* ArtisticLicenseHistory: On the subject of gladiatorial combat in Roman Empire itself. Game makes it seem like you either win on the arena, or die, with dozens of gladiators getting cut to pieces regularily, while in reality most bouts ended up with contestants leaving the arena alive, and not permanently crippled (deaths and crippling injuries of course occured sometimes). The game also plays down the idea of free gladiators; in reality, one didn't have to make themselves a slave in order to participate in games.
** In few situations where you play as Agrippa and enemies aren't automatically aware of you, a [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks thrown weapon]] will kill an unaware opponent in one hit.

* AntiArmor: Blunt weapons cause great damage to armor and shields.
* ArmorIsUseless: Played with. The full-body armor of soldiers doesn't have any gameplay effect aside from the helmets, which predictably reduce damage taken. Arm protectors worn by gladiators (which Agrippa can get later), however, do reduce damage taken, prevent amputation of the arm (it can still be broken), and can be destroyed in combat. This make late-game enemies in the arenas much harder to kill.

* CoupDeGrace: Can be done to downed enemy; also to you. It's not, however, an instant kill. Notably, if you are armed, and are stomping on a downed opponent, you will automatically perform the Coup De Grace when the enemy would die.

** If Agrippa loses a match in a way other than dying, the GameOver screen won't show him lying dead in the sand.
** If Octavianus gets spotted in the tavern, the game just resets him to the entrance of tavern's main hall, without the standard [[GameOver "You Failed!"]] screen.
** If Octavianus is seen by a character he's supposed to be tailing, or is close enough to any other alerted enemy, that character will recognise Octavianus and call him out, causing the mission to be failed instantly.

Added DiffLines:
* CriticalExistenceFailure: Played straight for the player, but subverted for enemies: while their attacks don't become less dangerous, as enemies get low on health, they become easier to stun, sometimes become stunned from tiring themselves out, remain stunned for longer time, take longer to get up, and tend to slowly shuffle around [[ZombieGait not unlike zombies]], instead of pursuing the player normally.
Added DiffLines:
* EpicFlail: The Morningstar. Can be swung around, hitting everything around (unless it's too close), or whipped forward for a strong, precise, long-ranged strike.

Added DiffLines:
* ChargedAttack: Many attacks can be charged by holding the attack button. They deal more damage this way, obviously, but this also has additional effects like breaking/chopping off limbs, knocking people down, avoiding bouncing-off a block, or the attack being unblockable.
Added DiffLines:
* EdgeGravity: With a few random exceptions, you can't simply jump off, or fall from any edge - Octavianus can descend via the ContextSensitiveButton, while Agrippa can descend from higher platforms only by ladders. In addition, the edge will stop people from getting knocked over it, if they aren't knocked over it strongly enough.
Added DiffLines:
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Shields are present, and are, indeed, very useful, especially as they can block some of the attacks that aren't blockable by a weapon, let alone bare fists. Using a shield also spares you using weapon's durability for defending yourself.
Added DiffLines:
* ShieldBash: A viable attack option. Also, using it in attack combinations is appreciated by the audience.
