Battle Realms/YMMV


 * Breather Level: Acquiring the Necromancer. The only things to fight are his Spirit Warriors and Zombies coming down from his throne, which can be rushed past anyway. Having Shinja ascend up the hill is all that's necessary.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: The Dragon theme, for starters.
 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Inexplicably quite popular in the Philippines.
 * Good Bad Bugs: A bug in the original release allowed the player to destroy enemy buildings with the Demolish command, which was only supposed to work on the player's buildings. It was fixed in the expansion.
 * Don't forget the unlimited Yin cheat.
 * It Was His Sled: Poor Otomo. Due to plot reasons, he does not survive through any of the Dragon or Serpent campaigns.
 * Needs More Love: Outshadowed to obscurity by its popular rival Warcraft 3 in its time.
 * Replacement Scrappy: Kazan,.
 * Squick: The entire second tier of Lotus units: to wit, they are the Diseased One, who has knowingly infected himself with plague and coughs it onto enemies with the help of a respirator, the Unclean One, whose body produces toxic mucus that he flings with a lacrosse stick, and the Infested One, who attacks by throwing fistfuls of maggots that he pulls from his bloated, rotting body.
 * That One Level: Serpentholm. You have to fight both the Lotus and Wolf Clans, and finding a suitable location for a base is not easy.
 * To be fair, it's quite easy to set up a base at the central rice field and peasants gathering water from the river can be easily defended. Plus, the Lotus and Wolf Clans are also against each other.
 * The second Serpentholm stage is even more notable for being frustratingly Nintendo Hard. For starters, your starting place in inconveniently placed between flanks of 2 enemy bases on both sides, and the water source is far from your base. As you fend off the oncoming enemies, chances are you are still recovering your troops when the other clan's allied troops come charging in to raze your camp.
