* PersecutedIntellectuals: The Heresy sees no merit in intellectuals, who will share their ideas and plans with interrogators before being sacrificed to Maar.

* {{Expy}}: Numerous elements of the Imperium of Griffonkind are deliberately based on the [[Characters/Warhammer40000Imperium Imperium of Man]] from ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'':
** The Imperium of Griffonkind, much like its namesake, is a theocratic monarchy ruled by the Imperial Cult of a corpse-Emperor that is barely kept alive by a life support device that also serves as his Throne.
** Their Star Knights, genetically-modified elite troops clad in armour made of thick ceramics and steel plates, wholly sealed and resistant to anything any regular soldier could unleash upon them, are modelled after Space Marines. An event describing them also echoes one of the Emperor of Mankind's quotes, which originated in the 3rd Edition core rulebook describing the Space Marines. Their main weapons are the Bolzengewehr, massive guns that fire not bullets, but rather small explosive shells using experimental rocket propellant. While ostensibly named after their inventor Belisar Bolzen, their name also invokes the identical boltguns which serve as the Space Marines' iconic weapon.
** With the Emperor's auspices, Belisar Bolzen turns the Yale Rectorate into the Cult of the Machine, where science becomes a sacred act, mirroring the Adeptus Mechanicus.
* PoweredArmor: Made from a combination of diamond dog and griffon technology as well as pony magic, Star Knight armour is stronger than that of both ironpaws and griffon knights, and demands preternatural strength from the wearer.
* SecretPolice: The Holy Imperial Inquisition is tasked with ensuring the spiritual purity of the Imperium. Their authority is absolute, their mandate divine, and they will do whatever it takes to ensure that heresy and treason do not fester in the Imperium.

* BloodKnight: The Coven of Blood exalts war as the most beautiful thing in the world, which awakens the soul and strengthens the body. It is through war that one can see who is truly living or dead, and the vampires are the ones that are truly alive.
* HumanResources: Since ghouls multiply fast and their blood is still nourishing, the Coven of Blood uses the blood of ghouls that die in factories to fuel their armies.
* ImmortalitySeeker: The Society of Bones seeks to put an end to the concept of life and mortality itself.
* MobileFactory: Living factories created by the Society of Bones are massive and complex creatures of flesh and bones that are capable of serving as a mobile industrial base. After this focus is taken, all of the Dread League's factories will be converted into offmap factories, and any future built factory will be offmap.

* TakeOverTheWorld: At the end of their focus tree, the Dread League launches the Black Crusade, providing them with claims on every state on the world.
* VisionaryVillain: This version of the Dread League has much more inspiring goals than the vanilla one, with the Society of Bones dreaming to end death itself and the Coven of Blood seeking the subjugation of time.

----
* AllForNothing: Completing all of the Canterlonian Regency's focuses reveals that [[spoiler:Celestia and Luna simply went on vacation to Zebrica and Twilight along with the rest of Equestria failed to get their note, meaning the five way civil war and the misery unleashed by the Regency was meaningless]].
* CivilWar: The disappearance of the two Princesses plunges Equestria into a five-way civil war.
* {{Crossover}}: With fellow [=HoI4=] mod ''VideoGame/TheNewOrderLastDaysOfEurope'' as part of the AprilFoolsDay event for 2022.
* {{Expy}}: All five states that emerge from shattered Equestria are all inspired by certain Russian warlords that are popular with the TNO community.
* PromotedToPlayable: The April Fools event is the first time Twilight herself is playable as a national leader from beginning to end for the most part, as in normla [=EaW=] playthroughs, she either only comes to power in the Crystal Empire as Sunrise Sparkle in a Daybreaker playthrough or [[spoiler:becomes Equestria's ruler at the tail end of the ELF's storyline]]. [[spoiler:At least, until she ascends to become Midnight]].
* ResetButton: [[spoiler:With all the Element Bearers dead by the time Celestia and Luna return from their potentially ''years'' long vacation, Celestia's only reaction is to state that she's prepared for this by keeping "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls others beyond the mirror portal]] to act as replacements". Celestia once again becomes ruler of Equestria as if nothing has happened... even if you were nearly complete with conquering all of Equus by the time they return]].
* SatelliteCharacter: Among the five warlords that emerge from the collapse of Equestria, only the Canterlonian Regency and the Union of Equestrian Socialist Republics have actual focus trees and can be tag-switched to. The other warlords only have generic focuses, and their content revolves entirely around their interactions with the playable ones.
* SecretCharacter: Gutriosa, Valery Stablein, Shostavia, and Platinum II only ever appear as leaders for the April Fools event.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The Buffalo Chiefdom and the Dragon Badlands enclave play no role in the collapse of Equestria, instead being automatically swallowed up by the Princessdom and the Equinists respectively.
* WholePlotReference: Fitting of being a crossover with ''The New Order'', Equestria's shattering echoes the situation in the former Russian SFSR, which shattered into numerous warlords by 1962. A full 1:1 recreation of the Russian Anarchy within Equestria would no doubt see ''many more'' warlords in the mix.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Despite being a Unicorn supremacist state, [[https://old.reddit.com/r/equestriaatwar/comments/tu3i5w/i_believe_in_unicorn_superiority/ they can still have Earth pony and Pegasi generals]].
* GratuitousGerman: The name of their ruling party is refereed to as the Ein. (short for Einhorn) Schwesternshaft, or Unicorn Sisterhood in English.

* {{Gorn}}: The focus icons for the Regency are among the most gruesome in the mod, if not in the entire game's modding community, with abounding images of mutilated bodies, faces with empty eyesockets, and bloodied knives.
* KillEmAll: The Regency shows no quarter to their enemies, with the leaders of all the breakaways and their supporters set to be exterminated upon the Regency's victory.
* KingInTheMountain: Regent Twilight ''insists'' that the Princesses will return someday and until then, Twilight will rule on their behalf and reunite Equestria. [[spoiler:She unknowingly is right. The Princesses return after the continent has been turned into a war-torn dystopia that just lost its dictator. [[ResetButton They bring in alternate copies to replace the dead characters, resume ruling and pretend nothing happened.]]]]
* PersecutionFlip: Upon defeating the Sisterhood, the Regency's focus "Shackle the Unicorns" implies they turn the Sisterhood's policy of slavery right back on them.
* RightfulKingReturns: Twilight ''wants'' the Princesses to return but much like Tsarevich Alexei, they're not ever coming back.
* SaltTheEarth: In the Focuses dedicated to fighting the Princessdom, one of their Focuses simply reads "Burn them Down". Given that Platinum II seems to be more of a BerserkButton than even the other leaders, the Princessdom after the Regency's victory might just very well be made a wasteland.
* ShoutOut: Outside of the obvious references to ''The New Order'' and its Holy Russian Empire, the Regency path also evokes the spirit of the classic ''[[Franchise/MyLittlePonyGeneration4 My Little Pony]]'' {{Creepypasta}}s of the early 2010s popularized by the infamous ''Fanfic/{{Cupcakes}}'' story, with the over-the-top gore, images like ponies with empty eyesockets, and the overall theme of child-friendly characters being corrupted.
* StateSec: Twilight's answer to Taboritsky's Imperial Shturmoviki are the Friendship Brigades, who carry out the Regent's orders without question.
* TheTheocracy: While still claiming to be the same Equestria from before the Princesses vanished, Twilight fully embracing the Celestial Cult turns Equestria into a theocracy that worships the Princesses as outright goddesses who demand Equestria to be wiped clean of traitors and heretics.

** Much like her TNO counterpart, Twilight is a loyal monarchist and only rules in the name of the Princesses.

** Also reflected in [[https://i.imgur.com/NUnQUla.jpg Twilight's trait]], which gives her a 15% boost to a number of areas and a 5% boost to recruitable population, but at the cost of a 15% reduction to stability.

[[folder:In General]]
----
* AllForNothing: Completing all of the Canterlonian Regency's focuses reveals that [[spoiler:Celestia and Luna simply went on vacation to Zebrica and Twilight along with the rest of Equestria failed to get their note, meaning the five way civil war and the misery unleashed by the Regency was meaningless]].
* CivilWar: The disappearance of the two Princesses plunges Equestria into a five-way civil war.
* {{Crossover}}: With fellow [=HoI4=] mod ''VideoGame/TheNewOrderLastDaysOfEurope'' as part of the AprilFoolsDay event for 2022.
* {{Expy}}: All five states that emerge from shattered Equestria are all inspired by certain Russian warlords that are popular with the TNO community.
* PromotedToPlayable: The April Fools event is the first time Twilight herself is playable as a national leader from beginning to end for the most part, as in normla [=EaW=] playthroughs, she either only comes to power in the Crystal Empire as Sunrise Sparkle in a Daybreaker playthrough or [[spoiler:becomes Equestria's ruler at the tail end of the ELF's storyline]]. [[spoiler:At least, until she ascends to become Midnight]].
* ResetButton: [[spoiler:With all the Element Bearers dead by the time Celestia and Luna return from their potentially ''years'' long vacation, Celestia's only reaction is to state that she's prepared for this by keeping "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls others beyond the mirror portal]] to act as replacements". Celestia once again becomes ruler of Equestria as if nothing has happened... even if you were nearly complete with conquering all of Equus by the time they return]].
* SatelliteCharacter: Among the five warlords that emerge from the collapse of Equestria, only the Canterlonian Regency and the Union of Equestrian Socialist Republics have actual focus trees and can be tag-switched to. The other warlords only have generic focuses, and their content revolves entirely around their interactions with the playable ones.
* SecretCharacter: Gutriosa, Valery Stablein, Shostavia, and Platinum II only ever appear as leaders for the April Fools event.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The Buffalo Chiefdom and the Dragon Badlands enclave play no role in the collapse of Equestria, instead being automatically swallowed up by the Princessdom and the Equinists respectively.
* WholePlotReference: Fitting of being a crossover with ''The New Order'', Equestria's shattering echoes the situation in the former Russian SFSR, which shattered into numerous warlords by 1962. A full 1:1 recreation of the Russian Anarchy within Equestria would no doubt see ''many more'' warlords in the mix.

* GratuitousGerman: The name of their ruling party is refereed to as the Ein. (short for Einhorn) Schwesternshaft, or Unicorn Sisterhood in English.

* HateSink: Gloriosa is a Unicorn supremacist who turns non-unicorns to slaves and is the most vile of all of the warlords. Regent Twilight's actions at least stem from snapping under the pressure of her situation, but Gutriosa has no reason for her cruelty.
* IdenticalStranger: Bears more than a passing resemblance to Rarity, right down to the color scheme.[[spoiler:This is not a coincidence.]]
