C-Dogs made changes and improvements on the original Cyberdogs game mechanics. The single- player/cooperative gameplay is separated into campaigns, each comprising many missions. Usually, each level involves the player(s) killing enemies (while avoiding harming civilians and teammates) using a variety of pre-selected weapons; collecting keys to unlock special rooms; and picking up required items to fulfill the mission objectives. The "dog fight" gameplay is the typical deathmatch: players attempt to kill each other for points, in order to gain victory.

"Attracting the disaffected weakens the enemy and strengthens the state; employing subterfuge and psychological techniques allows manipulation of the enemy and hastens its demise. The ruler must visibly cultivate his Virtue (德) and embrace government policies that will allow the state to compete for the minds and hearts of the people; the state will thus gain victory without engaging in battle." This strategy teaches commanders to achieve victory via benevolence and wit, preferably without actually fighting. It teaches commanders to outwit opponents through diplomacy and manipulation.

Players can also place hits on suspects to kill them, place Alibis on suspects, and some Twilight cards allow players to move around the leads on suspects, messing up an opponent's strategy. In addition, leads are constantly being moved around the board, forcing players to travel between Earth and the Moon and adjusting priorities and strategies. Because there are three separate mechanisms to gain Victory Points: resolving the murder, Plot Cards, and the Conspiracy Puzzle, it may be difficult for players to assess their relative standing at any point during the game. The game presents certain limitations which may frustrate new players.

In the Metamorphoses Ovid continually stresses Medea's use of incantation and magic and her ability to create and destroy. In this vein it seems as though she feels responsible for creating a relationship with Jason and feels as though she must save him. Medea's continual return to incantation and the emphasis on language shows how she is able to use her power to create her own story. Where as in other texts, Medea is consistently able to outwit her opponents and gain victory through rhetoric, the Medea that is shown in the Metamorphosesis overtaken by emotion and cannot seem to accurately verbalize it.

The alleged miracle of the splitting of the moon shows that God is not the moon, but has power over it. Whether or not Hubal was even associated with the moon, both Muhammad and his enemies clearly identified Hubal and Allah as different gods, their supporters fighting on opposing sides in the Battle of Badr. Ibn Hisham notes that Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, leader of the defeated anti-Islamic army, called to Hubal for support to gain victory in their next battle: The Sahih al-Bukhari, a written tradition from 9th-century compiler al-Bukhari, clearly differentiates between the worshippers of Allah, and the worshippers of Hubal, referring to the same event.

Odin was the god of war and courage, his name meant "the furious" and he was depicted as a warrior. Fricco, on the other hand, was the god for peace and physical satisfaction, and was thus depicted with a huge phallus. Each god had his own priests and people sacrificed to the gods whose help they needed: Thor was called upon in times of famine and disease, Odin was called upon to gain victory and Fricco was called upon for fertile marriages. According to Adam, the temple at Uppsala was the centre for the national worship of the gods, and every nine years a great festival was held there where the attendance of all inhabitants of the Swedish provinces was required, including Christians.

It used a series of three aircraft, each in turn directed by the pertinent ground control by radio. One aircraft would be attacking, another in flight to the battle area, while a third was being refuelled and rearmed at its base. If the first attack failed to destroy the tactical target, the aircraft in flight would be directed to continue the attack. The first aircraft would land for its own refuelling and rearming once the third had taken off. The CAS tactics developed and refined by the British during the campaign in North Africa served as the basis for the Allied system used to subsequently gain victory in the air over Germany in 1944 and devastate its cities and industries.

Kiri-otoshi, which translates simply as "cutting down", is still the defining technique, like that of its parent style. Characteristically, practitioners often feel that they have the ability to strike freely due to their technique of cutting down the centre-line during an opponent's cut in order to displace their attacker's sword and gain victory. The style adheres to a philosophy articulated in the phrase "itto sunawachi banto" or "one sword gives rise to ten thousand swords," meaning that a thorough understanding of the fundamental technique of cutting will lead one to understand the myriad variations. Although formally established as a system for unarmoured fighting, the techniques maintained an awareness of the demands and tactics of armoured fighting, making the techniques adaptable to such circumstances.

The festival is commemorated to mark the historical event that happened in the lives of the Ashanti Kingdom during the reign of Otumfuo Osei Tutu I. Oral tradition among the people of Kumawu has been that the Gyamans who were the overloads of the Ashantis kept on harassing them, forcefully taking their lands, farms, wives and other properties. As a result, the first Ashanti King, Otumfuo Osei Tutu I made a giant effort in uniting the seven Akan clans to fight for their freedom from the Gyamans. After a spiritual inquiry from the Akan deities and ancestors by the then spiritual leader and counsellor for Otumfuo Osei Tutu I, Okomfo Anokye, it was revealed that the Ashantis could gain victory over the Gyamans only after one of the chiefs sacrifice his life. Out of great patriotism and courage, Nana Tweneboa Kodua I willingly stood up and told the Ashanti king that he was prepared to die to aid the newly formed Ashanti kingdom to gain their independence from the Gyamans.
