Line 13:
* [[Animesque]]
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: Count Carlyle. Ludmilla has a noble bearing as well.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: One NPC complains about Carlyle:
{{quote| "Carlyle this! Carlyle that! I can't believe this second-rate bootlicker has become so important. He's a cheat! And a swindler! And a thief! [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Plus he parks his horse all over the place.]]" }}
* [[Artifact of Doom]]: the Blade of Binding
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Godric's name in the tournament is "Sir Ignatius Thunderblade", which was made up on the spot. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Varkas who goes "Ignatius Thunderblade?", so Godric tells him to just roll with it
** And again when you confront Carlyle, who says "I'll advise the emperor to hang you for the insult, Sir... whatever your ridiculous name is."
* [[Ax Crazy]]: One of your bounties in the Haven Campaign is like this. Considering he [[Shout -Out|greets you]] with "...[[Deliverance|YOU GOT A PRETTY MOUTH]]!"
* [[Bag of Spilling]]: Artifacts don't carry over to the final part of the campaign
** In the Xbox 360 version, they do.
Line 40:
* [[Emo Teen]]: Aidan.
* [[Everyone Went to School Together]]: Close to it, anyway; the main characters are all the sons and daughters of heroes of various lands.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Worse Withwith Bears]]: One of the basic Sylvan units.
* [[Evil Chancellor]]: Carlyle, who's also a big [[Jerkass]].
* [[Evil Hand]]: Aidan.
Line 57:
** A lot of the bounties you fight are like this too; since they don't get much introduction or dialogue, they end up being jokes more than not.
* [[Inevitable Tournament]]: Godric enters one in disguise to gain an audience with the Emperor to settle things.
* [[ItsIt's All Upstairs From Here]]: Nadia's chapter starts at the base of a tower and ends at the top.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: The "western anime" art style, reminiscent of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', suits the generally sillier tone of the game well.
* [[Mad ScientistsScientist's Beautiful Daughter]]: {{spoiler|Nadia, though her father was studious before his [[Face Heel Turn]], [[Epileptic Trees|if it's really him at all]], and she was already on the side of good.}}
* [[Our Elves Are Better]]: Only Sylvan Wood Elves appear in this game.
** They have regenerating walls and several useful unit abilities, Anwen's sniper shot spell is a [[Disc One Nuke]], and all their units charge faster than the other factions' equivalents, though as a rule they're also considerably more fragile.
* [[One -Winged Angel]]: Lord Bloodcrown. Count Carlyle might count as well, but he does it by accident and you don't fight him directly beforehand.
* [[Peek -a -Bangs]]: Fiona
* [[Precious Puppies]]: Varkas always has his puppy, Rufus, over his shoulder.
* [[Pyromaniac]]: When the volcano erupts in Sheogh, one demon (named [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Pyro]]) seems pretty happy about it, and even though he gets hit by a flaming rock about five seconds after you meet him, he decides it was worth it as he crumbles into a pile of ashes.
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Jezebeth having dated practically everyone you fight in the Sheogh campaign (including Azexes) is something of a [[Running Gag]].
* [[Record Needle Scratch]]: When you first enter the pub in the Inferno campaign. Then everything goes back to normal in an instant.
* [[Same Character but Different]]: Markhal and Findan act quite different from their later appearances.
* [[Shout -Out]]: In addition to the [[Ax Crazy]] bounty above, one in the Sylvan campaign is a man offering to sell you torches, to which Anwen and Findan respond as follows:
{{quote| '''Anwen:''' Remember Sparky, only YOU can prevent forest fires ... and in this case, the "YOU" means US ...<br />
'''Findan:'''... and the "prevent forest fires" means KICKING YOUR BUTT! }}
Line 75:
* [[SNK Boss]]: Lord Bloodcrown has double the hit points of any other boss in the game, attacks solely in devastating charged attacks AND you're forced to fight him with Nadia, who is likely to not even at the [[Level Cap]] when you face him.
* [[Standard Fantasy Setting]]: Slightly more so than the other games, thanks to the art style.
* [[Teacher -Student Romance]]: It's fairly obvious Cyrus cares about Nadia, his teacher's daughter.
* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]: Godric encounters this early on in the shape of a stealth segment.
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: It was released on the [[PSPlay Station 3]] Network and Xbox Live for download in April 2011 with updated graphics and balancing. Later in 2012, it was released on Steam.
* [[Use Your Head]]: The skeletons attack with their heads, yanking them off and bashing the enemy with it.
* [[We Have Reserves]]: In most cases calling for reinforcements costs one "move"; however, the Haven faction's King's Crown Artifact removes this cost. Elite and Champion units come in limited numbers however, unlike the core units, and they're usually expensive as well.
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: Poor Jezebeth. She seemed to love Aidan but is never seen past his campaign. {{spoiler|Aidan's hatred of demons deepening makes it more bleak.}}
** This applies to Varkas as well. He's never mentioned after Godric's campaign.
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]] (if you played [[Heroes of Might and Magic]] V, most of it won't surprise you)
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Aidan.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Nadia, her mother, and Cyrus all have blue hair for no explained reason. {{spoiler|Considering that the [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]] states that Cyrus and Nadia married and had Zehir, who has black hair, either hair dye was popular back then or Zehir dyes his hair black.}}
