Besides during the medival times the knights were the best military unit because when the horses gain enough speed and the rider puts the lance infront of the horse,the knights just slashed true the enemy lines afterthat they droped it,and pulled of swords,meanwhile the enemys that survived were like WTF and then the other footarmy came and killed them and the Knights saved the day,End of story.
BTW I will be going now.Might check the hive from my friend's PC.

Tigers have way better agility then horses giving them great maneuvering abilities. Also Horses are scared in their presence. Elek is the meaning of slow and are god for only scaring because it isn't hard really to hit that kind of target.

And dragons are now insulted for being compared to a mount.

Hm, you are right. But it is part of the agreement - they live with us, as a race, but they can also if they want help others as mounts.

Elekks are actually quite fast. Plus they can carry big weights, they can scare anyone and if you see an elekk running at you, it will probably be the last thing you'll see.

Actually war elephants which are similar to elek are overrated. First they don't make difference from people they stomp (which why raiders always have ready weapon to cut spine). Also if scared by fire or anything range they usually turn back and destroy their own formations (Used by Romans against Carthaginians). And they are hard to support because of amount food they require. Not to mention the cost of mount it self and armor for it.

Elekks have a big plus - they can carry lamps on their horns and tusks.

Well I kinda didnt say it right. They actually are quite aggressive about that part of the pact. They even made me change the pact a bit to make it not mounting but "transportation of warriors and important civilians for the properity and safety of Triumvirtae and Sunrise Dragonflight". So you need to ask them very carefully and most likely they will not agree. However if you respect th dragon and have earned a place in their memory and archives in Sunrise Spire theyäll be glad to help you get somewhere.

But usually they just send dumb drakes to do it.

Well those are nether dragons, they are less arrogant and more... how to say it... scrutiny. They are much more careful and cautious then other dragonflights.
Anyway, they are actually reversing to black dragon form in Draenosh, but can use their nether form at any time. Im trying to make them the guardian dragonflight of Draenosh.

Well yes, they call everyone Old Gods and faceless ones.

Yet there is evidence that Ula-Tek really is an Old God. One of the most important things that proves it that trolls tried to summon her. Deity's and gods cant be summoned. Old Gods can. Especially with the sacrifces trolls prepared.

Anyway, I think that Hakkar is the son of an Old God who is imprisoned under Zul'Gurub. Hakkar will find followers and power to summon his father. Trolls in Sunken Temple couldnt summon Hakkar there because he could only be summoned next to his father or master. But it is possible that he is just his manifestation.

No, you cant! Deity's and gods cannot be summoned! Even the evil ones!
They are still creatures of faith and power, which can only grant power and stuff. The exceptions are Terokk and Anzu, however it seems that they are actually servants of Old Gods.

Old Gods are extremely powerful creatures that are imprisoned in this world, so they can be summoned or to be correct awakened.

Normal gods are not in this world, so they cannot be summoned.

Al every god religion with many gods has good gods and evil gods. Old Gods are just stupid thing that needs to be forgot as their name states They had their chance they ruined it and now new and numerous evil have their turn.

It is annoying to blame Old Gods when someone else put lot of effort and doesn't get credit.

Dude, there's no Jesus in Warcraft.
There is only Light. And manifestations of Light are the Naaru.
The Naaru are one of the races of Triumvirate who power cities, flying fortresses and much more weith their powers of Light and lead us further in the Light with their wiseness.

Well nobody says they are deitys. In fact everybody and they too know that they are just an extremely ancient and powerful race. Well actually they just sit there saying wise stuff and helping our scholars, but they also agreed to give us power. They think that thits better then just standing, plus they dont want us to find some way of powering connected to magic, wells or other stuff.

I know there isnt but why is there a cross as a grave stone?
Anyways the Trolman empire has their own god and thats Jesus he was just some peasant but then he was the son of the Naaru and saved us humans from the scourge and died for our sins.And thats what the trolhodox church is all about.

Well, I'm pretty sure your church portraied you as a God! But if you worship this peasent, it will put you lower than him! This will then help people have a different view to you, because they will interpret it in a different way to you! This will mean that their loyalty to you will reduce, and thus stopping them blindly following you!
