Added DiffLines:

* PortingDisaster: The PC version of the game is widely regarded as the inferior version as the AI is not only dumber but also ''never'' moves their units, making them much easier to beat.

* SuperlativeDubbing: The German dub of the game is arguably even better than the original. It makes more frequent and clever use of military lingo, as well as greatly enhancing the personality of the individual pig soldiers by using more individualised naming patterns and a larger voice cast. In particular, the German team is composed of characters which probably only make sense to Germans or people more familiar with German culture, containing, for instance, a Turkish immigrant character.

It was decided on Ask The Tropers to nuke any mention of Needs More Love on main and YMMV pages. Besides, this is a Zero Context Example.

* {{Woolseyism}}: By the ''crapload''. The Italian version of the game has SuperlativeDubbing, and not because of the dubbing alone by itself - as it usually happens, a character coming from a place sharing the language of the dubbing uses dialect to show he or she is "more [adjective of nationality] than other character talking in [adjective of nationality] because of the dub".
** Same thing for the French dub, which was made by the authors of ''LesGuignolsDeLInfo''.
