Trivia

• The TDF is based off the Republic of Korea, shortly known as South Korea, whose military forces are the Republic of Korea Armed Forces.
  • Many units of this East Asian faction speak in Korean accent.
  • With the popularity of StarCraft and other RTS titles that are released in South Korea, the TDF is also inspired by the Terrans from the StarCraft series, Allies from the Command & Conquer: Red Alert universe, and the Task Force Talon from Act of War, especially for its gameplay.
