Line 18:
** The [[Big Bad]]'s motivation for releasing the [[Sealed Evil in a Can]] in the first game.
** Also {{spoiler|Arkantos}} at the end of the campaign.
** A more minor example, but a Pharoah can be transformed into the powerful Son of Osiris if you're playing as the Egyptians.
* [[A Kind of One]]: Many unique creatures from mythology became standard unit types that you can train any number of.
* [[Altum Videtur]]: It's impressive how they make scientific names for myth units without resorting to [[Canis Latinicus]].
Line 107 ⟶ 108:
* [[Hook Hand]]: Kamos. To be specific, a simple hook isn't badass enough for a [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|minotaur pirate]], so he use a whole khopesh blade.
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: The first battle against the Titan Prometheus during the campaign.
* [[Historical In-Joke]]: In-verse, the campaigns tend to have the characters involved in a number of events in mythology such as Trojan War.
* [[I Surrender, Suckers]]: Loki and Gargarensis order to Arkantos' forces to surrender in exchange for a quick death. Cue Ajax impaling the herald with a ballista dart and shouting "We surrender! Come a little closer!"
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Many within the soundtrack. Names like "Meatier Shower" and "Of Norse Not !" come to mind. [[Don't Explain the Joke|If you couldn't guess, they are the theme that play when you use the Meteor Shower power (and a few cheats that involve an explosive chicken meteor shower at times) and the Norse theme, respectively.]] Also, a few of the titles like "Eat Your Potatoes"
Line 145 ⟶ 147:
* [[Purple Is the New Black]]: In the cinematics, the "evil smokes" are usually purple and black; Kronos has purple-black smoke oozing from his body, his shapeshifting servant arrives with a purple-black smoke, and transforms from Krios to his demonic self in a puff of purple and black energies.
* [[Rage Against the Heavens]]: The [[Big Bad]] does this, in order to [[Sealed Evil in a Can|free]] [[God of Evil|Kronos]]. It's up to the heroes to stop him. Also, when {{spoiler|Kastor goes to Mount Olympus and proceeds to destroy it with Atlantean armies and Myth Units from all cultures.}}
* [[Redshirt Army]]: Unless it's varied and numerous enough, a non-myth army can become this against mythic units if you're not careful.
* [[Reinventing the Wheel]]: You have to keep redeveloping technologies. Who cares if you've already "researched" the Ax 20 times before, do it again in this level!
* [[Regional Riff]]: When you started a game you heard something vaguely appropriate to the nation you chose play.
