How would you go about doing it? Ruthless military conquest? Diplomatic measures by showing you were the best person for the job? Politically undermining other leaders?
Savage overtaking.
When I was done, there would be a ton more room for jungle.

If I tell you you’ll use my foolproof plan before I get a chance to.
You know, they say foolproof, but they never make them genius or average intelligence proof.

Bedding the royalty and ensuring the loyalty of the people. This is the most effective method of regime replacement.

I feel being the puppeteer pulling the strings of the current regime is a more effective way of gaining control.

That’s actually the point. ironically Art of War says very little about actual combat, and more so how to diplomatically make allies and avoid fighting and prolonged battles altogether, arguing that it’s a waste of resources when one can simply make allies or bribe a potential foe.

Hide auntie’s brain meds and watch as she goes off and drowns Horde cities again.

Increase news on everything to increase paranoia and cause division. Slowly turning all factions against each other and even internally. Slowly letting them cave from the inside as I sell the solution. Slowly recruiting all those who feel disenfranchised. If take over slows down create issues via third party to stoke the flames of fear.

well, first i’d obviously rebel against my siblings and fret for millennia about a fractured cosmos. then, i’d create an army of super-goth suits of armor. then, i’d persuade this really edgy elf chick to join in my cause. then, i’d… oh, wait…

remove “the sword” , put a “nuclear bomb” down there.
let everyone know you’ll press the button if things dont go your way. EZ
honestly, the best way to take over azeroth is just figure out how to seduce the world-soul. what sort of aftershave do interplanetary titans like? can i find it at macy’s?
I’d become an AH baron and get me some mad gold. Then I would find an unexplored area on Azeroth (there always seems to be one), and pay someone to tame and train the animals there.
Afterwards, I would entice the world’s heros to join my side with quests giving them plenty of gold and an unbelievable cool epic mount once we toppled the world’s governments. I would then use a second mount to make them go away and fight another danger on another world.
Nah, for something like that, you’d probably need Ulta for the cheapest option.

I’d say as long as you avoid Axe, too close to a sword, you should be okay.

Instead of giving my minions a bunch of items they won’t use so they can drop them to the players, I would offer the players the loot in exchange for their help.
Players would do anything for phat lewt.
First, I would start by heading to Ulduar to meet with Mimiron. Now that he is no longer under Yogg’saron’s influence, I would get him to start creating millions of Mechagnomes, even the completely mechanical versions, all of whom would answer to me.
Then, I would spend the next 5 years spreading them out all over Azeroth, and beyond. Let them earn a place in all societies as workers, servants, engineers, tinkers, etc. Gain the trust of everyone (like iRobot). Once I have their trust, I would pull a Gul’dan.
I would then order every capital city to bend the knee or face the consequences.
Failure to do so, and I reach into my pocket, pull out my Kingdom Insurgency Loyalty Locator switch (K.I.L.L.) and press the button. At that moment 10 million Mechagnomes would fall under my control and would flood into the throne room of the cities who failed to bend the knee and I would destroy their entire hierarchy and put my most powerful weapon on their throne under my control.
Once I controlled Azeroth, with a Mechagnome in power in every city, I would return the rest to their everyday lives converting every city on Azeroth into a version of Mechagon.

Maybe if dumby Garrosh wasn’t leader, they would’ve gone further.
Probably using the Mechoriginator, already worked for another timeline.
