    It is - but you need to "buy" it for free from the market to unlock it.

    Chimera could be put under the command of Belladonna.

    A typical loyalist

    I've only ever met Reese in the tutorial - he's like a signpost for directing people to join the Resistance with his loyalists ranting about having to comply, and "disappearing" if you don't.

    That doesn't make him incompetent - it makes him immoral.
    For example, apart from when story requirements came first, the Empire in Star Wars was portrayed as pretty competent - but it was also totally immoral.

    Actually, he was extremely good at it - that's what made him the most dangeous AV we've met so far.

    That whole arc is another nice touch - the hopeless search for a superweapon to reverse the tide of the war as the allied forces close in

    He offers the last three who follow him the opportunity to rest. He reflects on how the option of fighting at full power would have destroyed the home he loved, how he could fight without restraint now that his world had been ruined.

    My favorite part of that personal story was how he admits to himself that fighting Primal Earth was his biggest mistake, and that his choice to do so had destroyed Praetoria.
    The bunker setting was certainly a nice historical touch

    That's what Tyrant's personal story mission is for
    It gives the stiff-armers one final glimpse of their glorious Leader before the Heroes tear down his reich.

    They should just give the Prometheus model a trollface

    Seriously, why is the keeper of the Incarnate Lore a giant blueberry-colored ***hole?
    I think it's so that Villains will feel like he's one of them, even when they're being asked to help the Heroes.

    From the I20 overview:

    "Emperor Cole's ultimate goal is not to hold ultimate sway over our Earth, but to conquer the entire multiverse."

    Plus, Ramiel spells it out in the I20 Trailer:

    He wants to conquer the multiverse, starting with Primal Earth - his plan is to rule all of existence.

    Can you honestly say Praetoria is better off because the Primals went there?
    Of coruse - we've torn down the loyalist dictatoship and set the people free.

    Quote:
    As opposed to, say, a message sent from Statesman to Emperor Cole, "Look, we don't want a war, I'll do my best to keep anyone from my dimension going there if you don't send any of your guys here"?
    Appeasing fascist dictatorships doesn't have a good tack record.

    Quote:
    True, that didn't happen and might not have worked, there was a war and we needed to take it to Praetoria to avoid Praetoria conquering our dimension. But let's not pretend we did it to "liberate" Praetoria or that the net result of the war was in any way whatsoever good for Praetoria.
    The Praetorians are now free - they're in a way better state than they were under the oppression of the loyalist dictatorship.

    And the only logical response to theft is to conquer the multiverse.
