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.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Sparkly With Jewelry]]: Diamonds are not only pretty to look at, this faction generates electrical power with diamonds and lasers.
* [[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 -Intentioned Extremist]]: The Emirates increasingly becomes this as their hatred for the Syndicate goes out of control.
 
 
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!]]'''
* [[Gaias Vengeance]]: They use more animals and other living organisms in their forces than any other faction.
* [[Go Karting With Bowser]]: Night Truces
* [[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 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 -Looking Spaceships]]: Averted, as with the [[Space Western]] style.
* [[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.
