* The fact that Eltharion starts off with a unique to him Hero named Cavill, with a special passive called "White Wolf", is a good multi-layer joke by the developers.
** Firstly, Eltharion has pretty much been called the High Elf Franchise/{{Batman}} due to a similar brooding personality, and being a vigilante like force of good for Ulthuan. So giving him a hero named Cavill, aka Creator/HenryCavill who also played [[Film/ManOfSteel Superman]], makes a pretty good joke on its own.
** Cavill having the White Wolf passive, a bonus against Large enemies pretty clearly references [[Franchise/TheWitcher Geralt of Rivia]], another character Henry Cavill has played. Yup, you basically have a Batman Lord, and a Superman/Geralt Hero by his side, all for the sake of a pretty good (and also awesome given Henry Cavill's love of the ''Total War'' series) joke.

** Direfin's goal of sinking Ulthuan is also rather hilarious when you realize WHY she's pursuing it. When she lived as a famous Bretonnian singer, she was invited to the court of the Phoenix King. While sailing to Ulthuan, her ship rather into a storm. The captain tried to steer clear, but Direfin threw him overboard and ordered the ship to sail right into the storm, convinced her singing would calm the seas. Needless to say, that did happen and she now seeks to destroy the High Elves, because [[NeverMyFault it was entirely THEIR fault she died]].

* The Sword of Khaine is an EvilWeapon and ArtifactOfDoom which makes its wielder and their allies AxCrazy, and taking it from the altar is considered crossing the GodzillaThreshold in the setting. In the game it is an equippable item with GameBreaker combat buffs to your lord, but horrible drawbacks to diplomacy and public order. And now guess what happens to the player who obtains it and holds onto the Sword for too long? Yes, they'll inevitably [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou forget about diplomacy and just kills everyone]].
