Current Events > Could modern earth conquer the warcraft planet?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Let's say we found a Stargate that takes us to Azeroth. Could the combined earth military forces defeat everyone there?

My mage would solo Earth

Nah demon hunters cant fucking die

I could only imagine if the sheep you're eating is an actual sheep or a polymorphed human.

There are worse fates than death.

Also, yeah, I think modern earth could take Azeroth handily.

lol good luck

Pretty much any magic caster solos.

If we are ignoring gods or god-like figures, absolutely not. The entirety of Middle Earth united together along with Mordor would struggle to invade any decently fortified city in Azeroth, let alone Stormwind, Orgrimmar, Icecrown, Dalaran, etc

Even if we ignore Azeroths mages, and have just melee fighters and archers, Azeroth outright dominates Middle Earthen fighters

I don't think there's one single aspect of war Middle Earth has an edge over Azeroth with. They would be flattened effortlessly.




oh wait, modern earth? nukes would destroy azeroth, but azeroths mages destroy earth

He said modern earth, not middle earth.

might have a better shot against middle earth

The Warcraft world is one in which eldritch abominations, demon lords, and arcane masters can be slain by swords, axes, bows, and muskets.

Our modern technology would demolish them, magic or no.

1 nuke gg

Easily

Guns > swords bullshit magic

Easily, infiltrate their governments and let Republicans take over. If rampant global warming and poverty doesn't render that planet obsolete, nothing will.

I don't think so. The initial invasion would probably go well, but after that the insurgency would be unmanageable to say the least, especially if the Burning Legion gets involved.
---

Earth's army would defect to follow High Overlord Saurfang to glory

No way. Best case scenario is we kill each other at the same time.

Our average troops would likely beat their average troops. Tanks vs catapults and thunder lizards, jets vs dragons and gargoyles, army soldier vs footmen and elven archers. Modern armies would have the edge here.

But then, their world destroyers are much better than our nukes even.

Based on that, I'll have to say Warcraft. Because of their world destroyers.

they have tanks, guns, etc in the warcraft universe. not as high tech as ours, but enough to replicate to some extent the punishment they can dish out.
an elven archer shooting explosive arrows can do a lot more damage than a standard troop with an assault rifle

Ah yes, the dwarves and goblins. Forgot about them.

But if you ask me, those machines are kinda rickety and would probably be less threatening than their drakes, Doom Guards and stuff.

(note that my knowledge of their tech is only up to frozen throne. i don't know how much wow advanced their tech.)

the fel reavers from the latest Legion expansion would wipe modern tanks off the face of the earth
theres also the gnomes who have more sci-fi tech like lasers and stuff

Then give that soldier a grenade launcher and watch him do a ton more damage than that elf.

And our tanks, guns, assault helicopters, bombers, etc would vastly outperform any Azeroth weapons tech.

can our current technology detect invisible archers?

Thermal imaging?

Depends on how their magic works, really.

Jaina solos.

We have thermal imaging tech, so if they give off enough heat, or cold, compared to the background temperature, yes.

Also, from wikipedia...

In September 2013, the United States Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate demonstrated a prototype of the FINDER radar technology device, which it developed in conjunction with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.[6] FINDER uses microwave radar to detect the unique signature of a human's breathing pattern and heartbeat, through 20 feet of solid concrete, 30 feet of a crushed mixture of concrete and rebar, and 100 feet of open space.

So, if they breath or have a heartbeat, we can know they're there.

The military stomps fantasy land.

Dwarves, last I checked, don't have anything like the MK-19.

If some basic Horde and Alliance adventurers can defeat Fel Reavers, the modern earth military can.

Imagine modern Earth actually being able to come together and coordinate this kind of attack. We're too busy butting heads.

with wizards, devil summoners, healers blessed by all the various gods in their world, etc

Again, in the end both worlds end up nuking eachother. But in nukeless warfare Azeroth clearly stomps modern earth.

why do people keep saying that an Elf with a bow can beat an average soldier in an M4?

because elfs in warcraft tank/dodge guns all the time, can shoot magic exploding arrows that can destroy tanks, etc

lol given that my warrior can solo the entire continents of Azeroth and Kalimdor, sure.

Going exclusively by the RTS games, up to Frozen Throne...

I don't think Azeroth would have a chance. Sure they have some impressive magical tricks but there is nothing they could do against bombs delivered from super high altitude. Someone said Divine Shield? Great, the Paladins survive the initial blast, maybe. Now what?

The Paladins survive and then revive their dead allies.

And then they get shot again

Not even. Azeroth has nothing that can stand against our superior military tech. We sweep them handily without even needing nukes. Fel Readers have nothing on our long range mobile artillery or airborne gunships or bombers.

None of those wizards and healers will be able to handle getting sniped from over a mile away or rapid fire grenades.

The guns in Azeroth are basically limited to musket-tier tech. That's not going to compare to our modern assault rifles. Those elves are toast.

Only if the Azeroth "gods" get involved, otherwise our military tech would win IMO
