* FakeBalance: The game's TacticalRockPaperScissors is rather unbalanced in practice. Line Infantry make up an overwhelming majority of the enemy forces while Light Cavalry are rarely ever seen. This has the effect of making the player's Heavy Cavalry units [[TierInducedScrappy much greater liabilities than they are likely intended to be]], as they are ineffective against Line Infantry and have few opportunities to make use of their advantage against Light Cavalry. Conversely, it turns Light Infantry into borderline [[GameBreaker Game Breakers]], as they are effective against Line Infantry and weak against Light Cavalry.
* FragileSpeedsters: Light Infantry units have high speed and movement, but the low health and defense. Thankfully, their agility makes them excellent dodge tanks, to the point that they border on being [[GameBreaker Game Breakers]].
* GameFavoredGender: Along with there being slightly more playable female units than male, the only male in the [[GameBreaker Game-Breaking]] Light Infantry class is the near-useless CrutchCharacter d'Eon, and there are ''no'' males in the very useful Military Band class, giving the women a serious edge over the men overall. Interestingly, the only gendered passive ability in the game buffs male characters (Dutheil's, which gives all male units adjacent to him at the beginning of a turn an additional point in movement), possibly in an attempt to remedy this disparity.
