Size of the Legion military force in Legion and the amount of death they would cause

[The Professional]

The Legion as we all know are launching their biggest invasion ever. Every major faction on Azeroth would suffer, not just the alliance and the horde. The Legion has thousands of demonic fleets, each thousands of demonic ships that houses hundreds of demons while larger ships and flagships could house up to hundreds of thousands of demons. The Legion will send at least tens of millions of demons during the first few hours alone. They would continue to reinforce their first wave of invaders through countless portals. No details about their total numbers but it is hinted that they have enough numbers to conquer Azeroth hundreds of times over.

Alliance will lose around 3,000,000 - 3,500,000 troops with around 2,500,000 troops lost during the Broken Shores alone. More than 50% of these numbers will be human deaths.

Horde would lose around 2,700,000 - 3,100,000 troops. Over 2,200,000 horde troops will be lost in the Broken Shore event alone with 70% of them being Orcs.

Zandalari Trolls will lose around 1/3 of their total military force fighting off the Legion invaders on their island which is around 2 million troops.

N'raqi will lose around 4 million to 5 million of their numbers trying to fight off the Legion Invasion.

The Naga will lose around 3 million of their troops to the Legion.

The Nerubians will lose around 7 million of their troops to the Legion forces.

The Qiraji will lose around 3 million to Three million five hundred thousand of their warriors to the demonic invaders.

The Undead Scourge will lose over 3 million of their troops to the Legion.

The Illidari will lose around 1,000 - 1,400 of their guards to the Legion.

The Pandaria continent will suffer a total of over 20 million deaths from the Legion Invaders, counting the Mantid, pandarians, and Mogu alone with the other natives there.

Dalaran will suffer around a few hundred thousand deaths during the course of the Legion Invasion.

Twilight Hammer will lose around 1 million of their cultist during the Legion Invasion.

The Elemental forces will lose around a few million of their troops to the demons.

The Dragonflight factions combined would lose around 800,000 dragons.

i think your number are way off and you dont know how many of those will join the legion

[Deleted]

There will be no civilian casualties?

Also would love to see your methodology for estimating population and military sizes.

Also source for Legion gaining access to elemental planes would be cool

[SirBeef]

SW has a population of around 200K. Org has a population of around 16K. All the other cities have significantly less people. Combined the player race populations might not even equal 1M. Azeroth is a small place.

This one is the best. Dalaran is a city of only 3000.

[TheWindWalker]

There is absolutely more than 1million people on Azeroth, hell Goldshire alone has a pop of like 40k

These numbers are from the rpgs and are not canon, we have absolutely no idea how large the population of the planet really is.

OT

As always nonsense numbers, keep going.

Source lands of conflict, which is non canon material.

[Sentynel]

I wonder how you came up with these numbers.

No, they do not! They already stated the numbers in the RPG book were not cannon. For what we know, there could be 16 billion people in Stormwind (ok, most likely not, but still). Heck, even if SW has a 200k population, humans have other cities too, major ones too.

Just think a bit, of Orgrimmar had a population of 16k, they'd have been literally wiped out in the Siege of Orgrimmar. Even in real life medieval times 16k populations would be wiped quite constantly.

I'm not sure you know what you're saying...

[Wyrt]

There's no fucking way there are that many humans from SW.

[logintime]

If we used the RPG numbers as fact, Tauren would be practically extinct by now. The pop numbers weren't smartly devised. Hell, according to them roughly two thirds of humanity lived in Stormwind city. That's crazy.

Basically, Blizzard has long since ignored that and acted like populations are unknown, and so should we.

[Granyala]

The legion is infinite. As long as the portals are operational: we're screwed because they will keep coming.

OFC their lieutenants tasked with guarding them portals will be completely incompetent, enabling us to close them and cutting them off from any of their homeworlds.

Meh.

[Ser Kingslayer]

and your source is?

[Leih]

The population of Azeroth settlements is exactly what the plot decides there needs to be at any given time in a sequence of events.

Not even Blizzard have decided

This is true, but if you cross reference the RPG books and some of the other non canon sources, there is a lot of overlap. But to think that cities like SW or IF or UC have close to million people living there is insane.

Why would that be insane. Lordaeron was decimated and no longer contains many humans, Alterac was a small kingdom and is know the Ogres, Gilneas is a small kingdom and no longer counts as human, Dalaran is smal, Stormgarde is in ruins with very little in terms of population, and Kul Tiras was a small kingdom. All of the displaced could have easily migrated to SW and it's territories.

I in no way disagree that the OP is insane.

But cross referencing non-canon sources? That's like saying "Well this random youtube comment and this article on page 19 of the Daily Mail seem to agree so it must be true" :P

Non-canon is non-canon, doesn't matter how many of those sources say it.

[Deleted]

it's the same guy who posts these weird numbers every couple of months or so

they're always taken straight out his headcanon

[Raetary]

where the fck did you get these numbers from?

[xChurch]

Blizzard intentionally keeps things like populations blurry otherwise people start questioning how we can have massive world affecting conflicts every expansion.
