The sequel to ''VisualNovel/TearsToTiara'' by {{Creator/Aquaplus}}, ''Tears to Tiara II: Heir of the Overlord''[[note]]''Tears to Tiara II: Haou no Matsuei''[[/note]] is a 2013 [=PS3=] TurnBasedStrategy game that follows the style of the ''VideoGame/TearsToTiara'' [=PS3=] port. It follows a similar style of mixing mythology with Roman history, this time mixing [[Myth/HebrewMythology Phoenician Mythology]] with the UsefulNotes/PunicWars.

* ContinuityNod: There's no shortage of nods to [[TearsToTiara the first game]]. [[LaResistance The Barca Faction]] says themselves they have been given hopes of launching a successful rebellion by the imperial defeats at Albion.

* ChekhovsGunman: Golyat first show up commanding his legions to crush Hispania's rebellion. As he retreats, Hamil offers him land grants for his veterans if he switch sides, something TheEmpire did in its heyday. He admits the offer is very enticing but it's too late and they'll loose. [[spoiler: Fast forward to the final approach on Alba Longa, as TheParty wonder if any of TheEmpire's legions will switch sides, they find him having already put the city under siege and is waiting for them.]]

* TheHeart: Hamil and Tarte are TheHeart to the Canaanites, while Charis is TheHeart of TheParty.

* KingIncognito: TheParty does this to travel to the Rhenus frontiers. There they meet a barbarian fur merchant girl Artio [[spoiler:who turns out to be princess of the Suebi]].

* XanatosGambit: Izebel pulls a simple one when she intercepts TheParty on the high seas. She has the [[KrakenAndLeviathan Kraken]] attack the rear of the ship. She and her soldiers then board from the front. If TheParty did not realized this trap and moved to the rear to deal with the Krakken, they get attacked from the rear and defeated. If they realized this trap and did not move, the entire party would need to be at the ship's front to deal with her superior forces, leaving the Krakken free to sink the ship.

* {{Badass}}
** AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: There's a good reason the House of Barca rules Hispania and leads the Canaanites.
** BackToBackBadasses: Monomachus and Enneads in the opening movie.

* Badass

* MeaningfulName: While all major characters, and lots of minor characters, gets one, special mention goes to [[TheHero Hamil]] who's name has multiple meanings. Hamilicar Barca is the father of Hannibal Barca, famous Carthaginian general of [[PunicWars Second Punic War]] who almost brought the TheRomanRepublic to its knees. The name Hamilicar means brother of Melqart. Barca means lightning (Hamil's element). In universe it's stated the name Hamilicar is reserved for the member of the Barcid family who is the strongest and most closely tied to Astarte.

* TheBaroness: Izebel. [[spoiler: She's half playing the part, and half DeathSeeker.]]

* BattleCouple: Hamil and Tarte. Daphnis and Elissa.

* BloodLust: Melqart's "Tear your enemy to pieces. Eat their flesh. Drink their blood." is NotHyperbole.

* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler: Izebel.]]

* WomanInBlack: Izebel.

* AxCrazy: [[SuperpoweredEvilSide God of War Melqart]], appropriately. Also Izebel.

** BadassPrincess: Elissa and Artio

* ConstantlyCurious: Tarte, being a God/Elf, has not had the chance to experience the world much.

* DarkActionGirl: Izebel

* OurGodsAreGreater: Expanded on from [[VisualNovel/TearsToTiara the first game]]. Powerful lineages of the precursor races are worshiped as gods by humans. The people of Hispania mainly, tho not exclusively, worship the gods of [[CanaaniteMythology Ba'al]], of which Astarte is one. They appear on earth to teach and guide the people. [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly They need prayer to be powerful]]. [[{{God}} Watos]] [[HaveYouSeenMyGod is still missing]].

[[TheHero Hamilcar "Hamil" Barca]], son of Hasdrubal, is now leader of the Canaanites. However he is dumb, has no skills in magic or sword, and willingly allow imperial soldiers to beat him and laugh at him. All of the Canaanites are disappointed at their leader, and [[TheEmpire the Divine Empire]] thinks he's a joke. Behind the scenes, [[LaResistance The Barca Faction]] are planning a rebellion. Unbeknownst to everyone, [[ObfuscatingStupidity Hamil is an incredibly cunning youth]]. He wishes to prevent a rebellion at all costs, and does it by playing dumb. He hears to cry of a girl and finds her somehow having tangled her foot underneath the roots of a tree. She calls herself the goddess of harvest and war Astarte, but is unable to use any magic, to her surprise.

At the festival, Zaras unveils a surprise. Tarte has been captured and is about to be burnt at the stake for calling herself a goddess. For seven years, Hamil has prepared for this Ba'al festival. He is prepared to die and sacrifice the entire [[LaResistance Barca Faction]] if it meant preventing a rebellion. But with Tarte unconscious, about to be burnt alive before him, Hamil breaks the facade, gives into his anger, and summon forth the [[SuperpoweredEvilSide God of War Melqart]].

* IAmSpartacus: Inverted. The pirates call for the woman on board to come forth. [[WholesomeCrossdresser Daphnis]] offers himself up, only to have Elissa interrupt, and one by one the actual females on board stands up. And they straight up beat the pirates and takes over the ship, no distraction needed.

* TinCanRobot: Calcos and the other [[ClassicalMythology Talos]].

* AntiGrinding: You get less experience against units of increasing lower level. But that doesn't stop "Apple Throwing".

->''"I'm your goddess Ashtarte."''

* AccidentalMarriage: Hamil thought the religious ritual he performed meant he's married to Ashtarte. Tarte didn't. Not that she's complaining.

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: [[TheHero Hamil]] raises the battle cry of Ashtarte, and all Canaanites at the Ba'al Festival follows suit. This empowers Tarte, which prevents both her and Hamil from being burnt alive.

* DivineIntervention: The story begins with Ashtarte joining Hispania's rebellion against TheEmpire.

* DreamSequence: Hamil dreams of meeting the supreme goddess Tanit in an oasis and begs for guidance. His request is answered and [[spoiler:Tanit appears on earth as Ashtarte.]]

** Also discussed. Monomachus suggests drumming up religious fervor to turn the entire thing into a war of religion to solve their manpower shortage, with the people of Hispania warshipping Ashtarte and the Ba'al gods fighting against TheEmpire who worship Watos. Despite frequently voicing her desire for followers, Tarte says she will not go along with the plan, as people so forced and/or brainwashed are not true believers. Hamil agrees, and decides to form TheAlliance to solve their manpower shortage.

* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: The Ba'al gods do [[spoiler: as people's beliefs are the only thing that ties them to earth and prevent them from going into a coma.]] Tarte at first could not cast even a single heal spell and is no different from a teenage girl because her people are forced by [[TheEmpire the Divine Empire]] to worship Watos, and her temples are torn down to build churches. Only by [[TheHero Hamil]]'s desperate pleas for guidance was she even able to take form. Her powers come back to her on the Canaanites' battle cry of Ashtarte, and prevents both of them from being burnt alive.

* MeaningfulName: While all major characters, and lots of minor characters, gets one, special mention goes to [[TheHero Hamil]] who's name has multiple meanings. Hamilicar Barca is the father of Hannibal Barca, famous Carthaginian general of [[PunicWars Second Punic War]] who almost brought the TheRomanRepublic to its knees. The name Hamilicar means brother of Melqart. Barca means lightning (Hamil's element). In universe it's stated the name Hamilicar is reserved for the member of the Barcid family who is the strongest and most closely tied to Ashtarte.

** TheHero is based on Hannibal Barca but named after his father. Monomachus is a real life Carthaginian general under Hannibal. Enneads is a book on Neoplatonism. Dion is short for Diogenes. Charis is one of the three Graces. Laelius is general and friend of Scipio Africanus. Aemilia is Scipio's wife. Ashtarte, Tanit, Eshmun and Melqart are all real Phoenician gods, [[spoiler:and were really at one time thought of as two gods, Tanit-Ashtarte and Eshmun-Melqart.]]

* VigilanteMan: Hamil, before the start of the game. Particularly brutal soldiers and unsavory tax collectors who came to his town had a tendency to "disappear"; it seems that only Dion connected this to Hamil, though.

* PanUpToTheSkyEnding: [[CueTheSun With a sunrise to mark the return of the Golden Age]]
