- Awesome Art: NK-Ryzov's maps are extremely detailed and come with impressive pixel-art illustrations.
- Magnificent Bastard: Supreme Commander Aaron Lang, de facto leader of MarsCom and thus of the Blue side in the Red-Blue War. Described by Ryzov as a "functional sociopath," Lang assumes near-dictatorial control to win the war, and after the Reds have been crushed and Lang can essentially dictate whatever terms he wants at the peace summit... he agrees to almost everything the moderate Reds wanted, sets up a framework for a Martian world government, is proclaimed the first president of said Martian Alliance against his own wishes, and then immediately (as in, within a few minutes) pulls a Cincinnatus so that Utena Jackson (one of the Red leaders) can be elected president in a proper election. Afterwards, Lang reenlists in MarsCom as an ordinary private and goes on to have numerous adventures of his own before happily retiring and finally, at age 116, dying of natural causes.
- Meaningful Release Date: Ryzov released a map (with accompanying lore) of America in 2150 on July 4th, 2023.
- Nightmare Fuel: The Graveyard Earth update is of course this, being the Wham Episode depicting The End of the World as We Know It via Colony Drop. However, it also concludes on a "Ray of Hope" Ending, stating that this is not the end of the story but simply the End of an Era, that some people will survive and Earth will be reborn, and that the future is up to those survivors to decide.
