hmm, drop a zombie in the most heavily armed country on the world who has had zombie killing fantasies for 50+ years. doesn’t sound like a good plan.

I don’t think that, even if Jaina went full Mary Sue, she’d be able to take on the full might of the US military.
She’d just get blown up by a drone strike after being baited to take out a bunch of tanks.

About the topic:
My brother brainstormed this with a late well-known EU-RPer a few years ago. What if regular Earth-people would fight against Azeroth? I read many of their discussions and I’ll share a few of the points both made:
- Earth-humans will ally themselves with the Azeroth-Alliance, which would ultimately end the war for good
- Earth-humans lack actually “adaptability”, which makes them not suited for close combat or using Chi. Magic and Shamanism might be possible.
- Earth-humans have the better technologies, without a doubt. If we go by the cartoon-standards presented in the game, they cannot compete with the high engineering our world is capable of.
- Earth-humans lack survival instincts in general
I think we have the zombie apocalypse scenario in the bag now lol.
Azeroth wins, no question. If we got their leaders close to death, they’d just shout “ENOUGH!” and stun us all.

Azeroth leaders and highest of miltary commander rankings are on and in the middle of the battlefields directing their armies.
Earth Leaders and Highest of military commander rankings are often out of sight and tucked away in secret locations directing their armies.

Never underestimate the stupidity of humanity. Every time you’ll be surprised lol. Also, why do you think San Francisco was the drop zone for America? Now once that horde of undead started making it’s way to the midwest they’d meet real resistance. Of course, you’d have to take into account the virus would spread to the east coast and then you’d have a battle on two fronts. And even if somehow America survived, most of the rest of Earth wouldn’t (except Australia of course) so the economy would bottom out and then you’d have food and energy issues in America, at least in the short term.
Azeroth is a tiny fraction of the size of the Earth. That sword would only be the size of a large building on Earth. It wouldnt cause the kind of catastrophic events that you describe. Bigger building have been razed on earth with no noticeable effects.
Ughh. All I really remember about Argus is that he was the reason the Legion had the ability to keep respawning because they were using his life force. And at the end though the heroes somehow slayed him that’s when the planet finally entered its final ending. (Then we went on to meet him again in the SL.)
But given that Azeroth likes the creatures living on her, she’d probably teleport herself out to keep the world safe instead of cracking it like a baby chick cracking open it’s egg.

Neither,because magic is not a primary in our reality and Earth would defend it by blowing them up. And if they cross then they would be wiped because magic is primary.
i don’t think dropping a zombie in San Francisco vs anywhere else in the country matters, guns exist everywhere. certain parts of the country like to think they are the monopoly on gun ownership, but its just not true, gun ownership percentages are universal across the country no matter what class or political affiliation.
I would say there is another problem -dieases who would win in that war?
The mages wouldn’t need to be anywhere on Azeroth.
They could be anywhere they please. Like suddenly nearby an integral military base working together to crush it with a giant meteor, or burning down miles of farmland and starting wildfires all over the place, or teleporting mana bombs behind enemy lines. And they wouldn’t even be a strain on logistics; they can just summon their own sustenance out of thin air.
That’s all assuming the nukes even reach their targets passed things like the Vindicaar and orbital lasers. Even if the nukes go off when they’re burned to ash the fallout wouldn’t be nearly as severe as one might expect; being detonated high enough in the atmosphere it’s not likely to concentrate to any appreciably dangerous degree in places where it could cause significant damage. And mind, though other races haven’t the same experience as Gnomes with radiation, Dwarves are close kin to stone and Humans are able to shrug off the likes of Tetanus in minutes; Azerothian fare is extremely hardy, far more so than anything earth-side except the megafauna of old.
And even if it does radiation isn’t the end of the debate because Gnomeregan was flooded with it, and yet the elementals, troggs and gnomes, though addled, survived. They had even established a safe zone in it as early as Vanilla, at which time the outer vents were spewing radioactive material into the atmosphere with no apparent effect on the outlying wildlife. And nowadays, as I’m aware, the Gnomes have established effective means of managing radiation exposure anyway.

it would take Earth a couple hours to eradicate all life on Azeroth. Azeroth may have magic shields to could maybe save them from a nuke, but they can’t live without air, food or water… and a few well placed nukes would simply break the planet to their core. Azeroth would end up with less than what Outland has now, literally just rubble.
And, in terms of key players, like Jaina or Anduin… they’d get droned.
No contest.
all good points, but if Azeroth struggles to win a war against troggs, they’d not do very well against organized earth military.
I’m assuming abject military competence on both sides, because Azeroth is a world fueled by plot armor and Earth is a hole where the pinnacle of military command in the biggest army hereon is an old man that can’t keep up with a snail-pace prompt.
Yeah, like I said, Azeroth is a world fueled by plot armor.
And bad writing, but that should be a given.
If Azerothian magic was as strong as you claim then nothing would have ever happened in game. All of these threats from every expansion would have been erased in minutes. Sorry Azeroth magic just isn’t this powerful.

I want to say azeroth because magic…
but none of azeroths militaries seem particularly skilled. Lots of individually powerful people, and someone like jaina would for sure wreak havoc on the battlefield, but ultimately she’s just one person.
Tally-ho!
