Fall From Heaven: Difference between revisions

You can get it [http://kael.civfanatics.net/ here]. A standalone sequel was in the works, but has now been cancelled. (see [http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=361727 here] )

* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: The Balseraph Catapult launches ''[[Everything's Better with Cows|live]]'' ''[[Drop the Cow|cows]]'', complete with sound effects and the relevant ''[[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]'' quote.

** [[Evil Versus Oblivion]]: The Infernals and Sheaim want the world to burn, while most of the other evil factions want to ''rule'' it (or else just run around plundering everything, like barbarians do).

** Even [[Dark Fantasy]] Has Standards: As a meta-example, the lore and scenarios pack a lot of dark material into the game, but at least one story ended up on the cutting room floor. Originally, the "Cavern of Trials" scenario was going to be played out by a teenage Amurite girl named Tya Kiri. {{spoiler|She goes through the trials guided by the spirit of a young boy, who she learns later is actually the soul of her unborn child who she didn't know she was pregnant with. Unfortunately, the trials put so much stress on her body that she miscarries, [[Tear Jerker|after having gotten to know and love her child]].}} According to [[Word of God|Kael]], the original story was so sad that the team re-wrote it so that another Amurite leader would take Tya's place.

* [[Evil Is Not a Toy]]: [[Enfant Terrible|Keelyn]] attempts to summon and control [[Big Bad|Hyborem, Lord of the Balors]], who is second only to [[Satan|Agares]] in the hierarchy of Hell. {{spoiler|Subverted: [[Little Miss Badass|she manages to summon and even temporarily contain him]], and when Hyobrem escapes she hunts him down with an army, [[Multiple Endings|possibly]] ending in her replacing him as master of the [[Legions of Hell]].}}

** In-game, any faction can study the Infernal Pact technology, which gives some great benefits...and summons Hyborem into the world. Hyborem and his Infernals want to see evil people die and become productive citizens of his empire.

** Such a problem, in fact, that [[Satan|Agares]] commissioned Esus, God of Deception to build a Hell for would-be escapees who didn't quite make it. In it, his [[Master of Illusion]] minions create a [[Lotus Eater Machine]] version of Erebus, and try to fool the trapped into thinking Erebus is even more of a [[World Half Empty]] then it actually is, so that they end up going back to the more honest Hells on their own. What happens to people who figure out the ruse is not explained, though [[Leliel|This Troper]] suspects they become [[Badass Bookworm|Badass Bookworms]] [[Like a Badass Out of Hell|Out Of Hell]].

** The Mercurians Angels are also like this: they were hunting daemons in hell for aeons, before you or another player summon them on Erebus.

** The Balseraph hero Loki is also a good example.

* [[The Heartless]]: The Avatar of Wrath. Born of people's hatred, fury, and despair. Since he's created on [[World Half Empty|Erebus]] during the grand finale of [[The End of the World as We Know It]], it usually takes [[Zerg Rush|a very large army to kill him]].
