comment
Age Of Wonders: Planetfall is a Turn-Based Strategy game, developed by Triumph Studios and published by Paradox Interactive. Unlike the previous games in the series, it is no longer just fantasy, but rather Science Fantasy. It is also not set in the future of the original games' timeline, like Endless Space to Endless Legend, but operates in a whole new continuity instead, with the original races not getting carried over (though some of the old races have spiritual successors such as the Shakarn being similar to Lizardmen).It was released on August 6th, 2019 on PC through Steam and GOG.com. The official website is here.

Caused the Big Bang: The Flavor Text narrator for one particular explosives-oriented item in the research tree philosophically discusses explosions, points out how the big bang was an explosion, then ponders what exactly God was trying to kill with said explosion.

Sure, Let's Go with That: In the Shakarn campaign. When the Shakarn, alien Lizard Folk, first encounter the Therians, who are transhuman beast people, the Therians assume the Shakarn are also bio-augmented humans. The Shakarn leader hastily says they'd prefer not to talk about it, and the Therians, no strangers to being treated as freaks, don't pry any further.

 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_137f2d7
comment
Card-Carrying Villain: Factions with the Psynumbra secret tech are gleefully psychotic and unapologetic about using the darkest potential of psychic powers for domination. It is rare to see an Assembly commander that isn't cackling over the prospect of turning you into spare parts (with the possible exception of a certain Celestian Assembly guy), and most Xenoplague-using commanders are placed in an antagonistic relationship to you. At one point in the Revelations campaign, you run into a Psynumbra Assembly commander. Perhaps unsurprisingly, his official title is "High Priest of the Chapel of Abyssal Edgelords".

Evil Versus Evil: The final mission of the campaign is set in an all-out war between the forces of Empress Carminia and CORE, the former of which is responsible for some truly spectacular atrocities (including the death of trillions during the Cataclysm) while the latter intends to do something about The Evils of Free Will. You can join either side or Take a Third Option and kick them both out of the galaxy, though that is the path of most resistance, as virtually every faction will be fighting you in the final battle.

Never Trust a Trailer
 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The story trailer has Jack Gelder, default leader of the Vanguard in their campaign missions, landing on a planet and immediately ending up waving guns at the local Kir'ko and Amazons by being a complete General Ripper. In the campaign, Jack's first conflict is with other Vanguard who've become little more than bandits after the Star Union's fall, and his first encounter with the Kir'ko is freeing a group of them from Syndicate slavers. (He can still be a Jerkass and pick a fight with them afterwards, but he never has to end up in conflict with the Kir'ko and can easily become one of their best allies in the Vanguard.)

Artificial Limbs: 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. Users of the Synthesis secret technology, though they're subtler about it, are the same. To say nothing of what happens when the Assembly uses Synthesis.

comment
Enemy Exchange Program: As with the rest of the Age of Wonders games, you may choose to absorb an enemy colony as it is, instead of razing it or replacing the population with your own race, thus allowing you to research that race's technology and incorporate their units into your armies. In the case of one race, the Shakarn, they can unlock another race's technology and mods through the Infiltrate covert ops without having to absorb their colonies.

Colour Coded Elements: Attacks, hazards, weapons and even some units are colored based on their damage type: Thermal attacks are red, Arc is blue, Biochemical is green, Kinetic is yellow, Psionic is purple, and Entropy in the expansions is dark blue. The two notable exceptions are Celestian psionics, which are gold/white colored befitting their theme as a religion based around light; and Shakarn sonic/omni weapons, which mix Kinetic and Thermal damage and use Kinetic yellow ability icons, but use a mix of teal, cyan and lavender for their firing effects.

Slave Mooks: 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. They can even turn low tier biological, cyborg and battlesuit units of other races into these via the Control Collars mod. (The reason you'd want to do this is there's a few gameplay benefits, like Overseers zapping an Indentured to refresh their action points).

comment
Wave-Motion Gun: The Syndicate's T4 unit, the Zenith, is a hovering warship with one of these mounted in its bow. The Cataclysm Cannon needs to charge up for two turns before being ready to use, but when it fires, the results are...well, cataclysmic. The Shakarn's T4 unit, the Sonokarn, is a Cool Starship that also makes use of this. Its Omni-Beam is a single action ability that normally fires in a 3-hex line, but it can spend a full action to charge it up so that it doubles its length and triples its width, becoming a true Herd-Hitting Attack. When paired with a Tactician or a Hero armed with the Tactician's fins, the Sonokarn can have its action points restored so that it can charge and fire the beam in the same turn, or use its regular attack then charge the beam up so that its ready for the next.

comment
Mythology Gag: Many of the unit flavor texts are written from the perspective of one Mah Reg'nib, also described in an NPC conversation as short but very amiable. This is of course the sci-fi version of the original Age of Wonders series' own Ham Binger, luckiest halfling alive... It's an Age of Wonders game, so of course there are giant penguins, and of course they're creatures of pure malice. This time around of course they aren't demonic but rather the result of some very ill-advised genetic modification. As mentioned earlier, the flavor text for the Assembly Reaver has an acronym that spells INIOCH, the name of the undead elf king and primary villain of the first Age of Wonders.

Karma Meter: 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. Usually striking deals and doing NPC quests will help your reputation grow, and NPC units are cheaper to buy with influence if you have a sterling reputation.

Awesome, but Impractical
 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: Unlike other 4X games like Civilization, each and every single unit class is unique. Earlier-tier units aren't replaced by stronger variations of basically the same thing as more stuff is researched. Stuff like Vanguard Troopers will always be in vogue, and with proper modding support they can take down things a lot bigger than them. Later-tier units, on the other hand, will become prohibitively expensive in production cost, energy cost and upkeep and the need for Cosmite to build them without the necessary mods, which costs even more Cosmite and energy. This means that tried-and-true squad builds from the early game, which will come out hand-over-fist with later-game income supporting them, will often take precedence over the bigger, badder units. This is only mostly true however in short, rush-based games, due to the concept of "Stack Density". A group of T3 units is inherently "denser" and concentrates more force in a given area than one made entirely of T1 and T2 units, and even one T3 unit with three cheap mods can be an excellent force multiplier in the mid or (assuming you went for a tech rush) early game. During particularly long matches, a player focused on building more T3s can potentially easily dominate stacks full of even modded T1s and T2s without suffering too much attrition, forcing the other player to be more tricky and underhanded with their approach. T4 units, as purely combat units. There ARE ways to get them out much easier: the vehicles can serve as mounts for heroes once they unlock Advanced Piloting, they can be bought as NPC/Dwelling purchases, or conjured as rare summons from the Amazon "Clone Predators" operation, or the respective Psynumbra/Celestian T4 Special Operations. Building them, on the other hand, is incredibly costly in Production, Energy and Cosmite (which they also cost every turn in maintenance), making amassing armies of them impractical even on the largest and resource-abundant maps. Many have extremely strong abilities which are otherwise inaccessible however; the key is to integrate them in armies of lesser troops as powerful support units.

Spikes of Villainy: They're all over the Spacers NPC faction (a collection of drug-addled violent lunatics who treat life as a video game) as part of their post-apocalyptic desertpunk aesthetic. The Assembly are not necessarily villainous (their Hat is For Science!) but they do love the spiky look. The Shakarn, a nefarious race of alien invaders, sport lots of spike-like visuals on their gear, ranging from encrusted rock on their otherwise-smooth starships to metal prongs jutting from armor components.

Magic from Technology: 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.

After the End: Planetfall is set after the collapse of a galaxy-spanning human empire known as the Star Union, and the majority of races can trace their lineage to some social caste or organization that was originally part of the Union.

Morton's Fork: AI leader personality traits can occasionally lead to interesting dilemmas in diplomacy. The "Loyal" trait means the leader will dislike anybody who breaks a diplomatic agreement. Silliness ensues when a Loyal ally demands that you join their war on another AI that you have some sort of agreement with: Refuse? That counts as breaking the alliance, and that leader will now hate you forever. Declare war? The leader will now hate you forever for breaking an agreement they demanded you break just a turn ago.

Human Popsicle: All of the soldiers and colonists of the Vanguard 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. You can also find old cryogenics laboratories in the world as a high-level landmark. Annexing them into your territory unlocks an operation that allows you to thaw out some of the people inside, boosting the population of your cities at the cost of some temporary unhappiness as the new arrivals briefly struggle with fitting in to your society.

When Trees Attack: The Amazon Arborian units, which come in two types. The first one, the Arborian Sentinel, is a support unit armed with laser cannons and Thorn Roots capable of entangling enemies from a distance, it is also capable of granting bonus shields to friendly units. The second, the Arborian Queen, is the Amazon T4 unit that uses bio cannons and a more powerful Root Quake ability with a wider area of effect, it can also restore dead animal and plant units back to life, as well as grow whole forests on the strategic map.

Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: The Dvar's main infantry, the Trenchers, who carry heavy shields, and can dig them into the ground to provide cover even out in the open. "Fortified" Trenchers can even make mini-fortresses that heal the occupant, making them extremely tough to dig out. To a lesser extent, the Amazon Lancers as well, whose riders carry an energy buckler that somehow provides a generous amount of protection in defensive mode. And the Paragon Guards, who are particularly vulnerable to flanking attacks, more so than Dvar Trenchers or Vanguard Bikes.

Our Dwarves Are All the Same: 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.

Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: Downplayed by the Assembly despite being heavily inspired by the Borg and Strogg, as all of their units retain enough mental capacity and free will to be affected by Psionic status effects and morale, and their colonists are still affected by happiness and unhappiness. On the other hand, at least half of the Paragon units are mindless, though that is more due to the degradation of the implants that keep them alive.

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. Though in the case of some mounts, such as the Engulfer, the Hero is not visible on the model, implying that some of the Kir'ko castes are actually biological mecha or that the Hero becomes that caste until they are somehow changed back to normal.

Black-and-Grey Morality: The majority of factions and secret techs are grey — even Celestian has some sinister undertones. But then Psynumbra is entirely devoid of redeeming qualities; it's all about pain, suffering, cruelty, and despair. 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.

Combat Tentacles: Assembly's "Reverse Engineers" 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. The Growth. Many, many of their units utilize plant tentacles to do damage in melee. Xenoplague's Plague Lords can lacerate enemies with tentacles in melee.

Horse of a Different Color
 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_77aedc5c
comment
Horse of a Different Color: 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 Tyrannodon is the most iconic, but there are also Lancers who ride Swift Beaks, a sort of a striped lizard-tiger thing, and the flying, laser-armed, pterosaur-like Harriers. Amazons sometimes even mount secret tech units that are normally infantry; their VoidTech Echo Walkers ride Swift Beaks, while their 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. Though in the case of some mounts, such as the Engulfer, the Hero is not visible on the model, implying that some of the Kir'ko castes are actually biological mecha or that the Hero becomes that caste until they are somehow changed back to normal.

Military includes Faction techs for any faction you have at least one colony of, two Weapons tech trees based on your starting faction, and your Secret tech tree.

One of the stronger Psynumbra units is infamous for also having an attack that functions like this, but uses psychic energy instead of electricity.

They even have an Infiltrator unit that can mimic T1 and T2 enemy units.

Artificial Stupidity
 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_940a5958
comment
Artificial Stupidity: The strategic AI often leaves much to be desired in terms of willingness to take risks and choosing and changing unit mods, and while the tactical AI is often considered to be an overall improvement over previous games, it still struggles with certain unit abilities and often insists on using up every single secondary and tertiary ability on each and every unit over the often more effective primary attacks. Notable offenders in this regard are Vanguard Troopers, Syndicate Indentured and pretty much any unit that has a grenade or grenade-like ability (either innate or acquired through mods and gear), who will often suicidally rush the nearest enemy in an effort to rid themselves of their grenades asap, or units like Shakarn Tacticians, Syndicate Overseers and Heritor Siphoners, who have a tendency of obliviously and blindly applying their Extra Turn abilities to units that still have at least one action point left, and only rarely using it on a unit that has none remaining.

Elves Versus Dwarves: The Dvar and Amazon both tend to terraform the land, in opposite ways. The Dvar crush mountains down to dust and eventually "fertile plains," or even to barren wastelands with their ultimate unit. This opposes 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.

Evolutionary Levels: Xenoplague units "evolve" into bigger ones if you have the right tech for it and took the time to infect more units with parasites during battle. This is less about "adaptation" and more about how the Xenoplague units are colony creatures that pile themselves up into a bigger physical form the more biomass they acquire. Psi-Fish, Kir'ko Emergent and certain animal units also "mature" into a different unit if they reach maximum experience levels.

Unusable Enemy Equipment
 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_a89efe3c
comment
Unusable Enemy Equipment: While you can easily get the units of NPC factions under your banner by getting in their good graces, there's a lot more specialized units that are only put under your control by quest events, if you're very lucky. Penguins, Reapers, Quartzites and Hopperhounds are but a few of the Neutrals, Critters, and Creeps running around you have to deal with that you can't normally manufacture or buy with influence. There are also the unique upgrades used by the Quartzite neutral creature type as well as other wildlife units, which can only be obtained very rarely by using the Amazons' Animal Control operation or a Prime Rank Heritor Drained's Mind Possession successfully on a unit that has them. Downplayed by certain operations and unit abilities that kill an enemy unit and replace it with a different one of your own, or control an enemy unit but replace it with another after combat. Units acquired or created this way retain any compatible mods (regardless of secret tech) from the victim and unlocks those mods for other units like them, and only them. Galactic Empire mode, added with the free patch that came with the launch of Star Kings, subverts the trope to an extent by allowing you to gradually unlock units, mods and doctrines that would otherwise be entirely disallowed to your current race and class, allowing you to tweak your playstyle. Certain relics also allow you to acquire the neutral units listed above.

Absent Aliens
 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_a9c7258a
comment
Absent Aliens: Played around with. There's plenty of alien wildlife in the universe, but sapient beings are considerably rarer; humans and descendant offshoots of humans are the most common mostly because they discovered hyperdrive first, with only the Kir'ko insectoids being the other major alien sapients around. (Psi-fish come from another dimension entirely and not in great enough numbers to be their own empire, and the rest of the non-human sapients are typically the result of Star Union experimentation or technology run amok). Then the Shakarn showed up in Invasions, surprising everyone.

Sexbot: The E:Bot - ROY-2 and EMMA-3 are robots built for personal service and pleasure. As combat units, the E:Bots raise morale to adjacent allies and can emit pheromones to debilitate enemies. For example, ROY-2 emits distracting pheromones that cause attacks to more likely fumble, while EMMA-3 emits love pheromones that mind control your target.

Xenoplague: A subversive technology that poisons the battlefield; unlike other Secret Technologies, you can't manufacture its units. Instead you spawn them from defeated enemies provided you infected them with a parasite during battle. For your normal units, Xenoplague technology provides genetic mods to make your units stronger, regenerate health, or just be so pissed-off they're totally immune to mind control and negative morale modifiers.

Humans Are Divided
 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_bba34b82
comment
Humans Are Divided: With the exception of the Kir'ko and Shakarn, every playable race is a Human Subspecies that emerged after the fall of the Star Union. Four of the seven NPC factions (the Paragon, Spacers, Forgotten and Therians) are also composed of divergent/modified humans. Even the non-human factions all in some way owe what they are to the influence of the Star Union. (The Union created the robots which later became the Autonom, the Growth are the result of experimenting on a form of rapidly growing alien flora, and they accidentally summoned the Psi-Fish to this world through their VoidTech experiments.)

While you can easily get the units of NPC factions under your banner by getting in their good graces, there's a lot more specialized units that are only put under your control by quest events, if you're very lucky. Penguins, Reapers, Quartzites and Hopperhounds are but a few of the Neutrals, Critters, and Creeps running around you have to deal with that you can't normally manufacture or buy with influence.

For Heritors, it's Final Transcendence, which is actually something of a subversion, in that it doesn't directly kill anyone. Rather, it summons a legion of Es'Teq Minds to start systematically overtaking every important enemy, until all your rivals have been so completely dominated by them they can no longer reasonably put up any resistance.

A Commander Is You
 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_c2c32a79
comment
A Commander Is You: Much like the fantasy Age of Wonders games, your commander, units, and abilities are generally customized by two factors, their racial background and their specialty. Instead of fantasy hero classes like "Rogue," the specialty of your commander is based on what "Secret Technology" you possess. Voidtech: Focuses on a variety of features that let your units walk through cover or shoot through cover, making phantom copies of your units or your citizens back at home, and messing around with time and space in general. Psynumbra: An offensive-focused Psionics technology tree that burns enemy minds and makes ethereal units spawn on the battlefield, born straight out of their regret. Even mindless enemies immune to mental status ailments feel the burn as psionic weaponry blasts straight through enemy armor and almost nothing resists it. Celestian: A defensive-focused Psionics technology that makes your units "Enlightened," granting them bonus healing and better combat against "soul-burned" enemies, who usually become so after attacking you and becoming demoralized because of it. The larger Operations can peacefully steal citizens from enemy colonies and entice them to migrate to yours or give you discounts on NPC faction units. Synthesis: A cybernetics-focused technology tree that lets you Integrate all of your biological, mechanical and cyborg units into an AI network, providing them with a wide variety of buffs via certain Synthesis-exclusive operations and units. They also have a plethora of options for hacking and debuffing enemy mechanical and cyborg units, but despite being advertised as one of Synthesis' main selling points, it is ultimately secondary or even tertiary to the Integration mechanics and operations. Back home at your cities, Synthesis doctrines and upgrades make your society much more efficient overall with energy, production and the like. Xenoplague: A subversive technology that poisons the battlefield; unlike other Secret Technologies, you can't manufacture its units. Instead you spawn them from defeated enemies provided you infected them with a parasite during battle. For your normal units, Xenoplague technology provides genetic mods to make your units stronger, regenerate health, or just be so pissed-off they're totally immune to mind control and negative morale modifiers. Promethean: A highly offense-focused secret technology that focuses mostly on burning the enemy, the battlefield, and scorching away alien life (including animals and Xenoplague units). It also has some decent healing techs that use the power of fire to purify status ailments, and provides mods that let your units ignore environmental hazards (or with a mod, even regenerate while on fire). Heritor: A religiously-themed technology that starts off slow, but rewards you for hitting enemies with Essence, which can be spent on various powerful abilities, making your units stronger as the enemy grows weaker. It also allows you to convert defeated enemy infantry into ghostly Drained, which can then go on to sacrifice themselves to permanently mind control other enemies.

Shout-Out
 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The male androids sometimes seen in Paragon/Autonom stacks and marauder groups are called Roy-2. One of the research technologies has a Jonathan Crane talk about 'delicious fear'. When playing as the cyborg Assembly in random scenarios, the introduction warns you that not all will be servile and you will face resistance. It fails to elaborate on whether said resistance will be futile. The question is answered by the Steam achievement for beating a game as an Assembly Commander, the "Resistance is Futile" achievement. The flavour text for the Shakarn Firebrand unit's database entry details the complaint of one July Del'Torus about censors making silly excuses for disapproving his design for a lizard-crab kaiju in his next movie and suspecting a conspiracy behind it. The flavour text for one of the objectives the game might give you for a planet in the "galactic empire" mode introduced in the free update that came with the Star Kings DLC describes a Heritor envoy who asks you to "bust" (meaning grab or loot in the game's context) resource pickups on the map because "bustin' makes him feel good".

Cool Starship
 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_c7b5445c
comment
The Shakarn's T4 unit, the Sonokarn, is a Cool Starship that also makes use of this. Its Omni-Beam is a single action ability that normally fires in a 3-hex line, but it can spend a full action to charge it up so that it doubles its length and triples its width, becoming a true Herd-Hitting Attack. When paired with a Tactician or a Hero armed with the Tactician's fins, the Sonokarn can have its action points restored so that it can charge and fire the beam in the same turn, or use its regular attack then charge the beam up so that its ready for the next.

Power Fist: Dvar Foremen only carry a fairly weak hand mortar as a ranged weapon. When something really needs killing they instead rely on the gauntlets of their Power Armor. The unit description states that it breaks through "rocks and monsters alike". Syndicate Enforcers use Psi-Tec Gauntlets in melee that inflict brutal damage by bypassing both armor and shields. Several varieties are also available as hero equipment, including the Tyrant Fist which combines this trope with a powerful laser cannon.

Outside-Context Problem: The Shakarn from the Invasions DLC are this, being virtually unknown to the wider Star Union (with the Kir'ko being the only documented sapient alien species to the Star Union) and appearing seemingly without warning after its collapse. The same DLC also introduces the Voidbringers, who are a late-game threat reminiscent of the crises from Stellaris. So far, the Voidbringers are described as distant relatives of the Psi-Fish who use enslaved thralls as their troops, and like the Shakarn, have chosen to invade after the fall of the Star Union.

The End of the World as We Know It
 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_d71d51fd
comment
The End of the World as We Know It: One of the ending conditions for random scenarios is "Doomsday." It's all about building a Doomsday Device and reducing the planet you're inhabiting to easily conquered rubble, and each secret tech has their own way of doing it. For the Celestians, this is The Final Revelation, which uses psychic waves to brainwash everyone in the world into accepting the Celestians' "truth". This is a Class 2 end of the world, as it doesn't destroy anything, but rather collapses every society other than the player's. For the Prometheans, Planetary Purification floods the atmosphere with PyrX gas, incinerating the entire world and causing a Class 6 end, extinction of all life. One of the silver-class landmarks you can find are Promethean bunkers, which they had planned to use to allow themselves and their followers to survive. For Psynumbra, Oblivio Mundi floods the world with evil psychic waves, forcing everyone to go Brainwashed and Crazy, and kill each other and themselves, likely causing a Class 5 multi-species extinction event and leaving only mindless creatures behind. For Xenoplague, Omega Awakening infects everyone on the planet with a super virus called the Omega Strain. Implied to be less about destruction and more forcibly "evolving" everyone into xenoplague creatures. For Voidtech, Dimensional Cascade opens portals to every parallel universe that exists - an infinite number - and channels all of the energy from all of them. The class of this is unknown, as the tech itself explicitly states that no one can possibly understand what will happen as a result of this... it could provide unlimited free energy to everyone and create a glorious utopia... or it could create a Class Z omniversal destruction event. For Synthesis, this is The Singularity, which hacks all computer systems on the planet through the Synthesis' Basilisk Network, putting all electronics under the player's control. The result is a Class 2 event as every other faction is forced to either surrender or abandon all of their technology. For Heritors, it's Final Transcendence, which is actually something of a subversion, in that it doesn't directly kill anyone. Rather, it summons a legion of Es'Teq Minds to start systematically overtaking every important enemy, until all your rivals have been so completely dominated by them they can no longer reasonably put up any resistance.

Celestian: A defensive-focused Psionics technology that makes your units "Enlightened," granting them bonus healing and better combat against "soul-burned" enemies, who usually become so after attacking you and becoming demoralized because of it. The larger Operations can peacefully steal citizens from enemy colonies and entice them to migrate to yours or give you discounts on NPC faction units.

comment
Amazon Brigade: The Amazons are an all-female faction of bioengineers that fill the Space Elves niche in the game. While their humanoid units are visibly female, their heavy units are all living creatures modified with modern weaponry.

Artificial Zombie
 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_db94aee5
comment
Artificial Zombie: These make up the bulk of the Assembly's troops; they can install cybernetics in corpses, even on the battlefield, to create throwaway suicide troops. To a lesser extent, the Paragon troops are this as well; their basic troopers are mindless, make 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 that have degraded over time, so they're not undead so much as really old.

 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_df11acbe
comment
Artificial Brilliance: The tactical AI coordinating the movement of units outside of battles can competently execute a surprising number of nasty tactics. Standout examples include launching diversionary invasions while sending elite armies to capture poorly-defended cities on the opposite end of their target's empire, evacuating seriously threatened cities and then swarming the invaders once they're too deep in enemy territory to retreat, and hiding ambushes on the far side of teleporters. At the strategic level, the AI will iteratively improve its unit mods based on performance and will steadily expand until all available land on any given map is colonized, though both processes only shine on the highest difficulties, where the AI receives enough free resources to afford all of the mods and Colonizers.

Friend to All Living Things: Except their enemies, that is. The Amazons operate their wars off this trope. They receive bonuses to movement within dense forests and jungles, and their "heavy weapons" are all living creatures of one type or another that they have either domesticated or genetically engineered to serve a specific role in combat.

Humongous Mecha
 Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Video Game) / int_e6f18344
comment
Humongous Mecha: The Vanguard Walker and the Promethean Phoenix Walker, as well as the occasional Imperial Walker that can be found in neutral guarding stacks (often those aligned with the Paragon) or as a site-clearing reward. The Paragon Heavy Soldier, which resembles a stumpier and heavily worn-down version of the Vanguard and Imperial Walkers, is also this in spirit, albeit it is classified as a cyborg instead of a mechanical unit. The third DLC, Star Kings, introduces the Oathbound, a race that makes heavy use of towering battlesuits called Paladins. The Triceratops patch that came with Star Kings also retroactively added the battlesuit tag to the four units mentioned above as well as the Mini-Mecha listed further down below, allowing them to equip mods that were previously meant primarily or exclusively for infantry and mounted units.

Heal It With Fire: The Prometheans can attach the "PyrX Absorption Panels" mod onto any cyborg, mechanical or biological unit which allows them to regenerate while standing in flames. An earlier Promethean mod, the "Purification Field", is a medkit that also makes use of this to heal and dispel debuffs from the target friendly unit.

Civil Warcraft: Very common, particularly in the campaign. Several campaigns have a primary antagonist of your faction (Amazon, Assembly), and most of the others see the player going up against their own kind for different reasons. The factions aren't particularly united.

Enclosed Extraterrestrials: The Dvar, much like Mass Effect's quarians, are stuck living their whole lives in environemntal suits that, oddly, all seem to double as suits of Powered Armor, although this could be explained by the fact that the only Dvar who ever get any actual screentime are soldiers on the battlfield. The trope is subverted however, in that the Dvar are actually none-too-distantly descended from humans.

Overworld Not to Scale: The case like with all Grand Strategy games, as your basic foot-soldiers probably aren't actually the size of small skyscrapers. ...With the very confusing exception of one main menu loading screen depicting a vast countryside plain, with several Dvar grunts in the foreground depicted on the scale used in tactical combat (a reasonable 5ft-ish), with the distant background containing a Dvar Earth Crusher depicted on the scale used in the overworld (the size of a freaking mountain). For reference, the Earth Crusher's model stands at a "mere" 5-ish stories in actual tactical combat.

Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong: Xenoplague units are spawned by infecting enemies with a parasite during battle (provided you kill them and win), but an even more direct example are the Psi-Fish's Siren units, who can actually implant an egg in an enemy right during battle with one of their basic units. The poor afflicted enemy unit will run around in a panic for two turns before dying and being replaced with a Psi-Fish under your control. The icon for the Siren's implant ability even directly resembles a Facehugger on a human head.

They also have a plethora of options for hacking and debuffing enemy mechanical and cyborg units, but despite being advertised as one of Synthesis' main selling points, it is ultimately secondary or even tertiary to the Integration mechanics and operations. Back home at your cities, Synthesis doctrines and upgrades make your society much more efficient overall with energy, production and the like.

No-Gear Level: No matter what amazing weapons and mods your spectacularly overpowered campaign heroes collected over the past two missions...for the final free-for-all on Mora Secundis, they start back at zero with their default loadout. And that final mission is really stingy with good hero gear drops because of how it's set up. note  You mostly get the good stuff from exploring high-value landmarks, but all of those start out already occupied by either Autonom or Paragon in the final mission.

The Remnant: The Vanguard, thanks to cryogenic hibernation, are the only playable faction that directly hails from the fallen Star Union, as well as consisting of the pre-Collapse human species. They have every intention of rebuilding the Union, starting with the world they land on. The Paragons, an NPC faction, are composed of the Star Union's former elites, politicians and aristocrats, who survived the Collapse through life-extending medical technology and implants. At the end of their campaign, the Shakarn expeditionary forces end up in this position due to their homeworlds and their entire empire having been eaten by the Voidbringers.

You Require More Vespene Gas: "Cosmite" is the Vespene of the game, a fairly rare resource that you can find in select areas, in one-use clusters or through certain colony upgrades. It's needed for modding units, building Colonizers, or constructing very high-tier units. Influence points also count, though they're arguably even rarer: while they're not quite as versatile as Cosmite, and can only be reliably gained for most races (except the Syndicate) through quests, they are needed to buy stuff from city-states, move independent armies non-violently and sway the opinion of other players toward you.
