* AnIcePerson: The Cult uses frost magic. Their wizard squads freeze enemies in their tracks.
* ArtificialStupidity: Unfortunately applies both to your troops and the enemy's. Squads in range of an enemy will ''always'' attack it, no matter the difference in strength or if it's a sleeping ogre (fortunately, the computer doesn't pick up the gold left behind).
* AwesomeButImpractical: Trebuchets deal huge damage to strongholds at unmatched ranges, can't be poisoned or scared... but are extremely slow to move and fire, take up two cap (when five squads in an almost unstoppable army) and cost a lot.

* BarbarianTribe: The Crimson Horde.
* BladeOnAStick: The Cult's Rebels (later Myrmidons) are equipped with spears that do extra damage to cavalry.
* CosmeticallyDifferentSides: Averted. While each faction has the same unit types (melee, ranged, magic and cavalry), they are vastly different in terms of stats and abilities.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Ranged units suffer anywhere from 50% to 100% damage penalty against melee troops. Averted by Giantbots, whose "Martial Artist" ability removes the penalty (and they appear to be armed with giant chainsaws).
* CrystalDragonJesus: The Duchy's religion is the Church of the Lord, who sometimes deigns to appear on the battlefield as a sword-wielding giant.
* DeathFromAbove: The Horde's Cataclysm special sends meteors raining down across the map, (theoretically) doing more damage to the enemy than to your troops.
* DragonRider: The Cult's upgraded cavalry turn into these.
* TheEmpire: The first campaign is an aversion (you're playing them, after all), but later campaigns play it straight.
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: The Horde are a mishmash of desert cultures and Mongolians.
* FisherKing: When a stronghold is [[TitleDrop taken over]], the surrounding province reflects the change in ownership: grasslands for the Duchy, desert for the Horde, tundra for the Cult, and dead wastelands for the Empire.
* FloatingContinent: Rivadis, or at least so far above the clouds it might as well be floating.
* GarrisonableStructures: Strongholds are captured first by destroying them, then stacking troops inside to repair the structures and heal the troops. Once repaired, it begins producing gold and/or mana, increases your squad cap and allows you to produce various units. When a garrisoned structure is attacked, the defenders pop out to attack. Towns train the basic melee and ranged troops, towers train melee and magic, and castles can make every unit except magic users.
* GlassCannon / SquishyWizard: the Cult's troops do very badly in prolonged combat, so their tactics depends on preventing the enemy from acting at all.
* HeelRealization: The Empire fell into decay when its aristocracy started to explore necromancy. The Horde have a moment of this (after you've beaten their campaign) when they realize that's what digging up their ancestors to fight alongside them will lead to.
* HellishHorse: the Horde's undead cavalry are symbolized by a skeletal horse.
* KnightTemplar: According to the Cult advisor, peace treaties are prevented by the more zealous members of the Church of the Lord, you must defeat them for negotiations to begin.

* LightningBruiser / FragileSpeedster: the Horde specializes in very fast troops that deal a lot of damage, but have little staying power.
* LimitBreak: each faction has a special power that is only available after a long cooldown, and is heralded by BossSubtitles.
** The Duchy's Advent of the Lord summons a huge PhysicalGod [[{{BFS}} wielding a sword more than half its size]].
** The Horde's Cataclysm summons meteors that strike indiscriminately.
** The Cult's Grand Transformation reduces ''all'' enemy troops to half health, and gives you gold and mana for each enemy killed.
** The Empire's Call to the Grave randomly transforms enemy squads into their undead equivalent.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: the Guards' (later Legionaries) Shield Wall reduces ranged damage.
* MagiTek: The Cult consists mostly of mages with robotic minions.
* MightyGlacier: The Duchy's troops are heavily armored and focus on staying power, but move very slowly as a result, including their massive PhysicalGod.
* MoneyForNothing: Averted; unless you have half the map's buildings devoted to mining gold you ''will'' run out.
* MoreDakka: Gunsmiths, then Gunbots, then Giantbots specialize in this.
* NoCampaignForTheWicked: The Undead faction is unplayable. Of course, given how overpowered they are, this isn't surprising.
* NoSell: Undead units, robots and Legionaries are immune to fear.
* PhysicalGod: the Duchy's Avatar.
* ReligionIsMagic: The Duchy's secondary spell is a BoltOfDivineRetribution.
