Manipulating palpatine, being described as having cunning and charisma akin to palpatine, impressing palpatine so much that he was made head of imperial intelligence, impressing palpatine so much that he was literally entrusted to run the empire if palpatine ever died. And the entire battle of mindor

Yes it did
Yep the shattered galactic empire all seemed to believe it
Please Cronals darksight is far superior to Revans lack luster precognition. Not only can see multiple futures years in advance, he can see the necessary steps needed to achieve said futures. His empire could win off of this alone
Hint: he did die and Cronal was his chosen place holder.
You can hide your true emotions with laughter but they wont go away. Battle of Mindor in a nutshell. Cronal forces the New Republic to engage in a hopeless battle where great tacticians such as Lando, Admiral Akbar, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo all have no hope of winning because of how well planned out the battle was
In the limited, biased viewpoint of the narrator echoing Cronal's thoughts - sure.
Good for them?
I would like a quote for "years," but even then it is still mediocre. Revan can predict the path of entire wars.
"Shadowspawn claimed to have been handpicked by Palpatine to be his steward..."
―Star Wars: Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor
The fact Palpatine did die is completely irrelevant. The fact he didn't plan to die is essential - it means he never planned or cared about Cronal succeeding him.
Show me which part of this I missed that elevated him above Revan, tbh.

Where everything he said already happened. If a character is thinking to themselves about the past, how then does that make it false? If the Emperor had seen through Cronals deceit then Cronal would have been dead already.
Agreed.
Only a few days after the Battle of Yavin, Cronal had cast his mind deep into the void, seeking the future of the young Rebel pilot who had destroyed the Death Star, and he found him as an older, more seasoned man, dressed in dark robes¨Dand bearing a lightsaber.
My fate...will be the same as my father's
Which was when Conal finally understood who Darth Vader was, and saw the terrible flaw that would bring the Order of the Sith to its ultimate destruction. A destruction that Cronal not only was determined to survive, but was certain he could transform into an eternal victory for the Dark.
- Shadow of Mindor
Cronal sees an alternant future where Luke who is "Older" and "More seasoned" and is evidently Sidious's apprentice.
Now I know what your going to say "That future didn't happen so itz bullshit!" but Darksight lets him see ALL possible futures. This is Cronal seeing a possible future several years in advance.
Way to ignore the sentence exactly before that quote LOL
But the upstart in question had received Klick's fighter wing with welcome instead of combat... and greeted him with an array of authentic command codes, even Palpatine's own secret codes that had been buried in the deep core programming Klick had received in the cr¨¨che on Kamino.
- Shadow of Mindor
Incorrect. Palpatine planned that if he ever were to die he would bring himself back from chaos. And Cronal possessed Palpatines own secret codes that no one else in the galaxy knew.
The part where he was 3 steps ahead of several of that era's best tacticians, destroyed a large Republic fleet including one of the biggest and most advanced ships ever built, and would have gotten away scott free if Luke Skywalker wasn't so damn powerful

Revan is not only agood tactician, is a good strategist, there is a difference ebtween being a good tactician and strategist...
Darksight>Battle Precognition For sur, but Revan preco is as insane as the Darksight of a Rhand sorcerer.....
Revan is tzeench incarnate, (+He wanted the death of the Jedi order, that represent immobility like Nurgle) he is the only being to close Tzeentch mastery of planing in the star war universe, way before sidious or Bane....
Of course for a mortal a pêrfect plan couldn't be conceived, because Malak sucessfully escape Revan preco....
Like sidious with order 66 and his power to cloud the eprception of the Jedi in the entire galaxy...

I can't tell if serious, or just really stupid.
