The Human Kingdoms need some love

Stormwind is really looking stale when you compare it to Kul Tiras and the Arathi Tribe (from what we’ve seen thus far). I’d like to see Stormwind get more flavor. Stromgarde though i would like to see more focus. It certainly deserves it and i think there’s a lot of potential there.

As for the Lordaeron survivors, i think they need to finally give them some kind of resolution. And they don’t even need to retake Undercity to have that resolution. I’ve been saying for years they just need a city or enclave somewhere to be their continuation and representation. That city or enclave could even just be in Stormwind’s lands somewhere. Or you could have it in Lordaeron given that there’s more to Lordaeron than just Undercity. Tyr’s Hand would be an ideal choice up north.

There’s also Menethil Harbor and Theramore. Menethil is literally named after Lordaeron’s last dynasty and could serve as their capitol. Theramore was founded by Lordaeronian survivors and should have been rebuilt years ago. Either way, there’s plenty of places for them to have a territory and be represented.

I think the same should be done for the Alteracians. Regardless of which faction or 3rd party controls Alterac, i think having a group of them in the Alliance affairs would be nice. You even have a few leadership options. Lord Ravenholdt or even bringing in Isiden Perenolde.

I wouldn’t mind if Stormwind had a mini makeover. I really wish we had gotten more districts with various racial flare. Like maybe expand the Pandaren camp and have it become a full blown temple/school. Add a Kalimdor district for the worgens/night elves/dreanei.

Alliance has all good Land.

That does not actually answer my question, and it’s not even true. Quel’thalas (the parts that are not blighted), Mulgore, the Southfury River, all seem like pretty good land.

And Alliance has some land that has proven difficult to utilize, like the Wetlands or Westfall.

Durotar, Ghostlands and the Barrens are wasted, plagued and bare of any resources. Compare it to Elwynn, Wetlands and Ashenvale.

I would love to see the Argent Crusade moving into the Ghostlands and pretty much replace the Forsaken there. This branch of the Crusade should be mostly dominated by Bloodelves but some Forsaken, as part of the Crusade could be there as well.

The rest I get, even if I disagree, but the ghost snd slime infested swamp surrounded by difficult to traverse mountains is your standard for cushy living? Really?

Wetlands is where the dwarfs have most of their farms.

I feel like you might be thinking of Loch Modan, which is relatively nice.

Or it was before some dragon decided to be terrible.

Wetlands is, well, a marsh. And thanks to said dragon, part of it is now a salt marsh.

The Barrens and Durotar are well suited as places to hunt game, and for ranching. Which is what the Orcs seem to prefer to farming. They are certainly not lacking in resources.

Anyway, this would be a salient point if the Orcs had been trying to expand into places with arable farmland that the Alliance controlled, but they never did. Their main concern was expanding into Ashenvale for the purposes of gathering lumber, which they then used for building structures and weapons of war.

Hunting and ranching are notorious for the inability, even in lush environments, to support population centers like cites.

Hunting alone can’t feed a city with thousands of people. Hunting is for a gatherer society which the Orcs left behind after the Draenei genocide.

Orcs have been shown practicing agriculture since War1:

War2:

So it’s not like they don’t have it. We are also never explicitly shown agricultural settings outside of humans for aesthetic purposes, but it’s not like these things don’t exist.
There’s really no precedence to assume that ‘Orcs prefer hunting over farming’.

Honestly though, Blizzard has never taken any interest in showing or explaining these kinds of logistics (they’re boring to regular viewers anyway, so there’s really no point in it).

Durotar is literally a desert.

Only green spot is the troll island.

It used to have forests until Daelin deforested the place in his personal war against the orcs.

A faction is only as good as the majority. And currently that is the Orcs still. Their status is quite as pathetic to summarize it.

It would be ironic if it was the draenei that did the farming.

Yeah, give humans more stuff, agreed.

The only love they’ve gotten since WoD I guess.

We know that post war the Alliance retook Southern Hillsbrad and Southshore is being rebuilt. If I was a betting man for Midnight. That will be where the survivors of Lordaeron will gather that are Alliance aligned. They would likely be lead by Magistrate Henry Maleb. I would bet that the Worgen of Hillsbrad will be busy rebuilding their kingdom and along side them all the humans who fled South.
