Should Stormwind have been in War 3?

[Footman16]

This is a simple question but I would like detailed answers. I for one would've liked a Human campaign in TFT where you play as the so called "reinforcements" that Azeroth sent to Lordaeron.

As for the Blood Elf/Human campaign you could hardly describe it as human considering you have to kill Humans half way through. In fact you would have been better calling it the Illidari campaign.

One thing I heard people complaining about was the lack of stormwind in lore after war 1. Well wouldn't the stormwind campaign have solved that and been far more interesting than Kael'fart Sunstinker and his band of elf junkies? You wouldn't even have to fight the undead for most of it you could battle the trolls, syndicate and ogres maybe even the frost wolves and have the undead become the primary threat towards the end.

I also heard one person saying "finally stormwind appears" in the Rexxar campaign only to be disappointed when they found out it was Kul Tiras - an equally sad story of lore rich potential being wasted.

Anyway thoughts and feelings, ideas too.

no it shouldnt of and it shouldnt be in wow either

it was annihilated only 15 years ago and in no way could it recover by wc3, infact it shouldnt of even recovered by wow

 

[Footman16]

It was hardly annihilated several sources say that the orcs slaughter wasn't very thorough. That and Anduin Lothar saved at least 3 generations of people.

"It was like a kingdom had taken to sea"

Several traders and nobles from Lordaeron also migrated down South.

 

[trolman]

I agree with you about how the human campaign sucked balls, it should have been about Garithos !

 

[takakenji]

it dosn't matter if the slaughter was thorough they completely burned down a lot of towns and stormwind which all had to be rebuilt. somehow they did this in fifteen years, and even built the deeprun tram

yet kul'tiras which was a much more prosperous nation with it's vast trade has still yet to recover

 

[Footman16]

It has recovered Tandred has built the navy almost back to its pre second war status just Blizzard are a bit forgetful to say the least and have forgotten one of the most untouched nations of Humanity.

The refugees from Lordaeron fled to Stormwind, the refugees from Dalaran; refugess from the Arathi highlands aswell.

They haven't recovered that much either I mean Westfall and Duskwood are actually independent of Stormwind, they have their own governments for goodness sake.

Guys, this qoute.

 

[Footman16]

I don't get the quote, funny mind you but how is that relevant to Stormwind's absence in Warcraft 3?

 

[takakenji]

that did not happen at all

 

[Footman16]

That says nothing about tower defence and as takakenji said that is not true. Lothar was never King.

 

[trolman]

the lore goes on alliance's side

 

[Footman16]

Right here it goes.

Orcs in first war destroy Stormwind and kill King Llane. Lothar leads all the survivors across the great sea up to Lordaeron. Orcs in Second war invade Lordaeron. Guldan betrays Doomhammer during the war leading to the Orcs to lose and be forced back and away. Lothar however dies in the last battle of the war.

There is a lot more but that is the jist of it.

 

[Codric]

I have to agree with takakenji becuase no matter, Stormwind was supposed to be sacked and it looks just fine in WoW, which it shouldnt becuase it was ransacked, so even IF they could rebuild the whole of stromwind within a what is it a 25 year period? There would still be scars from the orchish sacking.

 

[Footman16]

Remember Germany in the period of time between 1918 and 1939?

 

[marko9]

They needed an excuse for WoW since they had no remaining Human capital after War3. So they make Stormwind alive again.

 

[Footman16]

Out of all the Human Kingdoms:Alterac, Lordaeron, Dalaran, Gilneas, Stromgarde, Stormwind and Theramore four of them survived. Gilneas, Stromgarde, Stormwind and Theramore.

 

[Footman16]

I didn't say Theramore was an original kingdom but it is classed as a human kingdom. Stromgarde only fell right before wow so it was still alive by the frozen throne, and the same for Gilneas. Dalaran was rebuilt pretty late into wow.

I'm not talking about current human kingdoms I'm talking about the humans that should have been in warcraft 3 the frozen throne.

 

[Footman16]

Yeah I forgot Kul Tiras. I knew I'd left one out .

Nice Spanish by the way but I see what you mean the name is a bit... yeah.
