BONUS QUESTION: You are allowed to bring two other people on the trip, but neutrality stipulations require them to be neither faction leaders or members of a military organization. Which characters do you take with you?

Do you know good maps of the world that are useful for campaigns?

Some user made this

Grizzly Hills, of course. I'll take one gnome and one goblin with me. Female. They should have an intense rivalry that also spills over into sexual tension.

I always liked this map someone made, since it makes the world seem so much larger. Wish this guy did some for the rest of Azeroth.

No, I think it was just a naming liberty the artist took. The Blasted Lands used to be the Black Morass, which was a lot like the Swamp of Sorrows.

Got one for kalimdor or any of the expansion continents?

..that's pretty funny actually. Ok, it was just a first random map I googled up to explain what I meant.

If you can expand a single zone and write it through with a lot of unique locations, waymarks, landscapes and similar you don't need to jump between schizo WoW zones with really different colors, climates, plants all the time when you do a campaign. It provides more immersion. But that's for D&D mostly, I guess...

A glitch. If I run off the bridge there, it renders the entire city just fine. Something about that bridge causes all the land to blink out of existence.

To be more specific, Swamp of Sorrows is all that is left of Black Morass (which we can see in Opening of the Dark Portal dungeon of Caverns of Time), rest became Blasted Lands due to radiation from Dark Portal, which is why Blasted Lands and Hellfire Peninsula are so similar.

how does the alliance fund all these stonemasons if they can't even afford vancleef?

This is Kul Tiras, not Stormwind.
Which wasn't being manipulated by a sexy evil black dragon bent on destabilizing the power structure.

A very efficient tax policy:
Peasants pay 90% but get free supplies from vendors by law.
Vendors are subsidized to run their operations at profit despite having no business other than buying trash.
Subsidies are completely paid for by the Auction House cuts.
All content (questing gold, towns, militaries) are all paid for by peasant taxes.
Peasants get gold from gold mines.
Finally, PvP honor are government bonds that represent the spoils of war the Alliance collects from PvP.

I want to remove her arcane skin and caress her scales, then cut off her head.

I want to be the only remaining uncorrupted female Black dragon.

What a shit economic system

>taxing the poor
>not taxing the rich
>efficient

I'd pick Farahlon. As for my companions, Phylarch the Evergreen and Abu'gar.

All the rich people can fuck up Stormwind all by themselves. It's not wise. Honestly it doesn't even make sense they accept the AH cut.

Stormwind under Varian is a banana republic, I think that was consensus a while ago.

Considering the poor are bound to the government for their very lives, no one would dare to rise up against it since their comforts would be taken away from them.

Sell me on flavor for various race-class combinations for pandaren and void elf.

How can an insurgency be roleplayed? Considering that "friendly", or rather, same faction NPCs cannot be attacked.

Roll opposite-faction alts and use Orb of Deception

The "House Guilds" coerce the bottom of their respective hierarchies to dress up as filthy peasants and walk into Stormwind Cathedral, where the "Lux Vult" guilds emote cutting them down and the peasants delete their characters.
Alternatively you get groups like the Defias roleplayers who try to "murder" the House guilds and troll their RP if they don't delete those murdered nobles.
It's really a shitshow all around.

But then they'd literally have 10-fold more money without the government.

Nope. Without the government they wouldn't be alive because no factions means no players, no players means no game, no game means no existance for peasants.

>creating an economy that incorporates "the player"
big meme

Love those WC2 maps.

Now I can see why Hillsbrad wasn't developed like Lordaeron was.

Have the other Warcraft 2 map

Lookin' mighty gay there.

Sauce?

How they managed to fuck this up over the course of WC3 and WoW is astounding.

It ought to be easy to make friendly NPCs be flagged for PvP. They just respawn after a short time anyway.

Cant have faction pride if you're allowed to kill your own faction desu :-)

>tfw you will never ever be able to go

"Look at me."
"Look at me."

People already complain about Draenor being small, if they stuck to that map Draenor would be a clusterfuck with the different clans living right next door to each other.

Is there a difference between being a warleader and a warlord?

Warleader is the general who directs the strategic efforts of the war but is still answerable to a higher power.
Warlord is both the general and the higher power.

>warlord
this is particularly tribal and can generally refer to a chieftain or otherwise
