I Sacred I noticed that there was a burned out helicopter still smoking. this is a clear reference to the creator various modern war games. Has anyone else noticed this and other easter eggs in the games ?

That crashed helicopter belongs to the Dwarf. It's the starting place of that character because he crash-landed while flying over Ancaria. But yeah there's lots of easter eggs in this game, these devs loved their jokes and references.
