* TheAlliance: The imperial council is an assembly of representatives from all six Civilized Races, with you as the Human representative. Similarly, your military is assembled from members of all races.



* TheEmpire: A potential choice for running your territorial holdings. With just a few consular decisions, you can have a highly militarized theocratic state which guts civil liberties on a whim [[spoiler: and is led by a power hungry madman backed by a soul devouring demon.]] Typically taken by players aiming for high Undead approval.



* HoverTank: Hunters, Armors and Devastators.
* HumongousMecha: Troopers and Grenadiers are towering SpiderTank-style mechs which easily tower above the ancient trees around them.



* TheKingdom: Another social option for you, it's quite easy to build a society of libertine values, social freedoms and open government with only a few counsel meetings.



* LadyDrunk: Aida, as befits her [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame usual racial depiction]], to the point of having an ''entire second bar'' installed in the Queen's Chambers.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: King Theron of the Dwarves is thoroughly disliked by the vast majority of his people, and Falstaff will, despite his slightly misogynistic streak, remark with obvious disgust at the kings abominable treatment of his own daughter and express relief she's safely away from him should you marry Aida. If, via careful maneuvering, you get him assassinated, Falstaff will imply that the "ocean of mead" he's ordering for the funeral isn't to drown sorrows, but to properly mask the almost boundless relief the old bastard is dead.

*** You can even point out her hypocrisy when she objects to your ArrangedMarriage on the grounds that some poor girl is forced to marry some man she doesn't know and has never met. You can then point out how she does much the same thing to ''males'' in ''her'' kingdom. She's a bit taken back and feebly defends herself with AManIsAlwaysEager.

** Undead: Reactionary, dedicated to upholding the status quo and are highly theocratic.
** Dwarves: Conservative, support traditional "family values" and often back the military. They also have something of a Libertarian streak, as they oppose most business regulation and have a noted dislike of the taxman.
** Imps: Centrist, highly pragmatic and focused on simply looking out for number one.
** Lizards: Liberal, strongly back the ideals of personal liberty and freedom, to the point of actually having a fairly democratic society. Their councilor even tells this straight to the Emperor, and actively bemoans his ilk's tendency to curtail the rights of his people for the sake of his own ego.
** Elves: Radical, have views everyone else considers "out there" and tend to propose highly irregular legislation, but occasionally end up in fascist territory.
