Line 8:
* [[Amazon Brigade]]:
** Mexico's more powerful musketeer units are all female.
** The Chinese can
**The Aymara native units are depicted as female mounted boleadoras.
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: The mod aims to downplay this. Although some still have access to archaic units in earlier ages, each faction is more synchronized in their units and aesthetics to match the timeframe being covered (most notably with the Europeans and Chinese), with a greater emphasis on the 18th-19th Centuries.
Line 24:
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: The Latin American nations in general, as many of them are "mestizo" or mixed-race in one way or another, as in real life.
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: Very much represented. The Canadians come in Dominion ("New England") and Quebecois ("New France") flavors, depending on how you age them up. In an added touch, their structures even come with ''free maple trees''.
* [[Cannon Fodder]]:
** Mexico's Insurgentes are explicitly described as such, serving as much more expendable infantry compared to their more elite female units.
** Spontooners, which are available to the Anglo nations are decidedly weaker than other polearm/pike units and whose sole purpose is to hold back other melee units while their musketeers and riflemen prepare to open fire.
** Paraguay's Primero de Linea ("First in Line") infantry, are little more than cheap recruits in half a uniform and a spear.
* [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe]]: Religion takes up a role similar to earlier ''[[Age of Empires]]'' games. A priest/imam/monk could boost morale, heal and ''condemn people to death with faith''. This is averted though should you take up no religion at all.
* [[Cosmetically Different Sides]]: Goes even further than the base game, as each individual nation and wider cultural group is made to have more unique units, distinct gameplay mechanics and even more varied aesthetics.
