* CompleteMonster: While the Hierarchy is portrayed as a villain race, Kamal Re'x deserves special mention. He takes pride in all the races that he had wiped out, [[SocialDarwinist feeling that if they couldn't keep themselves from being wiped out, they didn't deserve to exist in the first place]]. He's also a big {{Jerkass}} in the campaign.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: A few creep in,
-->'''Zessus:''' ''"I met a new hero who inspired me: General Peasant of the Humans."''
-->'''General Moore:''' ''"The name's ''Moore''... and I suppose you're the... tooth fairy in all this?"'' (Keep in mind he's mouthing off to the most powerful Masari, their queen).
*** Pretty much any scene with Moore qualifies, it's pretty much his main purpose in the plot.
** As well as this jewel by Kamal Re'x:
--> ''"Commander Orlok! These noble intentions of ending bloodshed, an alliance with a fallen enemy; all very ambitious of you!... And if we were a race of '''FLOWERS''' it would be rewarded!"''
** Don't forget about this:
-->'''Advisor:''' Commander, they're retreating.
-->'''Orlok:''' They must think we have reinforcements. Let's get some before they find you we ''don't''.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The soundtrack was done by Frank Klepacki of CommandAndConquer fame, and it shows. You can download the OST [[http://universeatwar.filefront.com/file/;85202 here]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZDPStQSrRY&hd=1 Divine Intervention]] is quite good.
* GameBreaker: in an ordinary match, you are always limited to six research project slots at any time. If you want to research something else, you have to give up already researched stuff to make room. HOWEVER, if you're Hierarchy and build a walker hardpoint granted by research, the hardpoint won't be removed once you give up its prerequisite! Therefore, it's entirely possible to finish the last campaign mission by building two Science Walkers then buying Assault Branch Suite 3 and filling one walker with Visual Enhancers (reveals the whole map) then giving up the three slots to buy Mutagenic Branch Suit 4 and filling the other walker with Cascade Reactors. Result: ability to launch radiation cascades without using a spotter, enabling you to utterly rape the defenders into oblivion.
