Game Tropes
- Armor Is Useless: Averted, but almost happened during the early stages of the game's development.
- Crippling Overspecialization: While the population can be manually reassigned to work different sectors of the country, planning the economy too much ramps up corruption, bringing wealth income to a halt, or worse.
- Easy Logistics: Averted. Having too many units in an enemy province leads to attrition, disease, and frequent attacks by guerrilla units. Cutting off supply lines can bring a quick end to an otherwise successful campaign.
In-Universe Tropes
- Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Virtually every nation:
- Arvn: The coastal cities resemble Discovery Age Spain, while the inhabitants of the rural areas and the Romali Barrens practice horse archery and eat their meat raw.
- Coruvia: Comes complete with knights, straw huts, and taverns while the more wealthy areas feature marble palaces, elaborate temples, and armies of well-disciplined legionaries.
- Gezia: A nation built on the blood of foreign armies bought by gold, the nation has a vague Venitian theme to it, while also taking inspiration from Rome and the rest of Italy.
- Lunilis: Perhaps the most exotic nation other than Whiratl, Lunilis gives off an Atlantis vibe, while its ancient history, specifically the Warlord Era, seems to mirror the Romance Of The Three Kingdoms.
- Whiratl: Distand and almost completely isolated, this island nation is firmly rooted in Aztec culture, but Whiratl doesn't shy away from warriors armed with hooks and wearing face paint.
- Jovilor: A land ruled by its people, Jovilor asks the question: What if modern day America existed in the Dark Ages?. However, this nation also has dashes of Roman and Aztec influences as well.
- Horse Archer: Arvnian conscripts from the Romali Barrens are nomads who use bows on horseback, and can prove to be a deadly force on any open field.
- Island of Mystery: The nation of Whiratl, separated from the main continents by an ocean. Few know of this place, but sailors often bring tales of savage tribes and odd architecture.
- Zerg Rush: The Arvnian Empire prefers to send hordes of simple spearmen against their enemies. Justified as most of those enemies are rebellious horsemen.
