''[[Red Alert 3: Paradox]]'' has a lot of [[Fan Fiction]] and [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Fan Factions]], out of which the most important (and most promising as in ''"most-likely-to-ever-be-implemented"'') ones are sorted in by a group dubbed ''"Echoes Productions"''. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as the total number of factions [[Up to Eleven|is brought up to fourteen]] (in a game with originally only three), and Earth is made even more of a [[Crapsack World]] than before.
The [[Expanded Universe]] has its own Wiki [https://web.archive.org/web/20131031012343/http://cncfanwiki.wikkii.com/wiki/Main_Page here] and a character sheet (under construction) [[Red Alert 3: Paradox Expanded Universe/Characters|here.]]
There is also a number of
{{tropelist}}
* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: Oh boy, where to START?
** The African Emirates fire mutated chickens and razor-sharp diamond dust.
Line 27:
* [[Earth Is a Battlefield]]: Oh boy, is it ever...
* [[Punk Punk]]: While not as all-present as in Paradox, the Expanded Universe has a few:
** Technocratic Combine - [[
** Industrial Guild - [[Steampunk]]: Heavily industrialized factory-cities,
Line 39:
* [[City of Gold]]: Diamonds are an extremely plentiful material for the Emirates. Their cities do have gold and platinum as well, though.
* [[Crystal Spires and Togas]]: Averted, due to the fact the Emirates isn't quite advanced enough to pull this off yet. Their aesthetic is still too bulky, but it's heading in this direction.
* [[
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: The Emmissary wields dual ramjet pistols.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: The War Derricks. Especially the Anansi War Derrick.
Line 47:
* [[More Dakka]]: Pretty much the idea with the Volley-based weapons. Somewhat overlaps with [[Gatling Good]] as well.
* [[Psycho Serum]]: When Emirates mutagens on animals fail to work properly, it acts like this. Particularly with the uberchickens for the Akachi Bomber.
* [[Well
Line 53:
Composed of an intercontinental coalition of people from all three continents of the Americas, the Technocratic Combine seeks to create a "Technological Utopia" based on the tenets of technocracy and meritocracy. They evoke the retrofuturism of the Interbellum era combined with cheesy and Zeerusty biopunk, with cyclotron guns, bionic augmentations, eugenic engineering, and highly streamlined Art Deco buildings and vehicles, as well as many darker fields deemed 'Mad Science'. They prefer to use World War 1 trench tactics and morale-crippling warfare, which stands in great contrast to their literally Golden Age appearance.
* [[Alluring Anglerfish]]: Not an actual anglerfish, but in fact a fifty-foot long viperfish. Yes, it can be commanded as a regular unit.
* [[Big Creepy
* [[Bio Augmentation]]
* Biopunk/Dieselpunk: The Combine mixes both of the two, focusing on Diesel Deco crossed with straight up Biopunk in particular.
Line 59:
* [[Evil Overlord List]]: They read it.
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]: Bat bombs, pidgeon missiles, mole mines, head-sized wasps, GIANT ANTS, enraged chimpanzees...noting a pattern?
* [[For Science!]]: '''[[Captain Obvious|DUH!]]'''
* [[
* [[Go
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Subverted AND Double Subverted. Their stuff's crazy enough to be Mad Science, and yet they use it to solve everything from civilian benefit to helping the enviroment to developing the newest highly-lethal weaponry.
* [[Mother Nature, Father Science]]: Averted. Animals, plants, and other living organisms figure heavily in their warfare, and many of their developments are rooted in biomimetics.
* [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup]]: Averted heavily. Their tendancy to mass produce things means they have blueprints of everything. All their weapons, armor, and vehicles actually have their blueprint codes in their official names.
* [[Rodents of Unusual Size]]: Combine Lab Rats tend to become pretty big.
* [[Sky Pirates]]
Line 90:
* [[BFG]]: The Nemo Cannon.
* [[Cool Plane]]: The Kabulla is an interceptor BLIMP.
* [[Elegant Weapon for
* [[Everything Is Better With Spinning]]: The Kabulla.
* [[Good Old Ways]]: Their core philosophy.
* [[Guns Are Worthless]]: Not always but comes up none the less.
* [[High
* [[Napoleonic Wars]]: How fighting with the Guild feels like.
* [[Ramming Always Works]]: The Kabulla occasionally rams aerial enemies out of the way.
Line 120:
* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]: The Southern Contingent is comprised of Australia... and New Zealand.
* [[New Old West]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Since the Contingent see enriched Uranium as useless, the stuff they don't bury is sold to ''"American research colleges"'', who have a great interest in the stuff. Three guesses who they are.
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: However, said research colleges find depleted Uranium useless, and so when they produce it they send it to Australia to get rid of it...
* [[Ramming Always Works]]: The Sawfish, which [[Made of Explodium|explodes like a shotgun when striking something]].
* [[Roboteching]]: The Contingent uses gravity manipulation to fire CANNONBALLS this way.
* [[Selective Gravity]]: One of the advantages of controlling gravity. The Contingent use this to the point that their command centers, certain high-level military equipment and even a [[Kill Sat]] equivalent in the upper atmosphere.
* [[Shiny
* [[Shiny New Australia]]: Subverted. While the Southern Contingent was formerly part of the Allies and is apparenty under Talon control, they are VERY unwilling to fall into the hands of anyone else.
* [[Space Western]]: Apart from the ''"space"'' part. They are working on it though.
