YMMV / Shattered Union

• Nightmare Fuel: The Californian faction's unique unit is a heavy tank (FSC Jackson) that uses some type of fire weapon on vehicles and infantry. Ponder this, what kind of fire is hot enough that it can melt metal and ceramic heavy armor plating of other tanks and what would that same fire do to a human body? Or a house or housing complex filled with people? An in game stat for units is collateral damage, and the Jackson has the highest collateral damage of all heavy tanks, often being 2 to even 3 times higher than any other heavy tank.
• Underused Game Mechanic: The reputation changes too little over the course of the campaign to have much impact. Reputation can only change by 5 points per mission, while moving to a new tier requires 130 (that's at least 26 missions to move one tier). A side effect was that firebombing an entire city had the same effect as torching a few fields. One Let's Player upped it to 50 per mission in the game files to have at least some impact, and still had to cause some indiscriminate destruction just to get the numbers up.
