History VideoGame / Centaura

** With the Cetan Theater Veteran badge, you can use some of Corvun/Cetan (only weapons of free classes) weapons in all maps, meaning that a Corvun can use a Cetan lever action and a Cetan can use a Corvun bolt action, although this trope is {{subverted|trope}} gameplay wise as they're not necessarily better than each other (they're the same stats wise). This also has a slight gameplay use at least with Double Barrels and [=SMGs=] as the former can be used to deadly effect in the close quarters nature of Capri Valley and Ascendens Forest.

* NotActuallyCosmeticAward: The Cetan Theater Veteran Badge. While the Cetan & Corvun rifles for all players in any nation have no real benefit in maps before the late Columban campaigns because the stats are the same, they (along with Vegan, Grusan, Aquilan, and Antarean bolt actions from other badges) could be an alternative to semi auto rifles since the latter have more bullet dispersion and do not instantly kill upon headshots.
** This is the case with the Double Barreled shotgun, as it can be very effective in all maps but particularly Ascendens Forest and Capri Valley due to their close quarters nature. It also applies to [=SMGs=] in Blackton as they're good in close quarters map which Blackton encourages a lot.

''Centaura'' is a [[VideoGame/Battlefield1 Battlefield 1]] inspired game on Platform/{{Roblox}} created by [=ClassicMasterNoob=], originally created on February 5th, 2022 as a game called ''Gridlock''. It was first made as a simple multiplayer game with only one map and two teams. However, it was renamed and greatly expanded upon by Classic and is now a fully-fleshed out game that includes improved uniforms, new and improved maps, new features, new nations, new weapons, etc. While the entire game as a whole is not complete, it is actively being worked on, with new nations, weapons, maps, etc expected in the future.

* AMillionIsAStatistic: When a map is finished, the amount of players killed in the map is listed in the end screen.

* ArchaicWeaponForAnAdvancedAge: Compared to the Corvun T05 and the Antarean E/VIII bolt action rifles, the Cetans use the M1889 LA (''lever action'') rifle when they first fight the Corvuns in 1908. For balance reasons, it has the exact same stats as both bolt-action rifles so there are only visual differences.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures:
** If you hate the permanent deafness feature from artillery shells, then you can turn it off in the settings.
** Due to the dynamite's blast radius, you cannot kill teammates with the dynamite, allowing you to be more carefree when using it in close quarters.

* CarryABigStick: All classes except the Flame Trooper, Officer, and Sweeper carry a club which, due to the fact that all melee weapons instantly kill players, can easily clean up enemies in close quarters, has [[Main/SplashDamage splash damage]], allows you to clear out trenches, and perform sneak attacks effectively.

* CountingBullets: {{Zigzagged|trope}}. While its obviously not [[Main/BottomlessMagazines Bottomless Magazines]] because you have to reload after firing a certain amount of shots, the guns in ''Centaura'' have infinite ammo, likely because you can die so quickly that you can't really enforce limited ammo.

* DeadlyGas: The map Kelson Village is covered with chlorine gas that not only serve as a lore piece but also have a gameplay purpose as it hides enemies quite well and can lead into ambushes or sneak attacks. Thankfully, all players have gas masks, so the gas itself is generally not any threat to the players. However, if a player's health is below 50, the gas will poison the player until they're healed by a Medic or die from it.

* EasterEgg:
** In one of the dugouts in Roland's Prairie, a jar of [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/RickAndMortyS3E3PickleRick Pickle Rick]] can be found.

* FireBreathingWeapon: The Flame Trooper class is naturally equipped with the flamethrower, a devastating weapon that can easily clear out hordes of enemies. However, it has a slight delay when it fires and has a cooldown after firing. Flamethrower tanks are also planned to be added into Talona for Antares.
* FictionalCountry: Quite a lot in Forma, the world of Centaura and Dead Ahead. They're listed in the character page.
* GasMaskMooks: In the map Kelson Village, a map engulfed with Chlorine gas that the Corvuns had filled to resolve the stalemate in 1909 and 1910, Corvuns and Cetans both wear unique looking gas masks to protect themselves from the gas. [[Main/DevelopersForesight It even muffles the normal voice lines]] soldiers shout out too.

* HandCannon: All officers before the late Columban campaign carry revolvers that are essentially just [[Main/RevolversAreJustBetter superior rifles]], although the ones in the Southern Corvus War do not have speed loaders and so are worse than the rifle in reloading.

* InspiredBy: [[VideoGame/Battlefield1 Battlefield 1]]. Indeed, ''Centaura'' does focus on the atmosphere and psychological aspects of war like Battlefield 1 and also has voice lines from [=BF1=].

* NoSell: Armored vehicles and tanks are completely immune to bullets and weak explosions like mortar shells and grenades, making them extremely effective at anti-personnel if there are no soldiers with dynamites, tripwire bombs, flamethrowers, or anti-tank rifles.

* PinnedDown: There will be multiple areas in maps that can result in you being pinned down, such as point B of Battery Q, where armored vehicles from either Cetus or Corvus can get you pinned down with their AI-controlled machine guns. There is also a slight shake whenever a bullet hits near you or if a grenade explodes near you but does not kill you, and the Assault class is quite decent at suppressing, so this element is somewhat embraced in ''Centaura''.

* SmokeOut: Smoke Grenades can be bought in the equipment store for 100 points and do exactly what you expect it to do.

** In the Kelson Village loading screen, a caption reads out "Do you smell that? It reeks of pepper". In real life, chlorine gas is said to have a strong smell of peppers and pineapples. The same loading screen also mentions that the chlorine gas was used in the Corvun cities for sanitation, which is [[Main/TruthInTelevision Truth In Television]] as chlorine can be used to kill bacteria and viruses and importantly disinfect water.

* ShellShockSilence: If an artillery shell explodes near you, you will receive temporary deafness that is usually more of an annoyance than an actual threat. However, this will sometimes result in ''permanent'' deafness that will last until you die, which is much more severe and dangerous as sound is important to surviving in a round. You can turn this off in the settings (Tinnitus on and off) if you'd like however.
* StandardFPSGuns: Rifles, [=SMGs=], flame throwers, shotguns, etc. Mostly standard guns in FPS games, especially in a [=WW1=]-[=WW2=] type game like ''Centaura''.

* TheEnemyWeaponsAreBetter: In the lore, it is said that many Cetan soldiers dropped their unreliable M1889 LA's for the more reliable and accurate Corvun T05 rifles from dead Corvun soldiers.

* TheSquadette: Starting from the Antarean campaign into Grusa, female Antarean soldiers will appear alongside male ones, as chronologically Antares started to allow women to join the Military for all branches by this point.
* UrbanWarfare: Blackton and Talona are two obvious examples of this, taking place in a mining town and a 1900s style city respectively. This also counts for Whitemouth Estuary's town, with it being a point Antares has to defend and Cetus has to take in the first phase, although most of the map is not based around the town.

* UnexpectedlyRealisticGameplay: Even thought it is a Roblox game by and large, there are a lot of things in the game that are actually realistic or sort of realistic. While some may point out obvious things like headshots instantly killing, grenades being effective in trenches, clubs being effective in trenches, etc, teamwork and communication is actually quite important in this game like in real life, as you're certainly not advancing successful if the team cannot. Artillery is also very effective, deadly, and scary like in actual war and you can even become deaf from explosives.

* AntiInfantry: Tanks and armored vehicles are a major obstacle for players as they cannot damage or destroy them with conventional bullets, grenades, and mortar shells, forcing them to use buy points on things like dynamites and tripwire bombs.

* AsymmetricMultiplayer: Due to the amount of classes and maps, the play style will differ greatly, even for one class as it will not be the same experience in all maps. Riflemen are vast and have unlimited slots, so most people will play as them, and they're adept at sniping and essentially being the main line. Assault players [=SMGs=] are devastating at close quarters maps like Ascendens Forest and Capri Valley, etc.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The Anti-Tank class in Roland's Prairie. While it can be used to destroy Antarean tanks, a big nuisance for Aquilan players, these tanks respawn after a little while anyway, which is compounded by the amount of shots it takes for tanks to be destroyed (9 at minimum and more than a dozen usually!) Most players just use it for anti-infantry where they're ironically and arguably better at that role than being anti-tank weapons.

* PlayerMooks: Players spawn as nameless soldiers and officers who get replaced by other nameless soldiers and officers if they die.
* PretextForWar: Zigzagged. While Corvus did just straight up invade Cetus without a declaration of war or any other warning, their reasoning for attacking is due to the fact that the Cetans had previously annexed Southern Corvus forcibly, an action that ruined the lives of many Corvuns living in the south and turned the southern part of Corvus into a lawless and army-controlled area for decades.
