* EnsembleDarkhorse: Pirus the Brutalizer, the mega-creep that used to appear when a relic is destroyed, is popular enough among veteran players that Petroglyph is considering bringing him back into the game. Typhon is also sometimes brought up and at least one developer said that they're looking into it.
** Balak has a movement comment about thinking there would be elven women at the tournament. This has since turned into a fairly impressive, for the game's population, drive to get an actual elven woman Immortal introduced, making the concept itself an EnsembleDarkhorse.
* InferredHolocaust: Immortals will be sent to destroy a land's Shrine, dooming whoever live there to annihilation. There's also plenty of these in the backstories.
* SequelDisplacement: A lot of players have not played nor heard of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardians_of_Graxia Guardians of Graxia]] before which was both a board and PC game but it's AllThereInTheManual.
