should know you can't leave something like that just waving free.

Praetoria gets the unhappy ending; an object lesson, as if we needed one, as to why surrendering liberty for safety obtains neither.

With all the power of Rule 34 i say to the OP that, nay, i wish to never see the Praetorian Hamidon go down. The very thought churns the stomach and scars the mind's eye!
But knowing Rule 34 i also realize all protestations are for naught. *shudders*
That said, i would like the opportunity to directly take on and defeat the Praetorian Hamidon even if it was only a temporary victory.

Praetorian Cole still managed to singlehandedly force Praetorian Hamidon to the bargaining table. Then the Well powered him up to be its champion. Then we killed him. He picked a fight with us when he was vastly more powerful than when he stalemated Praetorian Hamidon, and we've straight up killed him and any of his friends who got in our way.
Depending on how much it knows, it might also be aware that the Primal Hamidon has not achieved the same world domination because Primal has so many powerful heroes we dogpiled it to death even after a colossal interdimensional war. A dogpile, it should be noted, that wasn't even Incarnated. Now it is.
Realisitically the Praetorian Hamidon has been given a hell of a lot of reasons to never want to see Primal Earth ever, ever again.
I really want to have an opinion on the matter, but considering pretty much everything important that happens in Praetoria takes place in iTrials. I find myself largely unconcerned about the fate of Praetoria in much the same way as I find myself uninterested in the results of the British soccer cup finals - it's stuff I neither know anything about nor participate in.

Just off of the top of my head these are the things that come to mind with the 'End of the Praetorian War'
1. Refugees of all the Praetorian groups in Primal Earth looking for a new start/niche with attending story arcs.
2. Praetorian story arcs in the post-apocalyptic/survivalist vein to rebuild.
3. Raid/Trial to take on Praetorian Hamidon.
I like the Praetorian stuff, but then again, I didn't overplay it and get burnt out. I still have toons that are over there. I have toons that started there that are still loyal to Cole and others that would want to go back to rebuild after he's gone.
