This problem happens because the “Human” faction only have 3 human units: the peasant, footman and knight. Ironically most units are dwarfs and elfs.
I hope they add human replacement for the units just like the chaplain and hydromancer replace the Priest and Sorcerers for Kul Tiraz in the Rexxar campaign, because many factions should not be using so many dwarfs and elf units.
In the King Arthas mission they have to use many bandits models because there is not enough human models for army units.
Maybe Chaplains as some sort of Silverhand Priests, but maybe not Hydromancers. Daelin only came to Lordaeron and picked up some survivors, but not give reinforcements.
Maybe placeholders? I think the Militia Commander would look like the WC2 Paladin, a Knight with a Captain helm, and the Militia Spearman would look like a Militia with the Brigand equip, and the Militia Captain would probably be some tight leather spearman with some leather armor (like SC2 ghost)
Or the Militia Spearman be changed with Militia Crossbowman
A human with a crossbow would make sense, since we had that in the first Warcraft game. And maybe some kind of human warlock, since there do seem to be some that fight with the alliance. I would reuse the fallen priest model for this case.

Not literally Chaplain and Hydromancers, I said just like the chaplain and hydromancers replaces non-human units with a human unit.
They can change the units to whatever they seem fit. The point is to stop using so many dwarf and elf units in factions that should be mostly using humans, specially someone as racist as Garithos is.
And specially on missions like King Arthas, stop using Bandit models because there is no human models to use as army.

Well, it’s the chance to add human units instead of using the bandit models because there is no humans to use as army.
Not having a single ranged human using a crossbow is really strange. Because of this all ranged units in the Campaign turn into Spearman.
Love all this interest in the lore good to know there’s this community! And not sure if this has been answered but:
You are right that the Darkspears are jungle trolls, and not forest trolls like Zul’jin was and so had little to do with him.
But in Chronicle (vol.2 i think? Not sure) it says that following what happened during the 2nd War…joining the orcish horde, uniting the all the forest troll tribes, attacking the high elves, abandonment by the horde and his capture/torture and eventual escape…
Word spread, not only among forest trolls but ALL trolls and he was hailed as a hero of troll kind!
Although yeh it is a bit bizarre ey?
Also on a side note, would love it if they could possibly slighty change Tyrande’s lines from the beginning of the Nelf Campagin in RoC: she talks about these strange races (orcs and humans) now in Kalimdor as if shes never encountered them before…but in the War of the Ancients novels she has many significant interactions with the orc Broxigar, which she would be unlikely to forget!
Eek, don’t mention that, grr…
We should not have WoW and post TfT-RoC material retcon Warcraft III within Warcraft III.
They broke it afterwards, not before.
Sure, but it does raise problems like orcs not being recognized by Tyrande as mentioned above by someone.
And, it’s just a meh story. Time travel never was part of Warcraft and it usually ruins stories unless the main idea of those stories is that and even then proper thought has to be given to the connection of the story’s events.
