Gilneans > rest of wow?

[Deleted]

Totally not gonna happen, whichever side Rhonin chooses (could go either way, Vereesa is just arm candy, he don't listen to her) is gonna win.

yeah, but as we all know, gamon is sargeras in disguise... so maybe it's just a fight to the death between those 2?

So it will be Sargeras riding the bomb facing Rhonin riding a nuke?
Won't happen 'till 2012.

No they didn't.. They crashed it right into Azeroth

Does no one read the Lore... like ever?

Blood Elves caused the ship to 'crash' and it wasn't flying through space either. It was teleporting from one point in space to another, a 'transdimensional craft' and ended up in the atmosphere above Azuremyst and just fell straight down.

So Draenei neither caused it to crash, nor do they have ships that fly through space, it works like a portal i.e. how orcs got to Azeroth in the first place.

finally someone who understands the difference between transdimensional craft, and spaceship ^_^

If the gilneans are the equivalent of victorians, complete with victorian technology, couldn't they just easily stomp all over the rest of azeroth? Bearing in mind they still have magic at their disposal.

Also, this thread should probably be taken lightly

Do they have plague that kills everything? I guess not.

[Viconia]

Oh and Airships.
(where's my Hindenberg!?)

In Tirisfal Glades.

If they could the forsaken wouldn't have taken Gilneas

[Deleted]

the best people to have them

I'd rather give nukes to people who would use it "because I wanted to see what would happen if I used it on a kitten"
than
"I will use it to knowingly kill millions"


if the nuke youre talking about is the one from gnomeregan, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a nuke... it was probably a toaster or something...

why a kitten? not cool.

[Combatbutler]

why a kitten? not cool.

Because Killing a kitten is the ultimate evil and if you can kill a kitten you can kill the whole world without feeling remorse

back on topic

Their technology is nice and more advanced then most still in a world filled with magic gnome tinkering and goblin explosives its nothing special

Hi there! You're a tall one! Want to see my Spider tank!

[Deleted]

honestly, if there was one thing that gnomes HADN'T blown up yet, it would most likely be a kitten

[Deleted]

Depends if Gilneas has flags at their disposal

*highfive* Eddie Izzard reference ftw!

I just wish Blizzard would hire some fucking English voice actors. I'll go ape-shit-bananas if I ever enter the Worgen starting zones to find myself surrounded by NPC's sounding like Dick Van Dyke in Mary-fucking-Poppins.

Edit: "You, you, you. Fuck off, we're having tiffin."

Gilneas was likely the must industrialized of the human nations, but that does not mean they could just stomp the rest of Azeroth, especially when compared to the other non-human races.

Gnomes > Dwarves/Goblins > Gilneans > Stormwind & Co. Humans > Orcs > Tauren/Trolls

Forsaken, Draenei, Night Elves, and Blood Elves are somewhat outside of this, since they are more likely to use magic and chemistry to replicate industrialization.

They may have a Victorian looking society, but you must also realize they sealed themselves off from the world. Generally if a civilization does that they can fall behind in the technological advancements going on in the greater world.

It was 20 years of isolation. Gilneas likely fell behind, but where they were at Gilneas 1-5 was still likely more technologically advanced than the other human nation-states.
