Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Subjective tropes in this work:[]

  • Complete Monster: YOU. You're nuking the planet to a radioactive hellhole.
  • Fridge Horror: Sure! Let's play a fun game about nuking the world! However, the longer you play, the more likely you are to realize that the game was once deadly serious, not even 25 years ago. The soundtrack helps.
  • Hell Is That Noise: The Launch Detected Sound is appropriately sinister for the last noise you might ever hear.
    • Many of the ambient sounds in general; the choked sobbing of a woman, the ragged coughing, the distorted Lord's prayer, the cries of lost souls ...
  • The Scrappy: Whoever plays Europe, as Europe's population centers are close together (making it easier to defend) and many ballistic missile flights fly over European airspace so European anti-air often knocks down missiles that aren't even targeting it.
    • In addition, no one wants to play Europe, because with its small size enabling enemy radars and fighters to scout everything, anti-air shooting down everything in the air instead of just the missiles that are targeted on European cities, and with population centers so close together, Europe can and most likely will be overwhelmed relatively early in the game. It does not help that Europe is surrounded on three sides by water, making SLBMs devastating.
