Naw, just light a big fire at the ONLY door and suffocate them. Only because it’s quicker than starving them out.
Most defensible, probably thunder bluff.
Yeah you have to take into account their universe is drastically different from ours. Magic would change how sieges work massively.
IF seem the only one i could think of. Mountain above and all the way round, lava below.
Saying that, makes me think about battlegrounds. Everything you do in them seems very…primitive, considering the world has magic. using wood and rock to take out buildings. I dont know lol
There’s already a giant burning forge inside the city. I don’t think lighting another fire would do much.

Or they could just collapse it.
Wait, wait, wait… are you telling me it’s a simple rope and pulley system operating those lifts, and not magical moo-cow magic?!
Those walking steaks lied to me! Oh that’s it, it’s on now. You hear me you pitiful porterhouses!?

Undercity and .Org have both had alliance “visits” ingame already.
Not very defendable when the only think that ever kept alliance out was the plague.
True, but that was for story purpose. Lets assume the people who run these things actually have a clue as to how to repel invaders, then answer again heh.

Uh. Alliance could end a siege of undercity by simply floating an airship over it and dropping a few big bombs.
Gnomes can make really nasty stuff, as proven by their nuke of gnomer, which is a bigger more complex city.
Well almost indefinitely, they do decay though, just really slowly.
You don’t need no stinkin elevators
Fair enough. Other side of this coin, dropping the roof on them wont actually kill all the Forsaken inside, probably not even most of them.
Maybe not at first, but given that the Undercity is a sewer system and not a real city then it’s not likely fortified to withstand repeated punishment.
So it’d eventually start collapsing. Especially given the kinds of bombs we’ve seen in Azeroth.
Undercity of course. It’s the only city whose citizens don’t need to eat or drink. Supplies are what counts the most in a siege.
I’d say Thunder Bluff, it’s the most vulnerable to siege weapons but you can just destroy the lifts and there’s basically no way for anyone to get up
So either they get screwed over by elevators or they’re all funneled into a sewer hole?
Seems like a solid defense to me.

But hasn’t Alliance had Wildhammer griffin riders since the RTS days?

I say thunder bluff. Even if people managed to get up the elevators, good luck pushing back through 2 skinny bridges with multiple hold offs
I don’t know what different lore says, but they have to eat to replenish their strength, and even have the racial cannibalize which reflects that need.
