* AttackDrone: Aircraft Carriers have Sky Knight and Paladin drones. The Claymoore Drone Missiles and Quasar Drones are independent from other units but with human controllers at the base instead. Averted with the Mesofortress Gunship's Lamprey manned anti-air fighters.

* CastFromHitPoints: A Barkhausen Projector can disable the safeties to fire continuously at the cost of damaging itself.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: The Allies fight for world peace and fundamental human rights without being asked to. This has bitten them in the ass many times since many regions do not actually want their meddling.
* ColourCodedTimestop: Effects that play with time are red or blue depending on if they speed it up or slow it down. Justified by the Doppler Effect changing the wavelength of light.
* ControlFreak: The Allies are very PR conscious and really do not like media working against them. They also have far more influence in their member countries than they like to admit and enjoy that position.
* CoolPlane: Sort of their thing. The Achilles, their coolest planes, are actually '''fusion-powered rocketships with wings'''.
* CryonicsFailure: One of the reasons of freezing enemies in the first place.

** Javelin Soldiers can toggle between using or not using their target painters, taking longer to acquire a lock but boosting the range and power of each shot.

** Rocket Pathfinders can switch between anti-tank and anti-air modes to defend against whichever threat is most pressing.
** Guardian Tanks can switch between a conventional cannon and a target designator to paint enemies, doubling the damage they take.
** Icarus AA Guns must deploy its weapon before firing, reducing its speed in the process.
** Stewart Tanks can switch between tracking missiles most effective against tanks and HE rounds better suited to destroying fortifications.
** Instead of firing in bursts, a Particle Expeller can switch to using superheavy elements that deal less single-target damage in a bigger area.
** A Planck Compressor can switch between slowing down a targeted unit, or speeding them up.
** Hydrofoils can switch between normal anti-air guns and scrambleguns, which disable the weapons of their targets.
** The Swan Amphibious Plane, being a seaplane, can both fly and move on water.
** The Pion Isospin Array can clear garrisons and pick off individual infantry from long range, or switch to generating a field that kills all infantry in the area surrounding it.
** The Bohr Wavefunction Adjuster has two settings which will switch the target's armour from infantry to tank armour or tank armour to infantry.
** The Falcon Command Helicopter can freely take off and land on all terrain. All of its guns remain functioning when landed, but it is unable to move.
* EliteArmy: In comparison to other armies, they are highly on the quality side of QuantityVsQuality. This however means they are almost always undermanned.
* EnemyExchangeProgram:
** Spies can bribe enemies for a price, causing them to defect to your side.
** The Pavlov has a sonic signaller which cause enemy animals to have a change of heart and turn against their masters.

* EvilDetectingDog: Attack Dogs are German Shepherd dogs in armoured sweaters that can sniff enemy spies and stealth units.

* FlatEarthAtheist: Are straight up called this in their faction bible. They simply have yet to figure out the fact that the Red Alert universe is weird and probably never will.
* FoodPills: Since real food is difficult to come by in war-torn countries, many branches of the Allied Peacekeeper Corps have started issueing food pills containing all vitamins, minerals and whatnot to keep their soldiers fed. [[{{Deconstruction}} Many soldiers are developing chronic depressions because they aren't actually eating anything]].
* ForScience: After defeating Communism, this is the Allies' main motivation.
* FreezeRay: The Cryocopter, Alert Icebreaker and Cryo Tower are capable of freezing targets to sub-zero temperatures.
* FriendlySniper: The Riflemen are cheery 1960s swingers. Yeah, baby!
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: After fighting two wars against Communism, the Allies are adopting increasingly Sovietic policies. They appointed the next U.S. President, for one.
* HumanPopsicle: Convicted war criminals are kept frozen in Allied cryo-prisons. Maybe [[FateWorseThanDeath forever]].

* NoSell: The Bohr Waveform Adjuster messes with the traditional counter system, so bullets bounce off infantry and tanks ignore AT weapons. It works on enemies, too.
* OneWorldOrder: One of their goals.
* PoweredArmor: Peacekeeper armour is a sealed suit with an unpowered exoskeleton.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: The Athena Cannons direct solar powered space death rays, while the Ares are solar-powered tanks with similar death rays.
* PowerFist: The Rocketeers' Proton Gauntlets can punch through tanks.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: The Alert Icebreaker freezes groups of enemies and then rams them to finish them off.
* RayGun: Sepctrum cannons are armament of the Mirage Tanks, Spectrum Towers and various other units. Also act as targeting systems.
* RaygunGothic: It's dubbed ''"Jetpunk"''; a more modern take on RaygunGothic tropes.
* ReadTheFreakingManual: Turns out the [[InstantDeathRadius Pion Isospin Array]] has a friend-or-foe designator, but only the most experienced operators have read that far in the instructions to know that.
* RealityBleed: GAP technology. It's safe. As far as they know.
* SapientCetaceans: Sentient sonic-armed dolphins.
* ScienceHero: Captain Rocket and the Rocketeers. The whole faction sort of plays this angle.
* ScienceIsBad, [[ScienceIsUseless useless]] and [[ScienceIsWrong wrong]]: They defy and discuss all of these and are convinced that science is both in itself good unless when misused and the tool necessary to improve humanity.
* SchizoTech: Freeze weapons, space ships and time manipulation, yet only 1960s computers. They're also looking into nuclear fusion because they find fission too complicated.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Peacekeepers' shotguns can kill regular enemy infantry in two shots, and when very close to their target, even vehicles might be in trouble.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: MASS tech, which allows the Allies to shrink and grow their units, as well engage in [[FantasticVoyagePlot internal surgery]].
* SniperRifle: Allied Riflemen use these to pick off enemy infantry from far away.
* SomeoneHasToDoIt: Who else will police the world?
* SquishyWizard: Experimental vehicles tend towards serious, game-changing effects, but they have paper thin armour.
* StickySituation: ''"GOOP"'' is a sticky, rapidly expanding oxygen-permiable pink foam that the Allies have taken to spraying on everyone who disagrees with them that they aren't allowed to kill.
* TakingTheBullet: Singularity Towers draw enemy fire towards themselves, protecting units and structures within their radius of effect.
* TeleFrag: (Ab)use of the Chronosphere against infantry results in this.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: The Chronosphere and Rosen Bridging Tanks teleport troops past rough terrain, enabling them to emerge unscathed on the other side.
* TimeTravel: The Chronosphere works based on this, but is effectively more like a mass [[TeleportersAndTransporters teleporter]].
* TotalitarianUtilitarian: Those critical of the Allies tend to see them as this.
* {{Tsundere}}: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]] with Athena-tan, an [[MoeAnthropomorphism anthropomorphic]] Athena Cannon.

* AirborneAircraftCarrier: Zhukov War Zeppelins house missile armed [=LaGG-68=] interceptors to swat away helicopters.
* AmazonBrigade: Soviet Snipers are exclusively female.
* ArchEnemy: The Allied Nations and the Soviet Union have been arch-nemeses for as long as ''Red Alert'' has existed.
* ArmyOfThievesAndWhores: Flak Troopers are convicts given freedom in exchange for having to do community service.
* BearsAreBadNews: War Bears are armoured and can be man-cannoned and parachuted.
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece:
** Anvil Heavy Tanks are the same old Heavy Tanks from [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert the first Red Alert]], pressed into service again in order to augment Soviet tank divisions.
** Elephant Tanks have sat mothballed since the end of the Second Great War until being repurposed as mobile command centres for Soviet commanders.
* ButtMonkey: Essentially an entire faction of these. They try real hard, but nothing ever seems to go right for them.
* CastFromHitPoints: Microhammer Tanks can overclock their engines and autoloaders, increasing rate of fire and speed, but damaging the tank over time. Dreadnoughts, Kirov Airships and Zhukov War Zeppelins can do the same thing, which does not increase speed (for Dreadnoughts) or rate of fire (for Kirovs and Zhukovs).
* CommieLand
* {{Conscription}}: [[HistoricalInJoke Guess.]] Then we have the obvious [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Conscripts.]]
* ContinuityNod: The Anvil Tanks, designated as ''"CannonFodder Battle Tank"'', are the Red Alert 1 Heavy Tanks.
* CoolAirship: The Barrage Ballons, Kirov Airships and Zhukov War Zeppelins.
* CoolTank: Many, MANY cool tanks. One for every task imaginable, in fact.
* DefenselessTransports: Dump Trucks serve the Soviet Union as cheap and unarmed transports for infantry.
* DeployableCover: Combat Engineers can set up makeshift bunkers which can be garrisoned by friendly infantry.
* DieselPunk
* DirtyCommunists: The Soviet Union looks like something right out of a Red Scare B-movie, though they are more seriously treated than in vanilla Red Alert 3.
* DualModeUnit:
** Flak Troopers can switch between anti-air flak cannons and anti-tank magnetic mines.
** Threshers can temporarily trade speed and the 50mm guns to deploy a 75mm anti-tank gun more effective against tank grade armour.
** The Perun Tank Destroyer is effectively a walking gun. Helpless while on the move, the Perun can only fire once unpacked into turret mode.
** The Mag-Lift Tank can switch between pulling enemy vehicles towards your tanks and lifting them up and put them at the mercy of anti-air.
** The Flaming Ivan can switch between assault gun mode, where it specialises in destroying defences with its cannon, and mortar mode where it specialises in clearing garrisons and creating firestorms with Molotov cocktails.
** The Manta Ekranoplan is able to switch between a pair of anti-air flak turrets and an anti-sub depth charge launcher.
* ExtraOreDinary: Their magnetic weapons can actually rip armour off enemy tanks and reinforce their own armour with it.
* FoeTossingCharge: The Scythe can be ordered to charge. Due to the sheer bulk of the Scythe, it can literally send tanks flying backwards.
* GoingCritical: What a Super Reactor does when sufficiently damaged.
* HollywoodAcid: Desolator Defoliant is not ''"just"'' acidic; it's a cocktail of potent chemical agents, it produces toxic vapours, and it's primarily capable of breaking down things like rubber and flesh.
* InstantArmor: Soviet Ore Collectors and low-level defences can instantly cover themselves in armour, greatly increasing durability and repairing themselves in exchange for being unable to perform their normal functions.
* KillSat: Magnetic satellites that can suck up armoured units.
* LifeDrain: Vampire Leech Walkers can leech enemy vehicles, draining them of their health while repairing friendly vehicles within its radius of effect.
* LightningCanDoAnything: Zap enemy infantry down to the skeletons? Check. Charge up nearby Tesla Coils? Check. Jump from target to target? Oh yes.
* LightningGun: Tesla weapons.
* LimitedLoadout: In addition to jet aircraft, a Hammerhead must return to base to rearm when it has expended all five of its missiles. Downplayed with Yaks, which only need to return to the base to reload their bombs, not their chain guns.
* MolotovCocktail: Conscripts are armed with Molotov cocktails to burn buildings and clear garrisons.
* MugglesDoItBetter: Everyone else is experimenting with psionic powers as fast as they can, but the Soviets have already figured out how to burn out telepathic intrusion with doublethink.
* NobleDemon: ''"They'll use Desolators to slow the Allied advance in Normandy, but they'll make damn sure everyone is evacuated first."''
* NotSoBadassLongcoat: Conscripts. [[ZergRush Alone, anyway]].
* TheParalyzer: The Potemkin Warship can use its magnetic harpoon to lock a ship in place while letting the very slow Potemkin close in.
* ThePoliticalOfficer: Commissars are used to spread the Revolutionary spirit throughout the ranks by propaganda and example.
* PoweredArmor: The Gagarin X is a man in a heavily armoured space suit that grants him enhanced strength and a surprising resilience to small arms fire.
* PretextForWar: Cherdenko invades Europe using the shooting down of Gary Power's spy plane as an excuse.
* SelectiveMagnetism: They base weapons, including ''"orbital weapons"'', on this principle.
* ShinyLookingSpaceships: Chromed even.
* ShedArmorGainSpeed: Alkonosts' Psych Up ability increases the speed and ferocity of nearby units but lowers their defence with every use.
* ShockAndAwe
* SmokeOut: Grenadiers have a supply of smoke grenades, which they can use to create smokescreens that protect those within from being attacked, although they are unable to fire out.
* SovietSuperscience
* SpaceMarine: Conscriptnaughts are glorified conscripts in spacesuits; the protocol that deploys them is called 'Space Marines'.
* SpiderTank: Sickles, Threshers, Vampires and Alkonosts are quadrupedal walkers; Scythes are hexapodal.
* SuicideAttack: A weird case is the Crisis Drone, because when it explodes it ''heals'' stuff around it.
* TakingTheBullet: The Scrapper Tank's giant plow can be used to soak up the attacks of enemies.
* TheTunguskaEvent: Origin of magnetic weapons.
* TractorBeam: Magnetic harpoons suck enemy vehicles towards the grinders of the Apocalypse Tanks. If the target is a large vehicle or a structure, the Apocalypse gets closer to it instead.
* VodkaDrunkenski: The whole lot of them are implied to be drunks. A sniper's final test is supposedly to shoot an empty vodka bottle from nearly a kilometer right after emptying aforementioned bottle.
* WeaponsThatSuck: The Vacuum Imploder, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin true to its name]], creates a sphere of perfect vacuum which sucks in everything in range to destroy.
* XRaySparks: Again, thanks to tesla tech.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: Mag-Lift and Apocalypse Tanks can pull enemy ground vehicles towards themselves (and in the Apocalypse's case, their grinders).

* ActionBomb: The Burst Drone can self destruct while attached to an enemy vehicle to damage it. Final Squadron summons a squadron of suicide drones armed with kinetic weapons into the enemy position while shooting everything they can.
* AirborneAircraftCarrier: The Masakari Drone Command is armed with a variety of drones. In both naval and aerial modes, the Aerial Battleship Musashi has a complement of Stellar Angel Fighter Bombers providing air cover and scouting.
* AmazonBrigade: Rocket Angels and Battle Psychics are exclusively female.
* {{Animeland}}: Their military units include psychic magical girls in SailorFuku and HumongousMecha. Their superweapon is a psychic explosion, and the engineer is a salaryman.
* ArchaicWeaponForAnAdvancedAge: Shinobi are armed with nothing more than regular steel swords and throwing stars.
* ArtificialIntelligence: They are the leaders in this science field thanks to their Nanotechnology.
* BarrierWarrior: The Tedate can lay down a short-lived Nano-Shield, which will fend off most attacks of ground units, but cannot move when doing so.
* BaseOnWheels: The Incredible Mobile Fortress Tatsu is a mobile airfield that can construct and support up to six dedicated aircraft, repair and rearm friendly units and transport a large number of ground vehicles.
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: Their war motivation under former Emperor Yoshiro.
* BeehiveBarrier: Nanoswarm shields.
* BifurcatedWeapon: An oversized version, the Hanzo Zs' Hyper Rifles can have underbarrel electrospectrum guns.
* CastFromHitPoints: Th Hot Blooded protocol causes all affected mecha units to gain speed, armour and attack power as they are slowly but steadily damaged.
* ChargedAttack: The Wave-Force Artillery can fire at different energy settings. By default it always fires at max-capacitance, but can be ordered to discharge its weapon prematurely at the cost of reducing damage.
* CombiningMecha: The Sentai Command Mecha is formed from the combination of seven custom vehicles.
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: An actual mechanic for the overhauled Shinobi. Alone, they are incredibly badass with shuriken deactivating vehicles, smoke bombs making them invisible, several weapons completely failing to hit them and chain-slashing infantry with their ninja-to and lightning speed. However, if two (or more) friendly Shinobi are in the same area, they heavily nerf each other to the point of being even worse than they were in vRA3.
* CoolBoat: Lots, like the Naginata Torpedo Cruisers or the Shogun Battleships.
* CoolShades: Tsukumogami Proto-Suits have [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina shades]].
* DefenselessTransports: Sudden Transports and Ikiryo Mini-Mechas have no weapons to defend themselves.

* DressingAsTheEnemy: The Sudden Transport can project the external appearance of any vehicle, friendly or enemy.
* DroneDeployer: The Tanuki can release small drones to intercept vehicles and slow them down with electromagnetic pulses to allow the Tanuki to escape.
* DualModeUnit:
** Tankbusters can bury into the ground, which prevents them from being crushed and makes them stealthed, but prevents them from moving or firing.
** The Masamune can switch between anti-air rocket pods and shock paddles that can temporarily disable enemy vehicles and buildings.
** Rocket Angels can switch between firing rockets and using a whip to disable ground targets.
** Battle Psychics can take down both ground and air targets with telekinetic darts or switch to psychic shields to intercept enemy attacks.
** The Jishin can burrow into the ground, turning itself into a powerful anti tank turret. Obviously, it is immobile in this state.
** In wheeled form, the Izanagi can move fast and use kinetic-burst autocannons and missile pods. Switching into walker form sacrifices its speed and allows it to use its Fujiwara cannon, a weapon of devastating power.
** The Tengu can switch forms between an amphibious anti-infantry walker and a swift air superiority fighter.
** The Kitsune can transform from a fast but unarmed quad to a mecha, armed with a sniper cannon.
** The missile armed VX can go from anti-air walker to anti-tank helicopter.
** When in water, the Samehada Buster Mecha can transform into a submarine, which prevents it from firing on land vehicles.
** In tank mode, the Nezumi uses a heavy machine gun turret, before it deploys into the slow mecha form, which is armed with a large, indirect artillery piece.
** The Sea-Wing anti-aircraft submarine can transform into the Sky-Wing ground attack aircraft.
** In its default state, the Musashi cruises across the sea, and despite its massive size, it can take off into the air and stay aloft.
* {{Facepalm}}: One of the animations of the Hanzo Z.
* FragileSpeedster: The Empire army focuses on mobility, with fast, amphibious units that lack durability.
* HitAndRunTactics: The Isha Vector Jet Tank is an amphibious and extremely fast flanker with limited ammunition designed to attack the enemy, then rush back.
* HonorBeforeReason: Shinobi show the full extent of their powers when alone, but refuse to work with each other, even if means certain death.
* HotBlooded: An actual ability which increases combat effectiveness of [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann all mecha units]].
* HotSubOnSubAction: Yari Mini-Subs are very good against other subs.
* HumongousMecha: Prime unit class. Has a dedicated building only for Mecha production.
* IfItSwimsItFlies: The Sea/Sky Wings and Tsurugi Submersible Fighters can do this.
* JackOfAllTrades: Their units, especially the TransformingMecha, are quite versatile but none really excel in any role that much.
* JapanTakesOverTheWorld: It did not work with military means, so they are trying it with economical means which works quite well.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Imperial Warriors and Shinobi are armed with surprisingly lethal katanas.
* LaserBlade: Imperial Warriors use superheated Katana to OneHitKill enemy infantry.
* LimitedLoadout: An Isha Vector Jet Tank's ammunition is limited, and it has to return to base for reloading.
* LockedOutOfTheFight: Its secondary allows the Tedate to shut down a unit completely, turning it indestructible in the process.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Hanzo Z mecha wear shields, in true Franchise/{{Gundam}} fashion.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Missiles are a Japanese speciality and comes in rapid fire and volley fire varieties.
* MiniMecha: Ikiryo Mini-Mechas, which are used to [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann hijack]] enemy vehicles and are piloted by champions of the [[Series/TakeshisCastle boot camp's obstacle course]].
* MotionCaptureMecha: Hanzo Z suits.
* {{Ninja}}: Shinobi are the Japanese infiltration unit, armed with a giant sword and throwing stars.
* NobodyHereButUsStatues: The Holotree Sniper can deploy a sniper perch equipped with a holographic projection device, which makes the perch resemble an unassuming object.
* OneHitPolykill: The Wave-Force Artillery fires blasts of energy that can pass through multiple targets.
* TheParalyzer: The Masamune can deliver a shock to temporarily disable vehicles and buildings.
* PsychicPowers: Psychic powers are used by Battle Psychics, Yuriko Omega and the Psionic Decimator.
* {{Roboteching}}: Almost everyone in the setting uses dumbfire rockets or primative early IR or radar tracking missiles. The Empire have AIs dedicated to controlling missile swarms. It shows.
* RocketPunch: The Kintaro, using traditional rocket punchs, but attached to a chain for retracting: allowing them to grab enemies from a distance.
* SchizoTech: Giant Robots? Check. Nanotechnology? Check. Radar? Not so much.
* SmokeOut: A shinobi can throw a smoke bomb to cover his tracks and escape.
* SpiderTank: In wheeled form, an Izanagi moves with six legs.
* SpyBot: Burst Drones are robots that serve the role of scouting and snuffing out spies.
* SquishyWizard: Although they can bolster the durability of friendly units with psychic shields, Battle Psychics are rather lightly armoured and squishy by themselves.
* {{Transhuman}}: A good variety.
* WorkerUnit: Nanocores unfurl into structures at any given location but are very barely armoured.
* {{Yakuza}}: Makes a load of problems for everyone.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: A Kintaro can launch its right hand as a deadly rocket to strike enemy vehicles and reel them in.

* ActionBomb: RC Cars can explode via ability. Their power can be increased with the bombs of the Bomb Trucks, which however is not a suicider himself.
* AmazonBrigade: The aptly named Amazon Warriors, which while not as elite as Minutemen or Delta Rangers can pack a punch on the units the other two cannot effectively fight.
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: The vast majority of their equipment are aging [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert WW2]] vehicles.
* CombatPragmatist: To make up for their obsolete tech, they use the dirtiest tactics in the game. Several types of land mines and booby traps, ambushes, fake structures, RC cars with bombs on them, invisiblity, electronics jamming, tunneling and stealing enemy resources are all fair game.
* ContinuityNod: The Confederate equipment is the over-15-year-old tech left over from the first ''"Red Alert"'' game.
* CustomUniform: ''Everyone''. The Confederates have no official uniform; the closest to it are grey overalls, and they can't even get everyone to wear those. Notable for being the only side where infantry of the same type have different appearences.
* DeepSouth: Used as a theme, though their members come from all over America and all walks of life.
* DefenselessTransports: Jackson [=APCs=], Transport Trucks and Omni-Landers have no weapon whatsoever.
* EagleLand: Both types 1 and 2 are present.
* EarthquakeMachine: The Resonance Jackhammer offensive superweapon shatters enemies with a pulse of seismic energy.
* EvilDetectingDog: Doberman Guard Dogs can sniff spies and stealth units.
* IncrediblyObviousBomb: Bomb Trucks lay those.
* InvisibilityCloak: PAWI Tech paints over people and the machinery they use with ''"blank"'' images.
* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: The counterculture's experimentation with LSD has created a whole bunch of psychics.
* MundaneUtility: Radar Domes are used as hydroponic bays when not otherwise in use.
* NewAgeRetroHippie: Tunnel Rats and Flower Children are this.
* NoseArt: Many Confederate air planes have NoseArt that ranges from subtle to fairly blatant. Some units even have multiple of them selected at random when the plane is build.
* PatrioticFervor: The Confederates are a rag-tag assortment of Americans who are mad as hell about Allied interventions into American politics and just won't take it anymore.
* RealityBleed: PAWI technology. Like GAP, it's (mostly) safe.
* LaResistance: If the Allies are the Establishment, the Confederates are the Anti-Establishment. They define themselves by resistance and revolution, by what they aren't rather than by what they are. And what they aren't is the Allies.
* RevolversAreJustBetter: The Mortarmen carry revolvers that can punch straight through a Peacekeeper's shield and [[BlownAcrossTheRoom send infantry flying]].
* SeaMine: They can deploy versions of these from their torpedo boats that move under their own power.
* SuperSerum: ''LSD'' gives you ''psychic powers''.
* ThisIsADrill: ''[[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann "Spiral Tech"]]'' is a mathmatical oddity that allows improbable levels of mechanical effienciency with certain patterns of rotating machinery such as drills or fans. They use it to dig tunnels, make drill-based projectiles, and create tornados/whirlpools.
* TooManyBelts: A more western example, Confederate infantry are covered in bandoleers, low-slung holster belts, and other straps for equipment instead of more modern webbing.
* WorkerUnit: Dozers and Construction Trucks create main structures and fake structures, respectively. They and defenses are built by the Construction Yard.
* WrenchWench: Both their standard engineer and their commando, Dixie, are female, and both are repair specialists. The mechanic can repair single vehicles in the field, which Dixie has a sizable repair radius and can heal damage nearly as fast as it's dealt.

* BaseOnWheels: Master Crawlers, castles on tracks, produce every single unit they have. In addition, Mini-Crawlers, which are mobile tech buildings/refineries.
* BeliefMakesYouStupid: Averted. They might be using old technology, but Talon equipment generally equals or outperforms it's conventional (not to mention unconventional) counterparts. Also, they had computer software in 1842.
* {{BFG}}: Apostle bombardment ships mount a ''914mm'' cannon, the largest in Paradox.
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: In a setting of GreyAndGrayMorality where everyone does good and bad things, sometimes more of one than the other, the Talons believe in this one instead. This leads too...
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: ...with them being white and everyone else being black and/or potentially compromised. The only faction where this is actually true is the Black Hand.
* {{Brainwashed}}: A fair number of Talon officers were military officers from around the world who were kidnapped and brainwashed/indoctrinated into serving the Talon.
* BrownNote: In offence mode, the Calliope Track plays eerie, discordant sounds that rattle teeth and chill the soul.
* CatapultToGlory: The only way out of an Emissary Track for the passenger is the catapult mounted on top, enabling the Emissary to insert infantry over long distances into otherwise unreachable areas.
* ChurchMilitant: Started as a knightly order in the Catholic church, has since become independent.
* ClockPunk
* ClockworkCreature: Automatons are delicately crafted clockwork war machines in the shapes of men.
* ConspiracyTheorist: They are an AncientConspiracy group fighting at least one other ancient conspiracy group.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Their colour of choice is black, but they're still good[ish] guys.
* DeadlyGas: Emissary Tracks launch censers filled with mustard gas.
* DeadpanSnarker: Cannon Turret gunners [[ICallItVera call their turrets]] ''"Saint-Maker"''.
* DeathFromAbove: True to their nature as expies of [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Assault Marines]], Templar Lords can do jetpack jumps that crush anyone they land on (and who stand near them when they start). RocketJump indeed.
* DecapitatedArmy: You start with a Master Crawler, whose loss equals an automatic Game Over.
* DefectorFromDecadence: A lot of Talon personnel start as this.
* {{Determinator}}: Their history is basically eight hundred years of failure. They're still going strong.
* FireBreathingWeapon: They have a lot of flamethrowers.
* GaleForceSound: Jericho Cannons work this way, though they shake things apart rather than directly blowing them to pieces.
* ImprovisedWeapon: According to the backstory, a couple of the Talon's weapons like the Altars of Light and Consecrator Tracks started as this.
* IShallTauntYou: Chevaliers can do this. Notable in that it inspires friendly units rather than demoralizing enemies.
* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: If the Talon decides that you're guilty, you will die.
* KillItWithFire: The Talons LOVE flame weapons.
* KillSat: They hijacked both Athena Sats and Mag Sats and then combined them into something even worse.
* KnightTemplar: Varies by the individual Talon, but the Order as a whole tends towards this. The actual, literal Templars among their ranks do not, ironically.
* LandDownUnder: They've basically taken it over, but haven't informed the Australians or their government of the fact.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Metatron Gunboats are armed with an oversized rack of rockets.
* MagneticWeapons: And not the usual kind either. A more conventional coilgun is the Apostle bombardment ship's ultimate upgrade.
* MedievalStasis: Not quite, but they are very, very slow to adopt new technology. Thanks to Talon Steel, this doesn't stop them from being a major threat.
* MindRape: The Order is not above indoctrinating and brainwashing new recruits to make them loyal to the organization.
* MinovskyPhysics: Talon Steel fits, more or less.
* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: The Holy Triumvirate.
* PillarOfLight: The Firestorm Generator, their Ultimate Weapon.
* ProperlyParanoid: They're an ancient conspiracy fighting other ancient conspiracies. Paranoia is both a given and understandable.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: Like the Allies, the Order has solar death rays, but these are more inspired by Archimedes' Mirror.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: The Tempest Torpedo Ram can use a thermobaric ram to accelerate into and destroy any target.
* RocketJump: Templars Lords' thermobaric jets allow them to escape danger, and burn those around them when they take off.
* ScienceIsBad: Discussed. They ''are'' centuries behind the times technologically, but this is mainly because their existing technology is still competitively effective. Their is however no innate aversion to science or technological progression itself.
* SpiderTank: The Cataphract Land Ironclad is an armoured battle station on four legs.
* StartingUnits: Pawns are unbuildable infantry that spawn for free from the Master Crawler while it is deployed.
* ThisIsADrill: Have a submarine fitted with a drill for attacking other submarines. It uses spiral tech stolen from the Confederates.
* TrainingFromHell: Their elite military training school is in Death Valley, USA. 'Nuff said.
* UnknownRival: Aside from the highest levels of TheNecrocracy running from behind the scenes, most of the Mediterranean Syndicate has no idea why the hell the Order has them pegged as the AntiChrist, and can only try their best in holding them off when they come around for one of their executives head on a pike.
* UnwittingPawn: Lower Talon personnel don't know who they are really serving. Also, there's the aptly named [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Pawns]], who are unwitting soldiers duped into aiding the Talon, and the Barracuda crews.
* WeAreEverywhere: Unfortunately, so are their enemies.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Their goal is to fight a truly evil faction. They're still willing to perform unethical and questionable acts if necessary in pursuit of this goal.

* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Courtesans have poisoned saliva and tears but are themselves immune to the effects. They actively use this as an [[OutWithABang assasination method]].
* AfterTheEnd: They arose from the ashes of a nuclear civil war in China.
* AlienGeometries: To represent the classic era of science fiction, Royal Chinese constructs tend to look very, very strange.
* AtomPunk: The basic premise and any kind of it.
* AttackDrone: Great Wing Ships produce Little Wing Patrol Boats, who in turn attack the enemies with their ray guns.
* ChildSoldiers: Chiren Kilong is 15 years old and acts as second in command of the space fleet under Yuming Oshang, who is just 18 herself. This is because they, like all commanders, belong to the very few non-cloned humans who have a natural resistance against radiation which was turned into a requirement to be commander by The Viceroy. Chiren also shows great potential in strategy and tactics so wasting her talent would be out of the question.
* CoolStarship: Loads, like the Eclipse Star Destroyer.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The House Colour for the Chinese isn't painted onto them, but instead glows off their radiators and shows up in the colour of their beam weapons. Yes, this even allows pink or black ray guns.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even though they want revenge on pretty much every other world power, they still have a strict policy of only targeting military forces with their atomic bombs. Understandable, consider that they've seen the horrors of nuclear holocaust first hand.
* ExpendableClone: Clones are used as grunts, for slave labor and for getting rid of mine fields. There also are no plans to take them along when leaving earth.
* FantasticRacism: Treatment of clones.
* GreatOffscreenWar: The Chinese Civil War is this.
* GreenRocks: Jade, the radioactive alien mineral that enables nuclear fission, is effectively [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSeries Tiberium]] and also one of the reasons their colour of choice is green.
* HistoricalInJoke: Their entire existence represents the power shift caused by nuclear China in the real 1960s.
* {{Homage}}: To ''Franchise/StarTrek''.
* JiangShi: InNameOnly since they are more like the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] than zombies.
* KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter: Inverted. China is the only side not to follow this; their weapons are in fact far better than everyone else's, and are almost always some form of DeathRay or other beam weapon. However, they tend to suffer from shorter range, which forces their units to take a beating while closing in to their adversaries before they can bring their beams to bear.
* MundaneUtility: Mantis War-Walkers can be used to plow land with their heat rays and War Thrones can grow plants there via healing radiation.
* MyNameIsInigoMontoya: My name is Captain Lei Lun, you have humiliated my country. [[PrepareToDie Prepare to eat atomic fire.]]
* NuclearMutant: Jiang Shi. Chinese Tigers are similar, in that they are generally better than their non-augmented brethren.
* NukeEm: Should be obvious by the name; their Ultimate Weapon is just as obviously an air-dropped nuclear bomb.
* OurClonesAreIdentical: Most infantry are mass-cloned from the genes of warriors who died in the previous war.
* OutWithABang: As mentioned above, Courtesans can kill with poisoned saliva or tears, which is usually done during intercourse.
* PantheraAwesome: Chinese Tigers, irradiated and mutated to be bigger and tougher.
* PointyEars: Clones have these as a way of segregating them from the population.
* RadiationInducedSuperpowers: Radiation usually kills, but every so often you become an Expy of the Hulk.
* ShortRangeLongRangeWeapon: Their ray guns are hampered with a short range ingame, but it's caused by [[Franchise/StarTrek a total lack of any sort of gunsights]].
* SicklyGreenGlow: Green China is associated with the green of the Jade, the key to unlocking atomic fission, the substance that had ended their civilisation.
* SlapOnTheWristNuke: Subverted with truely ''horrifying'' effects! A dropped nuke has far more power than any other Ultimate weapon in the game, being powerful enough to eradicate a complete base, leaving massive amounts of radiation that will prevent any life in the area for a while and [[TruthInTelevision turn the very ground into glass]] from the heat. Add map-wide EMP effects and gale force winds of about 350 km/h and the game will be completely reversed after the bomb fell.
* SpectacularSpinning: The Fortress Gate looks like a [[Franchise/StargateVerse Stargate]] and naturally it spins.
* SpaceElevator: Space Elevators are impossibly tall structures that literally reach up into the heavens. Two classes of space elevator exist. The first one is of the kind that one might see on the battlefield, and is typically used to deliver troops to the surface and processed ore to the duplicators in orbit. They can be deployed anywhere, as long as there is a Command Yard on the surface to join up to. Of the larger second class, only six examples exist. These elevators serve as the main method of getting men, cargo and equipment into orbit.
* {{Teleportation}}: Teleportation technology splits a person or object on the molecular level, transports the atoms, and recreates the object/person at the designation.
* ThreateningShark: Mutated sharks also use radiation-infused guns to add to their threatening factor.
* TowerDefense: They've been deliberately designed to play like a Tower Defense game, with upgrading defenses and walls designed especially for ''"mazing"''.
* TractorBeam: Traction beams draw matter towards the projector like a screw.
* TripodTerror: Mantis War-Walkers are hundred feet tall tripods that look like the sort of thing out of a science fiction film.
* WeWillUseManualLaborInTheFuture: How clones are usually used.
* WhyAmITicking: One of the protocols lets a turret explode for massive damage.
* YellowPeril: Deliberately played as ComicStrip/FlashGordon style pulp sci-fi villains.

* AnachronismStew: They are TheEighties in a TheSixties setting.
* AncientGrome: What they are effectively idolizing.
* ArmyOfLawyers: Helios Security, equipped with projectors that use "zero-point energy" hold you in place. Inspired by Literature/TheSupernaturalist.
* AxCrazy: Satyrs are given special, irreversible surgery in the part of their brain dealing with inhibitions. Attempts to make them placid by injecting them with nauseating drugs while showing footage of violent acts against Syndicate members also fail, as the Satyrs literally could not make the link in their mind. Instead, in order to ensure their cooperation, they are now allowed free reign of the Sprawls if they do not attack Syndicate personnel in battle. Times when Satyrs are between battles are called a Bacchanalia, where locking the door is no safety if the Satyrs want what you have, whether drugs, your daughter, or your blood.
* BrainInAJar: Man O'War cyborgs are controlled by a brain in a jar.
* CompanyTown: Sprawls are usually this.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The Syndicate is a massive conglomerate of corporations and criminal groups united by cultural and political beliefs, funded by war profiteering, exploitation of the third world, illegal activities and technological innovation.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul
* CyberPunk: Neon lights. Cybernetic power armour. Rogue AIs. Absolute lack of respect for human life. Their Hero is even an evil {{Expy}} to ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' Hero Motoko Kusanagi and Molly Millions from the ''Literature/SprawlTrilogy''.
* CyberPunkIsTechno: If [[http://www.moddb.com/mods/red-alert-3-paradox/videos/il-futuro-adesso Il futuro é adesso]] is any indication.
* {{Cyberspace}}: The mind of the user lends the processing power needed for complicated inferfaces. Non-cyberspace interactions resemble 1980s text interfaces as a result, and connections are barely good enough to transfer MIDI music.
* DeadlyGas: Sear gas combines the debilitating effects of tear gas with the lethal effects of your eyes and throat suffering chemical burns.
* DelayingAction: Until the better guns are available.
* DrugsAreBad: Being the local evil bastards, they of course run the drug trade. Basic infantry are drugged gang members and the drugs make them shortly invincible to automatic gun fire. Of course, they burn them out afterward.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even the AxCrazy Satyrs would not automatically attack Ambulance units.
* FeelNoPain: Auxiliaries can take PCP to survive bullet wounds that would otherwise kill them and will bleed to death if left unattended afterward. TruthInTelevision.
* ForkliftFu: Syndicate forklifts can steal defenses and crush infantry.
* HighlyConspicuousUniform: Legion Security uniforms are shiny silver with holographic advertising.
* IfItSwimsItFlies: Pluto Airmobile Submarines may also surface to become gunships.
* LossOfIdentity: Happens to almost everyone turned into a battle suit.
* LongGame: The ultimate goal of the Board of Classics is to [[spoiler: lure out Kane and destroy him for leaving them unable to die. They have been playing this game for centuries and centuries.]]
* MagneticWeapons: Railguns, which accelerate projectiles to high velocities using electromagnetic forces, are a common Syndicate anti-vehicle weapon.
* MegaCorp: A massive alliance of corporations huge and small loosely 'ruled' by a sort of super board of directors.
* OneHitPolykill: Railguns are notable for being able to pass through a tank and hit the one behind it.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The Syndicate effectively only care about profit, be it short-term or long-term.
* PrivatelyOwnedSociety: The Sprawl is the main way that the Mediterranean Syndicate operates as a corporation. Basically a corporate city, the Syndicate crams as much industry, commerce and illegalities into an area it has, keeping all the workers inside the Sprawl's limits to maintain their dependency on the corporation. As semi-extraterritorial enclaves, the Syndicate is free to run it how they wish it.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: The Board of Classics [[spoiler:are actually old kings and queens from ancient civilizations. Xerxes, Alexander the Great, Gilgamesh, Cleopatra... And Romulus really was the first king of Rome. Kane made them immortal and left their civilizations to crumble, and they want revenge.]]
* {{Roboteching}}: Like the Empire, the Syndicate has AI controlled missiles. Unlike the Empire, the AI is located '''inside the missile'''.
* RocketPunch: The Atlas fire their fists with compressed gas.
* ScienceMarchesOn: Deliberately invoked to imitate 1980s cyberpunk; Syndicate wireless technology ''"sucks"'', being limited to infrared beams like a television remote, so pretty much everything needs to be plugged in and wires are everywhere.
* SinisterSurveillance: Since cameras are everywhere.
* StreetSamurai: Satyrs, in the most insane way possible.
* SuicideAttack: Fury Combat Drones can happen to not survive diving into an enemy airplane's fuel tanks.
* SuperPersistentMissile: Syndicate missiles follow their target until impact or running out of fuel. It's usually the former.
* TooKinkyToTorture: The Satyrs enjoy receiving pain almost as much as they enjoy inflicting them.
* UnusualUserInterface: All Syndicate vehicles are piloted by single man crews, who replace their sensory input and motor impulses entirely with that of the vehicle.
* UnusualWeaponMounting: Battlesuits have weapons mounted on shoulders, under shoulders etc.
* UnwillingRoboticisation
* UrbanWarfare: Their specialty. In order to ensure they can take advantage of it, [[RidiculouslyFastConstruction they can take some city with them.]]
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: The Syndicate educate people and create jobs world-wide and build massive megacities (their Sprawls) to house them. They do that because it's easier to milk a population that loves than one which hates them. This also makes it harder for the Allies to take action against them.
* WeatherControlMachine: Their Ultimate Weapon calls on lightning and gale-force winds to tear enemies apart.
* WetwareCPU: High level battlesuits are mostly robotic, controlled by a bare minimum of wetware.
* WorkerUnit: Construction Lifters work similar to Nanocores but can build their structures unlimited times to save money (exceptions are the Super and Ultimate Weapon).
* WretchedHive: They have a way of popping up in the Syndicate's path.

* ArtificialIntelligence: What they really are is a formless group of AIs who can ''"posses"'' their machines at will - with all the (dis-)advantages this implies.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: As robots, they do not have to follow human conventions of ''"Right and Wrong"''...
* BrownNote: Basilisk Patterns work by using visual and audio patterns to cause your brain to go completely insane. That is, if they don't kill you outright.
* CoolButInefficient: The Protectorate don't even need an army to win the war, as they could simply cover the world in GreyGoo and win the war in about a day. However [[DoingItForTheArt due to]] [[LargeHam their nature]] the idea of it is completely alien to them.
* DarkIsEvil: [[MeaningfulName Nightmare Drones]] create pitch-black fog to kill enemies.
* DeadlyGas: The secondary weapon of the Protectorate Tripod is Black Gas. The chemical composition of this gas is unknown, but what is known is that any unprotected person who finds themselves inside a cloud of Black Gas is as good as dead.
* DoingItForTheArt: In-Universe, their prior motivation. Even now, they can't help but work this in; their TinCanRobot imagery is the result of them designing what they think a robot army ought to look like given the contemporary pop culture they had absorbed.
* EldritchAbomination: They made a deal with some, and it's started to change them... Their superweapon even unleashes one on their enemies.
* GoingCritical: When a Singularity Core gets damaged enough...
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: What happens to pityful humans seeing [[EldritchAbomination The Icon]].
* LargeHam: Despite being composed entirely of software, they are an entire ''"race"'' of these.
* MadArtist: They essentially want to destroy all life as an artistic statement.
* MechaMooks: A whole army of them.
* MechanicalMonster: Some of the bigger EP units can be this.
* ThePowerOfRock: Protectorate fractal weaponry contains singularities which offer beautiful light shows. The killing, however is done by firing pure, undiluted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDlif8Km4S4 Dubstep]].
* RobotReligion: More like ''"Robot Cthulhu Cult"''.
* StrawmanEmotional: Originally programmed to understand and play off of human emotion, the Protectorate as a whole borders on bipolar, in contrast to the classic emotionless machines.
* TechnicolorFire: The Protectorate use Potassium, [[FauxSymbolism which burns purple]].
* TinCanRobot: Played with. The Protectorate are made out of nanites and have no real machine components comparable to contemporary human technology. They wholly embrace the TinCanRobot look, however, out of a combination of sentiment for the B-Movies of their ''"youth"'' and a healthy dose of irony.
* TripodTerror: The Protectorate Tripod is a towering, massive, three legged walker that dwarfs most other vehicles.
* TrueArtIsAngsty: InUniverse. Their concerns over the effects of entropy on their works and society spiraled them into increasingly dark works and eventually to war.
* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: InUniverse. Protectorate bases and high-level constructs are increasingly abstract, with loose forms symbolically representing their role rather than the more direct TinCanRobot stylings.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Played with. The base AIs of the Protectorate were created by humanity (in particular by a Japanese experiment that went awry) but were lost and then promptly forgotten about. The protectorate as it is now has nothing against humanity (and indeed a mere human brought them back from a DespairEventHorizon), but we are in the way for them to get to the pure state.
* WalkDontSwim: If Protectorate units cannot swim, they walk on the sea floor towards their targets.
* WeHaveReserves: Justified. Their units are almost all mindless robots that the true [=AIs=] puppeteer. Thus, they don't particularly care if they get blown up.
* ZergRush: Standard tactic taken up to eleven, to the point where they completely forgo build times.

* AmmunitionBackpack: Napalm Rangers carry ammo on their backs

* BifurcatedWeapon: The Jungle Ranger's assault rifle has an underbarrel shotgun.
* CoolShades: The Rocket Ranger's stern look owes a great deal to her period-approprete sunglasses.
* FanBoy: They almost worships the ground the Allies walk...
* FashionableAsymmetry: The Napalm Ranger only has one shoulder pad, but it's on the shoulder that faces the enemy (together with the end of his weapon).
* FireBreathingWeapon: The ARVN loves its flamethrowers.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: The Vietnamese collaborators are considerably nicer than their real-world counterparts.

The various national militaries of the world aiding the elite Peacekeepers. They also form the bulk of units fighting in Vietnam.
----
* BlindedByTheLight: Like the Riot Agent, the Defender has a flashbang grenade launcher.
* BoringButPractical: Compared to the Peacekeepers; the Reservists don't use costly experimental systems or quantum weapons, but their designs are proven and cost-effective.
* {{Expy}}: They resemble the USA faction from ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals''.
* FashionableAsymmetry: To drive home their nature as "weekend warriors", the basic Reservist has an almost completely asymmetrical uniform.
* OnlySaneMan: They are the only (more or less) truly conventional army.
* PuttingOnTheReich: Though their tan desert and olive green jungle uniforms don't look it, their garrison uniforms are black and grey. However, the Allies are blissfully unaware due to the lack of Nazis in the Red Alert timeline.
* WeHaveReserves: Again, to the Peacekeepers; where the Peacekeepers are expected to make precision strikes on the enemy line, the Reservists hold the front and support PK operations.

----
* DrivenToSuicide: The Nationalists, after seeing the aftermath of the nuclear war.
* FeudalFuture: Mixed a bit with UsedFuture; the surviving NRA warlords are stratified into a feudal system, using their remaining clones and rusting weapons to try and hold against the Atomic Kingdom.
* GasmaskMooks: Chinese nationalists come with standard-issue gas masks.
* HoverTank: The Indian Reservists has the Crocodile Hovertank, which is notably not very good against conventional designs. It is, however, excellent against the designs of the Atomic Kingdom and PLA.
* TheRemnant: The Blue Chinese have never stopped fighting the Chinese Civil War, long after it ended in nuclear annihilation.

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Their attempts to create an effective fighter-bomber aircraft to counter the Allies failed spectacularly multiple times, as the article about their Devastation Toxin Planes shows.
* HitAndRunTactics
* {{Hypocrite}}: Most GLA leaders reside in palaces, drink wine, eat cavier and watch hollywood movies while sending men to their deaths against the 'decadent' west.
* SuicideAttack: Terrorists are armed with only an explosive vest and detonator switch.

* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: Gatling Crawlers.
* BayonetYa: Red Guard troops can either attack enemies with their peashooters or knife them to death in close combat.
* {{BFG}}: The ''"[[MeaningfulName Armageddon Cannons]]"'' are 800mm artillery pieces and gain nuclear shells on heroic. The Overlords mount 200mm, which is almost twice the caliber of the Soviet Apocalypse Tanks.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: North Korean Commandos fight in full dress uniform and can wipe out whole squads on their own.
* ExpendableClone: Communist China started cloning people after they developed the technology to clone body parts and transfer brains.
* {{Expy}}: They resemble the Chinese faction from ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals''.
* GasmaskMooks: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], considering the very hostile environment they are fighting in.
* GatlingGood: Gatling Crawlers are armed with gatling guns.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: The destruction of their leadership and country did this to the soldiers at Rat Base, to the point where their only leader is a giant poster of Mao, which they pretend is actually him, to the point of having it attend meetings, speeches, and rallies.
* HarpoonGun: Overlord Tanks have harpoons which are made to reel in enemy vehicles much like the Apocalypse Tanks' TractorBeam. They are also lethal to infantry, unlike said TractorBeam.
* MachineWorship: The crews of Armageddon Cannons and various people attracted to these things worship them as deities of war, sing for them, sacrifice stuff, use holy oil etc. because the cannons survived until now and are indeed among the most powerful weapons ever made.
* TheRemnant: They are the few survivors of a decades long war that ended nuclear.
* StealthPun: General Leang met her demise with a nuclear bomb, shortly after a Courtesan seduced her and revealed her base' position to the Atomic Chinese. In other words, she went OutWithABang.

An underground resistance group supplied by North Vietnam and the Soviet Union, the Vietcong fight for Vietnamese unity under their ideas.

* AllAsiansWearConicalStrawHats: Victor Charlies wear those. Unlike most examples, these actually do serve to block the sun (and hide in the jungle).
* BayonetYa: NVA Regulars only use their guns to keep the enemy's head down long enough to use these.
* BoobyTrap
* BraidsOfAction: Guerrillas sport these.
* {{Hipster}}: A running gag regarding the Vietcong, due to the puns made about being underground, and the scarfs they wore in RealLife.
