Authority Equals Asskicking has been renamed. Also commented out a Zero Context Example.


* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Your ACU is slow-moving but outclasses most starting units and, once fully upgraded, can even give some of the Experimentals a run for their money.

* TActicalSuperweaponUnit: The game has what ammounts to the UpdatedReRelease of many of the previous game's super units, and more besides. They require Experimental Gantry structures to deploy from as well. The game features the option to launch them at 50% build capacity (which the game refers to as "launching half-baked") as an emergency measure, in which case, they're riddled with problems and often stall.

** UEF:
*** The ''King Kryptor'' is a giant robot with battleship turrets for {{Shoulder Cannon}}s and fireball-launcher hands.
*** The ''Fat Man'' returns as a pure land battleship, without the bubble shields and factory.
*** The ''Terror'' is a KingMook version of their regular gunship.
*** The ''Mega Fortress'' is an AirborneAircraftCarrier with its own compliment of weaponry-most of them pointed at the ground, relying on its fighter compliment to tackle other air threats.
*** The ''Atantis'' returns almost unchanged (besides swapping out AA capacity for a bigger deck gun), and is only slightly more expensive then their next most powerful battleship
** Cybran:
*** The ''Megalith'' returns with bigger guns and without its integrated factory and DropPod dispenser.
*** The ''Cybranosaurus Rex'' can only be called a "[[ArmoredDragon Dragon]] in PoweredArmor."
*** The ''Soul Ripper'' returns unchanged.
*** The ''Kraken'' is a submarine battleship made in imitation of, what else, a giant squid, with a cannon on each tentacle.
*** The ''Monkey Lord'' also returns, but is behind a DLC paywall.
** Aeon (most units are named in the Seraphim ConLang from the first game's ExpansionPack):
*** The ''Galactic Collossus'' returns unchanged.
*** The Czar's little brother, the ''Darkenoid'' loses its aircraft capacity, but retains the underside quantum laser array.
*** The ''Urchinow'' is a superheavy tank referred to as an "Assault Block," which has three big cannons and multiple light guns.
*** The ''Willfindja'' is a huge HoverTank with
all along.]]its weaponry mounted on twenty or so {{Attack Drone}}s.
*** The ''Sooprizer'' is a large gunship intended for surgical strikes to compliment the ''Darkenoid.''

* MightyGlacier: Several experimental units are huge, pack a lot of fire power, but are real slow in traveling across the map. The UEF have the King Kriptor, and Fatboy. The Illuminate have their Urchinow, Airnomo, and Universal Colossus. The Cybrans have the Megalith, Cybersaurus Rex, and Monkeylord.

* HoverTank: The majority of the Illuminates land units are hover units, allowing them to traverse across water with ease. This also means that they don't need to create naval units like the other two factions.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: At the end of the second campaign, Thalia Kael realizes that [[spoiler: Gauge tricked her into a lot of terrorist acts, by attacking a Cybran military convoy on a humanitarian supply run, releasing the Guardians who are more than just the worst criminals of the Illuminate and UEF, and destroying the Illuminate government research facility and in the end, allow Gauge obtain a lot of things. Maddox also unfortunately destroyed the holographic shell guarding the entrance to the Shiva terraformer, which Gauge is able to reach easily as a result.]]

** Both Maddox and Thalia participate in destabilizing the alliance, the latter more than the former. [[spoiler:They face consequences for this; Maddox just gets an honorable discharge, since he broke ranks as soon as the morally-questionable orders came in. Thalia stuck with it for far longer, and is arrested as a result.]]
** Political divisions still exist among the newly reunified humans following the events of ''Forged Alliance'', as the scars of a thousand year long ForeverWar aren't going to heal within one generation. One major problem is that a large portion of the Aeon were wiped out after siding with the Seraphim, leaving Illuminate citizens a minority in the Coalition. Compounding matters is the UEF has come to dominate Coalition politics both due to their majority population and because they tend to vote however UEF leaders tell them to, having lived for almost a thousand years under a highly regimented military junta.
*** The really ugly side of this shows up during the UEF campaign, as Maddox's wife expresses concerns about attacks against Illuminate citizens, and the moment hostilities break out, all of the Cybran officers on Altair II are immediately arrested and anyone of Illuminate descent end up being attacked later on.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Gauge is a monster, but he's so fun to listen to!



* LaughablyEvil: Gauge, the main antagonist, quotes classical literature and other famous sources and is generally entertaining to listen to.



%%* MightyGlacier: The biggest experimentals are slow enough that they usually need to be paired with another experimental in the form of a transport or teleporter to be useful in an assault.



* YouMonster: Gauge is accused of this after nuking a place. He disagrees and demonstrates something ''really'' monstrous. Ten nukes!

During the first mission of the UEF campaign, Daxil outright mentions that the Cybran officers were arrested.


* GlassCannon: Surprisingly, the assault bots fall under this trope, despite being amongst the toughest units in the previous game. They can still dish out significant damage, though.

The Infinity War Battle Pack DLC also adds the Illuminate Shotja Sniper Bot, which does a lot of initial shot damage but cannot take a hit.



* IncrediblyLamePun: While not quite punny, the names of a fair number of Illuminate units are downright painful when said out loud. Some of the worst offenders are the Airnomo (Air no more), a walking AA battery, the Willfindja (We'll find ya), a massive floating tank that specializes in dispatching submarines, and the Fistoosh (the sound a missile launch makes), a mobile missile launcher.
