!! Tropes.
[[foldercontrol]]
* AbsoluteXenophobe: Races like the Yaanari or the Thadrakos see other alien races to be only useful as slave labour. The Dyss and the Empire do not even tolerate the existance of other races, purging them from any new planet they conquer.
* ActionGirl: In "Second Chance", Satayesh Ibrahim and Shu Lin are both experienced and respected admirals who easily qualify for this trope.
* AfterTheEnd: The story of "Second Chance" takes place after humanity flees from Earth to avoid being annihilated by an incoming meteorite. Only a few million manage to go through the strange gate in Istanbul before the end and reach a new, unknwon world.
* AlternateHistory: His Let's Play of the "Crownless Eagle" sees Poland not only surviving the 18th century, but also turning from a Monarchy to a powerful Republic. More than that, this "First Republic" fights and conquers many of its neighbours, including Prussia, Russia and Austria.
* AMillionIsAStatistic: Planet invasions and defences in "Second Chance" see tens of millions of soldiers fighting and dying in little more than months, if not weeks.
* BayonetYa: Line troops from the Commonwealth in "Crownless Eagle" use this tactic quite often, especially in sieges.
* BigEater: The Biluan drones seek to consume all living beings unlucky enough to stand in their path.
* {{Brainwashed}}: The Zracon priesthood uses this to "convert" other races, turning them into fanatical believers of their faith.
* CloneArmy: As technology advances and battles become bloodier and bloodier, the Commonwealth begins to create whole clone armies to fight in their wars.
* HonorBeforeReason: Quite often averted, especially in "Second Chance" where the whole Commonwealth is based on the ideal of reason over personal feelings.
* ImAHumanitarian: The Thadrakos are a good example of this.
* MadeOfIron: During the Siege of Stockholm, cavalry general Sebastian Stolarski is hit by a bullet and thought dead. Miraculously, and thanks in no small part to the aid of a Swedish doctor, he survives and continues the war with Sweden as the only commander still alive after the bloody battle.
* LongevityTreatment: Humans in "Second Chance" easily live beyond the one-hundred-year mark.
*RisingEmpire: The Commonwealth in the "Crownless Eagle" and the remains of humanity in "Second Chance" start as weak or small, yet end up growing into nearly unstoppable powerhouses as more time goes on.
* TheDreaded: In "Second Chance", the Biluan Mind and the mindless hordes of drones it controls can be seen as this.
* WarIsHell: Both in his "Crownless Eagle" and "Second Chance".
