* BrainsAndBrawn: The wife-husband pair Tausret and Seti are portrayed like this. Tausret is a strategic genius, and her mechanics are particularly focused on using political and economic maneuvering to turn her enemies' schemes against themselves and make her faction into Egypt's dominant economic power. Seti is impatient, ferocious, and aggressive, and has little interest in diplomacy when he can simply crush his foes on the battlefield.



* CrownOfHorns: Suppiluliuma II wears the crown of the Hittite kings, a tall bronze cone adorned with three pairs of bull's horns. His rival Kurunta instead wars a hat adorned with bronze antlers.



* MundaneMadeAwesome: Merneptah makes eating a grape - and then choking on it - an epic event.

* YouRequireMoreVespeneGas: ''Pharaoh'' has the same resources first introduced in the contemporaneous ''VideoGame/ATotalWarSagaTroy'' (Food, Gold, Wood, Stone and Bronze) which the player is unlikely to be fully self-sufficient in producing without negotiating barter agreements with neighbours and allies.

Added DiffLines:

* RedOniBlueOni: Seti is the Red. A brutish thug with no interest in diplomacy, his default solution to problems is to crush them with his army, and his faction buffs encourage an aggressive, conquering playstyle. His wife Tausret, the Blue, is a strategist and courtier, with excellent ranged units for carefully-cultivated combined arms forces, and a special court ability allowing her to take plots against her and turn them against their originators.


Added DiffLines:

* TheStrategist: Tausret is portrayed as a strategic genius, and both her quotes and things others say to her emphasize this. Mechanically, this is represented by economic strength and by a superior ability to manipulate the court and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard turn intrigues against her back on their originators]].

* RapePillageAndBurn: The Canaanite leader Irsu's play style encourages you to raze, sack, and pillage as many settlements as you can, rather than build up a kingdom of your own.

* LargeHam: Merneptah, the '''GREAT PHARAOH'''! The opening cinematic pretty much consists of him ChewingTheScenery, starting with praising his own rule, and every word out of his mouth comes with the most dramatic possible intonation.
