More worlds...

I am sure to have visited at least two more: one ruled by the Knives of Artemis. The second ruled by The Family (no less!).

Also, the world ravaged by the war Dreck tries to take over has been destroyed in a war against The Council. I remember this, but I never took any screenshots of that, so if someone could check this, it would be great =)

Re: Dreck, this mission? User:StarGeek/sig 12:01, 27 September 2006 (PDT)
That's the one, Geek! =D There has been a war against the Council in that dimension, then. Probably the same that took the Council to the victory in the Council Empire dimension!
By the way: Am I the only one who finds strange that of all the dimensions discovered so far there isn't even one where Arachnos has won? :-?
I know, CoV and Arachnos were implemented time after CoH was launched, but having the devs that "bible" where all of the storyline present and future of the CoHverse is written...I don't know, I wouldn't expect that all the Arachnos and Lord Recluse part was created during the making of CoV... --Yakovlev 07:32, 28 September 2006 (PDT)

Praetorians and Riktis

Before someone makes this question...

If you are wondering how did I learn the Praetorian world had suffered a Rikti invasion, the answer is in this post made by Manticore:

"On Praetorian Earth, Mother Mayhem was forced by Tyrant to push her powers in order to help defeat the Rikti. When she realized she was burning out she imposed her will on a fledgling super called Northern Light. The will of Mother Mayhem keeps Northern Light prisoner within her own body. Mother Mayhem has shown no signs of wanting her old body back."

The date is 9 May 2005, in case you want to go to the official forums and search it.

BTW, this also explains the different appearances between Sister Psyche and her Mother Mayhem Praetorian counterpart. =)

Axis America vs Council Empire vs Reichsman's homeworld

Ok. I'm getting very, very confused about these three world. Or is it one world? Or two?

I'm sure part of my confusion has to do with the band-aid fashion in which parts of the 5th Column -> Council changeover was handled, and the fact that I did not start the game until shortly after that changeover occurred. As I understand it, the high level portal missions originally went to a 5th Column world, Axis America, I assume. When the changeover occurred, the same missions suddenly shifted without explanation to go to Council Empire instead. If these two have two different designations, then it's fairly ovious that we are dealing with different worlds, and not the same world where the Council replaced the 5th Column like they did here. If this is all true as I'm laying it out, then the note about not being able to visit Axis America likely needs to be updated to better reflect that it can be accessed "no longer", rather than "never".

Which leaves Reichsman. We know he came from a Nazi controlled world. But what evidence do we have that he actually came from the same world that we call Axis America? Or is it possible that he's from a separate world entirely? - Sister Leortha 08:54, 28 September 2006 (PDT)
