How Powerful is the Horde? - World of Warcraft Lore 

"After being captured by the murlocs" damn that sounds kinda lame

Was kind of hoping for a more quntative analysis on their military strength and population, same with the alliance video. Alot of these comments are similar to the alliance as both factions were involved in every major expansion. Does one hold more land over the other? What material resources do they have at their disposal? is there a technology advantage for one or the other? Are they politically stable? How do the factions compare? Are zeplins a major tactical advantage over airplanes and ships? How do their magical skills conceptually match up? Do they have the population to sustain a proper war?

We all know the most powerful faction are the murlocs.

I have been looking forward for this. Keep up the great work!

Horde and Alliance is like quantity vs quality. Horde is the quality side wich i will chose any day

The Horde's plot shield is ten times more powerful than amost all the Alliance races. But the humans plot shield is so big that it matches the entire Horde's.

Good shit man , really appreciate the videos! Keep up the good work!

That's why I love the horde so much

Rather than just listing the strengths of the Horde you give us a history lesson on the lore! Really enjoying this kind of layout, keep up the awesome content!

WE NEED THE HOZEN AS ALLIED RACE!!

Thanks for this vid love your content!

lets face it, when Garrosh was warchief the horde was at its best

"Low in numbers" a fact that is never, ever reflected in-game. I get that things are different lore-wise but it's funny that the Horde are always shown with absolute swarming numbers, especially the orcs

I really like your your videos, keep up the great work! If I can ask, where are you from? (sry for bad English)

Fantastic as usual! bravo brate!

All this bickering about who is stronger and who is going to win...lol, you guys do realize that this war is totally meaningless, and that long before we can see any sign of a clear "winner" the old gods are gonna pop up and spring the great nasty surprise they have in store for us right? But even disregarding that, neither faction is strong enough to completely defeat and destroy the other faction, a war between the horde and the alliance is always going to end in a bloody stalemate.

For. The. HORDE! Great vid, dude.

you missed what the nightborne bring to the table with suramar being an incredibly valuable magical powerhouse of an ally potentially rivaling that of the blood elfs. Allied races on both sides should go into this power comparison as well in general other than just a brief mention.

Dont forget the arcane wisdom from the Nightbornes, i guess they have also a lot to offer.

I guess after the Broken Shore, the meaning of "Lok'tar ogar" should be changed to "victory or retreat".

FOR THE HORDE !!!

Keep it up love your videos

Great Video! Lok'tar ogar!

Considering 2/3 of the playerbase in vanilla/tbc was alliance and horde still won every BG and open world pvp, HORDE ALL THE WAY!

You make the best WOW videos

I thought he was gonna say : this video is sponsored by the horde itself at the beginning

Beware of da voodoo

Keep up the good work. For the Horde!

Garrosh and Varian as leader were the good ol time. Both of them were fighting for the future of their people even if their choice were wrong. Anduin is fighting for peace and sylvanas to fight the "void legion".

Garrosh did nothing wrong.

Most powerful members of the Horde and the Alliance would be cool videos!

I think something else to consider with the Horde is how much spiritual backup they have. The Alliance races mostly worship the Light, the night elves Elune, and both of those are very distant forces which usually only manifest in the powers of individuals who follow them. The Horde, on the other hand, are generally much more willing to deal with elementals, wild gods and loa, who are less powerful but much, much more willing to intervene directly in events that concern them. Of course these entities are generally self-interested and only want to help themselves most of the time, but if they're smart at all they'll know that the Alliance isn't going to deal with them as willingly or as favourably as the Horde does, especially the loa, and therefore that they have much more to gain in tipping the scales towards the Horde. It's really no coincidence that loa are going to be such a big part of the story in BfA. Also, with the Highmountain tauren and Nightborne joining, aren't the Horde basically in control of the Broken Isles? The others that live there are neutral.

Nice video, it would be even better if Nightborne and Highmountain Tauren was included after 6:53.(the moment when u finished with the Goblin) Btw I personally think the Alliance has greater power generally than the Horde in the lore. What do you say?

Video could have ended at 1:45 "after being captured by the murlocks"... does anything else really need to be said?

Hey doronsmovies,you will speak about the burning legion or the iron horde and one powerful is?

You forget Pandarens, they brought beer and kung fu.

What is the name of the song on epidemicsound i can't find it.

Horde can only defeated from inside(For example: Gul'dan), Alliance has no chance aganist us as always, with Zandalari we will be so strong.

Браво човече. Имали би сатима о чему да причамо!

cool video👏👏👏👏

For the Horde!!

the goblins are much more than expert engineers. goblins are the spine of horde economy. if they leave the horde its basicly done

IF the alliance is Aquaman, the Horde is Batman. Easy.

I am not sure the Fel is as common with the Blood Elves now since they regain the Sunwell there main power would be Arcane and Light. I think besides Warlocks Fel is not use anymore by the Blood Elves

Nah, Goblins shall drop some Towns-in-a-box upon Stormwind and make it a fucking Goblin town

Awesome video :) for tha horde

I don't think that the Horde can explore/ transport and conquer other planets. The only spaceship we've traveled on in-game was Draeneis, and even though both factions used it only one can build such. The only way I can imagine Horde to travel between the planets (I don't want to mention any Goblin rockets as it would be suicidal) is if they receive a 'favor' from Aggramar who could open a portal for them, the same as Sargeras (/Medivh) did with the 1st Horde. It could mean at some point that Alliance can become stronger than Horde thanks to expansion to other planets. But because Draenei had to sacrifice a lot of resources on this one spaceship, it simply means that Alliance can't build a new one, or more, during the war with the Horde (and honestly they will be at war all the time, since that's the point of these two factions).

This has made my day For the horde!

Still hoping to see minor factions, like Kul'Tiras and especially the Ebon Blade.

Great video but I think a larger stress on the population difference between the Alliance will be very important. There is just so many humans its insane. However the big difference as you said is majority of the horde is more battle hardened as the Alliance have many citizens that have no relation to military. Maybe mentioning that a battle of attrition cannot be done with Horde forces while the Alliance can do so. It also explains why the horde tactics have used bombing, burning huge trees lol, or using the plague. They simply lack the numbers the Alliance have to do longer wars.

Well, in Aliance there is more lore baised powerful characters who would defeat horde leaders. Khadgar - supreme mage, Jaina - supreme mage, Muradin - strong warrior, Velen - strong priest, Anduin - strong priest\paladin and in the future supreme light champion. Magni - speaker of Azeroth herself ！Also It were mainly aliance characters who proved to be true heroes... Aegwyn, Medivh, Lothar, Khadgar, Tirion, Varian

Go check out the storyline of Sylvanas and her Valkyrie. The Forsaken are not able to 'recruit' in the old fashioned 'raise corpses'

Dont forget to hit that Bell icon =D

You forgot the part where they don't even trust one another and always have a falling off with one of the races every other expansion/patch.

Great and fair video, but you have forgot to mention a few things: - Garrosh was under the influence of Heart of Y'Shaarj and actually was pardoned by the August Celestials. Bronze Dragon Kairozdormu and Wrathion kidnapped him away to Alternate Draenor. Before that he was quite honorable, proof can be found at ending of Stonetalon Mountains quests and at his reply letter to Magatha. - Also, you forgot to mention, in lore Trolls have powerful regeneration abilities, they can even grow limbs back. - And also you forgot to mention Blood Elves have the Sunwell restored (ironically, thanks to Velen) and in lore Silvermoon is now connected with Isle of Quel'danas, it's a much more powerful city, close to its former glory now and with Sunwell, Blood Elves became a considerable force. - Optionally, it's not happened yet but you could mention Zandalari and Mag'har too, they will join The Horde. Zandalari IS the oldest and most powerful race of Azeroth, comparably almost as powerful as the Draenei in lore and Mag'har of the old Iron Horde of Alternate Draenor, even defeated and now in war with Yrel's Lightbound, they have the big numbers The Horde is lacking.

How Powerful is the Scourge? - Post Warcraft III - Post WotLK - What is their greatest Weakness? - Will we go back to Northrend in BfA???

The big number of blood elves are not using fel magic (except the warlocks) since they reignited the sunwell with the powers of both the holy light and the arcane back in the end of the burning crusade, that's why they are getting golded eyes in bfa since they are removing the fel taint from them slowly. They bring out the blood knight paladins who wield the light and are very powerful fighters and an elite in the blood elven society, they also have very powerful holy priests that heal the wounded and wield the light offensively and also the blood elven farstriders (hunters) who are also an elite part of their armies, protection and investigations. The taurens also wield the light too, they have low numbers of priests (sages) that also heal but also they commune with the spirits of the dead, they also have the sunwalkers who wield the light more as a healers and defenders and lets not forget the tauren shamans who also like to heal and to maintain balance with the elements since they are very ancient in the shamanism together with the trolls and are the first races on Azeroth that are practicing shamanism.

hey mate what is name of w3 map at 1:27

Against that space ship its gonna hard

Nothing the Empire of Man with its Steel, Faith, and Gunpowder couldn’t handle I’m sure!

“Rise up sons of the horde blood and thunder. LOK’TAR OGAR FOR THE HORDE”

Make an updated version with allied races

If the Horde would have same number of people like the Alliance, I think Horde would be a lot stroger than the alliane

For the Horde!

More powerful than the alliance that's for sure! Considering every BG on alliance side were all standing around talking about how were gonna get owned :(

Lok'narrosh! FOR THE HORDE!

For the Horde !!! Azeroth will be ours !!

WC3 2 Footman = 1 Grunt. The horde always had few soldiers, but biology makes them much stronger than an ordinary human. The horde endured all the battles including two civil wars, Undercity and Orgrimar. The tactics of the horde are more related to guerrilla warfare than the classic army. Referring to the magic for now tip the balance for the side of Silvermoon and Suramar more than Dalaran (that under the command of Khadgar I imagine that it will stay away from the conflict). On the other hand an open war between the factions would not leave an obvious winner, even sylvanas did not want a war, only to close in Kalimdor and let the alliance bleed, taking part of the elven population as hostages. Another point is that the horde has not hesitated to use weapons of mass destruction (at least two of its leaders) and that makes them extremely dangerous. If Sylvanas is able to fill her own city with plague, let's imagine what she is capable of doing with her enemies. Even smaller factions proved to be too powerful for the horde or alliance to face alone, even less would a total victory be possible. For example, we still found Broken Draenei under the noses of the Burning Legion after thousands of years.

Well hey are you horde or alliance

Short answer: However Blizzard wants them to be. One minute they can kick Sargeras's behind and next Hogger destroys Orgrimmar.

Most arguements seem to be that the horde are refugees and the alliance is largely populated but isn't it the other way round? Looking at the alliance, the draenei, gnomes, worgen and as of bfa, the night elves are very few and are refugees without a home. The humans are most populated with the survivors from seven kingdoms pooring into stormwind who currently inhabit 4 in-game zones. The dwarves are the only other race who have a stable milaterised empire but choose not to use infantry in the alliance and instead support the humans with their weapons. I think the bfa cinematic shows how the alliance is mainly supported by a human infantry with gnome and dwarf weaponry and draenei and elven magic as support. The horde on the other hand has the full support of all their races with large, stable empires. The orcs are heavily militarised and well reinforced by recources, the tauren are largely populated and span 6 in-game zones however most of them are under threat, the trolls are very few in number and have no empire but have a strong army as shown by their rebellion, the goblins support the horde with their economy and weaponry such as the cannon at bilgewater, the blood elves are few but have re-stabalised their kingdom and have a large navy as shown by the isle of thunder and SoO, the forsaken have a large empire and military in lordaeron which could change after SoL. With nearly every race able to use their own armies, a united horde army would easily crush the humans if properly organised

The horde has the Zappy boi I duno bout you but I'd be afraid

Ah, the Horde... When this game is over you will all be back in the Internment Camps. Not even Broxigar's spirit can save you!

SITH WILL HELP THE HORDE 😎,za Hordu!!!

I love how everyone hated Garrosh for his war crimes,bombing theramore because it was a fortress of the enemy, the fall of Gilneas just more war, the desecration of the vale is legit not good, but the rest is just silly to hate him for it. The warchief mantle is thrown at him, he knows he is not ready yet he takes it anyway. His advisers turn on him pretty easy, the druids are killed by orcs, so it must be Garrosh. No one gives the guy the support he needs so he just gives up on the other races realizing that the only true protectors of the Horde are the orcs so he starts running the Horde like the Orcish Horde not entirely a bad thing, to be honest if people would of just talked to him and stuck by him maybe he would still be around. Turning our hero into a villain just for the sake of story, it fucking sucks. Yet Sylvanas can just start up a war with the Alliance, burn a world tree and starts using the plague on the Alliance and everyone is cool with it. ten outta ten, Garrosh was just being a Warchief. Sylvanas is probably the worst Warchief. I hope she dies.

Is troll mage a voodoo user or an arcane user

I just want a big, hairy, smelly, green orc butt back on the throne and a designated valley of elves.

Seeing as they always dominate battlegrounds pretty strong

Hmm, you horde might think you're strong. But you don't have... T'PAARTOS!

I wonder if sylvanas makes garrosh into an undead

Lok'tar Ogar! FOR THE HORDE!

I think you forgot another very important thing Goblins do...MONEY!!

That the Horde didn't win the 4th war is entirely down to Sylvanas trusting Saurfang to kill Malfurion, and Saurfang not doing so. Not saying Sylvanas was justified in burning Teldressill, only that she wouldn't have if her underling could follow simple instructions.

Wrong, mate. Forsaken can not be raised again. That's the lore. That's why sylvanas wanted immortality so much, she wanted to raise forsaken and give more of them life.

What does the horde flag/symbol means?

For The Horde !!!!

Is it true that most Horde players are generally more liberal than Alliance players on average...??

The Naga should join the Horde next expansion

Instant gaming!? I thought he would've said Green Man Gaming.

since pre-patch dropped, (War More) I've been leading the horde ( Offensive and Defensive ). here's what i noticed: alliance: No coordination what so ever. poor tactics and scatter around every time they try to attack. no matter how big the group attacks, they always lose to smaller group of the Horde. leave battle too soon and mount up to run, even when we get them down eventually. the best of them i've seen in pvp are the one's who come to durotar to gank low health dueling players..( some of their rogues are really annoying but eventually dies over and over) Horde: Listen to their Group leader, Plans from everyone also accepted. NO ONE is allowed to die only if ganked by a surprise. Regroup is always the 1st and 2nd option. Well timed attacks on both sides ( off/def). even assassins coordination to Kill their healers. High moral, No stopping until all areas are clear of every alliance near, (Including stealth one's). and the horde will not only defend their orgi always, they always attack back into stormwind and seriously take over the city. not only fly around and that's it. they walk inside the city also (RP walks) until there's no defense then we leave.( That includes goldshire, Ironforge, the sw pvp area right outside the gate)

Lets face it, the only reason garrosh is dead is because he was so fucking op that blizzard decided to kill him. He literally was unstoppable, one of the Best tactician and one (if not) the Best Warrior in Azeroth.

For the horde!!! Loctar

Instant Gaming is bae!

For the !!(I am horde anyway)

Hellscream was the best warchief imo :D

FOR THE DARK LADY!!

- Doesn’t defend Healer in WSG Very very powerful

Do how powerful is Malygos

For the Hordeee

What you said almost at the end is it HUGE Watch by the end of abf...
