Trivia
- It seems Lt. Hammerman is obsessed with Statues and Power Stones because of their mystical powers.
- Lt. Hammerman's bases drop 5 Victory Points
when destroyed. The amount never changes. - After you defeat one of his bases, various freed villages around your Archipelago will put on a fireworks show. Normally when you reclaim a village, only the village that you freed will shoot fireworks.
- According to the Navy Military Ranks List, 'Lieutenant' is the 9th highest rank you can get in the navy. It seems that Lt. Hammerman is in need of a promotion, considering that he appears to be the lower ranked one of the two Blackguard officers in the game (lower than Colonel Gearheart; Dr. T doesn't appear to carry a military rank). He does, however, refer to the High Command that he will have to report to after the player destroys his level 45 and 60 bases.
- Despite being a higher level, Lt. Hammerman's Levels 55 and 60 bases give less loot than his Level 50 one.
- Although the quote after the player destroys his level 60 base is referring to the Hammerman Strikes Back event, almost all players have already played the Hammerman Strikes Back event (available at HQ level 15) before destroying his level 60 base (available at HQ level 20).
- Although Lt. Hammerman's Headquarters appears to have machine gun slits, they do not ever attack troops.
- There's an achievement which is called Payback that gives a total of 175 diamonds upon destroying all of his ten bases on the Archipelago.
