* DomesticatedDinosaurs: The Amazons have Tyrannadons. They're more like the reptilian dinosaurs of old than what we now know dinosaurs to be like, but that's because they're actually domesticated alien creatures. Also, they put lasers on said dinosaurs.

* AHorseOfADifferentColor: Some of the "vehicles" available are actually mounts; the Amazons and Kir'ko are particularly fond of these.
** Amazons use genetically engineered cavalry in place of vehicles. The [[DomesticatedDinosaurs tyrranodon]] is the most iconic, but there are also lancers, a sort of a striped lizard-tiger thing, and the flying, laser-armed, pterodactyl-like harrers. Amazons sometimes even mount secret tech units that are normally infantry; their [=VoidTech=] echo walkers ride lancers, while Celestian light bringers swoop on their foes on harriers.
** The larger Kir'ko castes usually operate independently, but can be ridden by a hero; usually, but not always, that hero will be a Kir'ko swarm herald.


Added DiffLines:

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: The Tyrranodon -- a genetically engineered lizard/dinosaur with a laser cannon strapped to its head.


Added DiffLines:

* WomenAreWiser: The Amazons certainly ''believe'' so. It's mostly CulturalPosturing.

Added DiffLines:

* ElvesVersusDwarves: The Dvar and Amazon both tend to terraform the land. In opposite ways; and the mountains Dvar raise up resist the Amazon's efforts at forestation, meaning the Amazons have reason to strike Dvar quickly before they can damage the land too much. Needless to say, a lot of the lore describes the two as going to war wherever they encounter one another.

** Most of the protagonist commanders in the story missions are solidly "grey" so they can be written as justified for either destroying their enemies with force or winning the game with diplomacy.



* KarmaMeter: Here it's called a "reputation" meter, and it goes both ways. Disreputable faction commanders will like you more if you do more "disreputable" stuff, but it's not directly tied to certain abilities, just who's the most forgiving of your actions.
* KillItWithFire: The "Promethean" Secret Technology tree is based around fire, blowing stuff up with fire, forging stuff with fire, dropping orbital napalm strikes to cover the battlefield with fire, terraforming the land with explosives, and melting enemies' faces off (with fire). It also has techs that protect your faction from the negative effects of all that fire, allowing you to inhabit volcanic or radioactive regions with few ill effects and no morale penalties.



* OneGenderRace: The Amazons became this.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: The Dvar faction is a pretty traditional rendition, to the point their armour suits have metal beards. As a faction, they are also geared towards slow but heavily armed and armoured units, and excel at production and mining.

* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: The Dvar faction is a pretty traditional rendition, to the point their armour suits have metal beards. As a faction, they are also geared towards slow but heavily armed and armoured units, and excel at production and mining. The primary twist is that they have Slavic names and accents, rather than the typical Scottish deal dwarves have.

Added DiffLines:

* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: Averted. Every campaign is actually on a different planet, with each one being the different factions trying to establish themselves; thus, the planet's drama is ultimately a smaller scale of a much bigger political war.

To a lesser extent, the Paragon troops are this as well; their basic trooper makes the "argh" zombie noises when selected and they often have rotted faces. The difference is that Paragon are all former Imperial nobility (or their servants) who kept themselves alive with cybernetics, so they're not undead so much as ''really'' old.

* MagicFromTechnology: You don't cast "spells" in this game, but you do use "Operations" which are functionally identical to the spells of the fantasy Age of Wonders games, right down to the "casting limit" during combat. They're divided into Tactical Operations (which you deploy during a battle), Strategic Operations which affect the larger world map, and "Doctrine" operations which enhance your empire as a whole.

* ACommanderIsYou: Much like the fantasy Age of Wonders games, your commander, units, and abilities are generally customized by two factors, their factional background and their specialty. Instead of fantasy hero classes like "Rogue," the specialty of your commander is based on what "Secret Technology" you possess, like VoidTech, which lets you warp time and space and do stuff like equip bullets that shoot through cover.
%%* AfterTheEnd: ''Planetfall'' is set after the collapse of a galaxy-spanning human empire known as the Star Union, and every race can trace their lineage to some social caste or organization that was originally part of the Union.
%%* ArtificialLimbs: The Assembly is a cyborg faction, and so adores this trope. Even their basic troops replace one arm with a shotgun, instead of just holding one.
%%* ArtificialZombie: These make up the bulk of The Assembly's troops.
%%* AttackDrone: The Vanguard excel at supporting their troops with these.
%%* BladeOnAStick: Some Amazon troops wield energy spears.
%%* BodyHorror: Many of The Assembly's troops are built with pure "efficiency" in mind, and so possess bodies that are gruesomely mangled and reshaped by the technology in order to fit more weapons or armor inside.
%%* ChainsawGood: The Assembly's "Engineer Analyst" fights with a buzzsaw.
%%* CombatTentacles: Assembly's "Engineer Analysts" are essentially undead human torsos that drag themselves on the ground with their human arms, while carrying a buzzsaw, an electric blaster and repair tools in its six robotic tentacles.
%%* CriticalExistenceFailure: As with previous ''Age of Wonders'' titles, units that have even a sliver of health left are still just as dangerous as fresh combatants. Downplayed with units that consist of multiple individuals, as the troops fall dead one by one as the unit takes more damage -- but the last man standing [[ConservationOfNinjutsu will still somehow put out enough firepower to equal all of his dead teammates combined]].

''Age Of Wonders: Planetfall'' is an upcoming TurnBasedStrategy game, developed by Triumph Studios and published by Creator/ParadoxInteractive. Unlike the [[VideoGame/AgeOfWonders previous]] [[VideoGame/AgeOfWonders3 games]] in the series, it is no longer [[FantasyVideoGames fantasy]], but wholly [[ScienceFictionVideoGames sci-fi]]. It is also not set in the future of the original games' timeline, like ''VideoGame/EndlessSpace'' to ''VideoGame/EndlessLegend'', but operates in a whole new continuity instead, with the original races not getting carried over.

It's set for a release date of August 6th, 2019 on [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] through UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} and Website/GogDotCom. The official website is [[https://www.aow-planetfall.com/ here]].

* SlaveMooks: The Syndicate's basic infantry are bonded slaves, whose service pays off the debt their family accrued. For many of them, that would take multiple generations.
* ShockAndAwe: A few units have electrical attacks.
* ShortRangeShotgun: Downplayed. While the effective range of shotguns is certainly smaller than that of assault rifles and the like, it is still a ranged attack, and will damage aerial units and the like.
* SpacePirates: The Syndicate would appear to be an evolved version of these.
* SuperSpit: Kir'ko attack at range through spitting poison.
* TakeCover: The introduction of a cover mechanic has been one aspect of the shift to firearms-centered combat.
* TechTree: Every faction has an expansive one.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Kir'ko used to be completely enslaved by the human Star Union, but eventually rebelled.

to:

* %%* MiniMecha: The Dvar mainly fight from inside these.
* %%* MookMedic: Every faction has these. Some, like The Assembly's Engineer Analyst, can also revive fallen allies - or revive enemy fallen as allies.
* %%* OneGenderRace: The Amazons became this.
* %%* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: The Dvar faction is a pretty traditional rendition, to the point their armour suits have metal beards. As a faction, they are also geared towards slow but heavily armed and armoured units, and excel at production and mining.

''Age Of Wonders: Planetfall'' is an upcoming TurnBasedStrategy game, developed by Triumph Studios and published by Creator/ParadoxInteractive. Unlike the [[VideoGame/AgeOfWonders previous]] [[VideoGame/AgeOfWonders3 games]] in the series, it is no longer [[FantasyVideoGames fantasy]], but wholly [[ScienceFictionVideoGames sci-fi]]. It is also not set in the future of the original games' timeline, like ''VideoGame/EndlessSpace'' to ''VideoGame/EndlessLegend'', but operates in a whole new continuity instead, with the original races not getting carried over.

It set for a release date of August 6th, 2019 on [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] through UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} and Website/GogDotCom. The official website is [[https://www.aow-planetfall.com/ here]].

!! Tropes present in this game:
* ArtificialLimbs: The Assembly is a cyborg faction, and so adores this trope. Even their basic troops replace one arm with a shotgun, instead of just holding one.
* ArtificialZombie: These make up the bulk of The Assembly's troops.
* AttackDrone: The Vanguard excel at supporting their troops with these.
* BladeOnAStick: Some Amazon troops wield energy spears.
* BodyHorror: Many of The Assembly's troops are built with pure "efficiency" in mind, and so possess bodies that are gruesomely mangled and reshaped by the technology in order to fit more weapons or armor inside.
* ChainsawGood: The Assembly's "Engineer Analyst" fights with a buzzsaw.
* CombatTentacles: Assembly's "Engineer Analysts" are essentially undead human torsos that drag themselves on the ground with their human arms, while carrying a buzzsaw, an electric blaster and repair tools in its six robotic tentacles.
* CriticalExistenceFailure: Enemies that have only a sliver of health left are still just as dangerous during their own turn as if they were at full health. Then again, same applies to your own troops.
* {{Cyborg}}: The Assembly faction consists of these.
* DomesticatedDinosaurs: The Amazons have dinosaur riders.
* GatlingGood: Dvar Bastion mech is equipped with dual autocannons.
* GiantFlyer: These are part of the world's aggressive fauna, which is liable to attack any faction.
* HumanPopsicle: According to The Vanguard commander in the trailer, all of their soldiers and colonists spent two hundred years in cryosleep. According to the Amazon commander, that was enough time for the Star Union they were meant to uphold to collapse while they were in transit. Undeterred, they intend to restart it regardless, starting with the world they are on.
* InsectoidAliens: The Kir'ko are these.
* {{Irony}}: The scene in the trailer where the Vanguard troops are engaged in a stand-off with both the bug-like Kir'ko on one side, and the Amazons on the other has their propaganda poster with the message of "Reaching Together" as the background.
* MiniMecha: The Dvar mainly fight from inside these.
* MookMedic: Every faction has these. Some, like The Assembly's Engineer Analyst, can also revive fallen allies - or revive enemy fallen as allies.
* OneGenderRace: The Amazons became this.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: The Dvar faction is a pretty traditional rendition, to the point their armour suits have metal beards. As a faction, they are also geared towards slow but heavily armed and armoured units, and excel at production and mining.
