What does that has to do with Kipshasz?
because I like to have a beer or two every now and then. Oh and a glass of scotch at dinner.
Cold hut... That made me LMAO. I admit that I live in a house built in soviet era, but it's much better than those modern cardboard boxes. Each heating season I save about 400 euros.
You think you're so cool that you live in a 'modern' country, but you're not. You're just a spoiled 13 yo with no respect for anyone. Maybe it has to do with your age. Maybe not.
Bah whatever, arguing with you is like discussing politics with my cat. But atleast the little critter listens.
@Dagoth: people still live in the Chernobyl region you know

My idea for the Alliance in Warcraft 4.
The Alliance
The Alliance one of the two major political factions of Azeroth, the other beign the Horde. The modern Alliance is banded up together by Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes and Draenei.
Strengths: Good upgraded rescourse gathering, fortified buildings, advanced technology, effective spellcasters, cooperative building, peasant militia and excellent towers.
After Sargeras downfall, the Night Elves felt that they had served their part and they officialy left the Alliance along with their allies.
But even without the Night Elves, the Alliance remains of the four superpowers in Azeroth.
The Peasants are the ones that gather Gold and Lumber. They also build the fortresses for the Alliance. But due to recent technology, the gnomish Super Rigs have replaced them in many duties.
The Alliance infantry contains mostly of humans. The Footmen stand in the frontline and the dwarven Riflemen close behind them.
Knights are the main assault force and they have Paladins to support the infantry groups.
The Alliance is the most technological advanced faction in Azeroth at the moment. Their Factories are operated by the Tinkers.
The gnomish Spider Tanks are excellent for destroying air units and large clusters of infantry. The Siege Engine demolishes walls, towers and buildings and the gnomish Biplanes can release radioactive bombs to quickly decapacite large groups of enemy units.
The Alliance has benefitted a lot from their most recent allies, the Draenei. The Draenei has now replaced the High Elves as healers and spellcasters.
Draenei Anchorites heal and bless allies while the draenei Arcanists provide excellent utility.
A Draenei creation called the Pylon wards of magical attacks but empowers the Alliance own spells.
The best Alliance units are still the traditional and proffessional Gryphon Riders. Its mostly due their Stormhammers which breaks through and ignores enemy defenses, making them very effective against heavly armored foes.
The Commanders of the Alliance are the Draenei Exarch, an elite paladin and champion of the Light. The human Archmage which deals great ranged damage and offers amazing utility. The dwarven Officier stands supreme in the frontlines and lastly the human Rangers have been revived.
The Alliance buildings have proved to be very effective. The buildings are very durable and strong. The Town Hall is the heart of the Alliance fortresses. It provides some economic upgrades aswell as the recruitment of Peasants. Scout Towers allows the Alliance to watch over great distances and through research detect hidden enemies. The Barracks recruit the basic units of the Alliance. The Forge improves the Alliance soldiers. The Lumber Mill and Gold Mine are both used for rescourses.
The Altar of Kings can recall fallen heroes and the Farms provide food for the troops.
Later many Town Halls get upgraded either for war or for economy. The war upgrade is called a Castle. A castle gains the Alliance acess to the Launch Bay and Scientific Core. The economic upgrade is the City Hall which increases food limit and allows the Alliance to construct Marketplaces and build Super Rigs.
The Scout Tower can be upgraded to the Ballista or dwarven Mortar Tower. The Observatories are used by the Draenei. The Factory constructs the technological units of the Alliance. The Scientific Core improves special upgrades, the Garage upgrades for the Factory units and the Marketplace allows you to trade and exchange rescourses.
The most advanced Alliance bases gains access to the Launch Bay which constructs Nukes. The Gryphon Aviary can also be constructed at this level.

That was all for the Alliance.
What do you think? I stayed up the whole night for this lol
Next time I will do the Forsaken. They are so cool.
But before that I will add quotes for all the Alliance units. I just love the Gnome units. The Super Rig, Tinker, Biplane and Spider Tank all have gnomes in it. And the Siege Engine drivers are a married Dwarf couple
/// Copied from another forum where I also post.
Anyway, like Starcraft 2 each race has its own campaign.
Warcraft IV: Legacy of Humanity
is the first part of the series. 10 years has past since Sargeras downfall and WoW. The Forsaken has pretty much captured all of Northrend and converted many of the Scourge forces into Forsaken. They are the biggest bad guys and girls there are and the most powerful race. Sylvanas knows that the other races are growing suspicious on the Forsaken and she knows that she will have to strike before the Alliance, the Horde and the Night Elves band up against her. Sylvanas isnt featured in the first game as she is on a secret mission in Northrend. Instead, the death knight Darion Mograine is the Forsakens leader here.
There has been a revelation amongst the Orcs. Garrosh Hellscream has splitted the Horde. Now, the majority of the Horde follows under Garrosh banner and Garrosh wants to slaugther the humans like the swines they are. He is already in conflict with the Night Elves.
The Night Elves left the Alliance but are still friendly against them. Already, the Night Elves are in conflict with the Orcs again.
The Humans have had the most changes in recent times. Varian Wrynn is getting into his 50s and he is slowly passing on the crown to his son, Anduin Wrynn. Anduin Wrynn is now an adult and the first human Ranger for a whole generation.
Though Varian still does not like the Horde, Anduin is more open minded about them.
Since the Scourge in Lordaeron was eliminated, the continent is flourishing. A second Alliance of Lordaeron is growing led by Caila Menethil and Aliden Penelope.
The Forsaken has shown to be hostile against this new Alliance and does not wish it to be successful.
Both in Stormwind and Stromgarde there has been discussions about chasing the Forsaken away from Lordaeron. Not only because they are becoming a larger threat each day, but also because Lordaeron is the Legacy of Humanity. Lordaeron belongs to Humans, Dwarves and High Elves. Not Zombies and stitched corpses.
The opening cinematic of the game is something like this:
In Stormwind, the Death Knight Thassarian is living happily with his sister. The Scourge is no more and he is free from the iron chains of the Lich King.
But one night he dreams of a dark elven-looking lady walking along the Icecrown Glaciar. Suddenly, she looks down upon the ice and sees something trapped within it. She shatters the ice and picks up some kind of artifact that you dont get to see.
Thassarian wakes up and feels that the psychic connection that once had existed between the Damned and the Lich King has renewed itself.
Thassarian reports to Varian during a meeting where they talk about Lordaerons future and the Forsaken. Varian listens to what Thassarian has to say. That Sylvanas has reached such power, that her psychic abilities seem to be just as strong as the Lich Kings mental powers when he was active.
Varian orders the blood elf rogue Valeera Sanguinar, leader of the SI:17 (Stormwind Intelligence), to get Anduin. In the ending scene you see the ships from the Stormwind Harbor sailing north, to Lordaeron.
The Campaign is splitted in three parts. There will be around 30 missions.
The Ranger; focuses on Anduin Wrynn and his efforts to prove himself for his father and build up a resistance against the Forsaken in Lordaeron.
The Archmage; focuses on Jaina Proudmoore and the struggles of the Horde. This is more of a side story leading up to the first expansion - Might of the Horde.
The Exarch; focuses on Maldaar and the Alliance operations in Northrend where the Forsaken are getting more territory.
After completing atleast the Ranger and the Exarch you unlock...
The King; focuses on the final stages in the invasion of Lordaeron. You get to play as King Varian Wrynn himself.
I will also tell you how I imagine the human campaign to end.
During the final assault against the Undercity, Varian is hit by one of the Forsakens plague clouds.
The Alliance wins and the Forsaken flees accros the North Sea. However, in the last cinematic that celebrates the victory on the streets of Stromgarde Varian suddenly dies. His old age couldnt handle the Forsakens plague running through his body.
