* DifficultySpike: Whenever the fog shows up, things get noticeably more difficult - power production grinds to a halt, outdoor farming options drop in productivity, and drones are reduced to a snail's pace, crippling your export businesses. IF you haven't set up a trading netowrk and plenty of office spaces, watch out!

* AmbiguouslyJewish: "Houses of worship" have a very prominent menorah on one end, leading to some assuming that the people of the Cliff Empire are Jewish. On the other hand, it also has a very prominent cross-shaped roof, so it's more likely that they just belong to some futuristic religion that has elements of Judaism. Another possibility is perhaps the houses of worship are a sort of combined place of worship that serve all religions

Added DiffLines:
* TowerDefense: Marauder attacks. They'll show up to your cliffs in ever larger fleets of fighters, airships and battleships (which seem to be weaponized versions of the transport ships that drop down warehouses on new cliffs) and start blowing up your buildings and stealing your resources. You can build turrets, missile launchers and fighter hangers to fight them.

''Cliff Empire'' is a SpaceManagementGame by ''Lion's Share''.
Following a massive nuclear war, the surface of the Earth is blanketed in a 300m thick layer of radioactive fog. Those who still live on the surface do so on artificial cliffs built high enough to escape the fog. You lead a trio of these cliffs as they struggle to survive.
----
!!This game contains examples of:
* AfterTheEnd: The game takes place following a large scale nuclear war that rendered most of the surface uninhabitable, with the survivors living on either giant cliffs or space stations.
* CoolAirship: The game has several that are produced from the Airport, ranging from cargo drones (which are essentially the games version of a WorkerUnit) to Civilian drones, which increase happiness, and blimps, which are used for tourism.
* UnexpectedlyRealisticGameplay:
** Colonists not only need food, but also a ''variety'' of food, and will be noticeably unhappy if they can only receive one source of food.
** You actually have to pay out unemployment benefits if you have citizens who don't have jobs.
** Similarly, some of your profits will regularly be stolen if you don't have any legal framework in place to discourage crimes.
* WorkerUnit: Cargo Drones - while you cannot directly order them around, they build all structures and deliver goods to trade portals and shuttles for sale.
