The Alliance of Lordaeron
Humans, elves and dwarves united against the Horde. Alliance units mirror the Horde's in cost and power; the difference is in the casters and the special units.
Key units
- Footman, Elven Archer (upgraded to Ranger) and Knight (upgraded to Paladin) — the core army.
- Ballista — siege.
- Mage — Polymorph, Blizzard and Invisibility.
- Paladin — healing and Exorcism against the undead.
- Dwarven Demolition Squad — explosive sappers.
- Gryphon Rider and the scouting Gnomish Flying Machine in the air.
- At sea: Elven Destroyer, Battleship and Gnomish Submarine.
How to play them
Paladin healing keeps an army alive through long fights, and Mages with Blizzard punish massed melee. Rangers, upgraded at the Elven Lumber Mill, are one of the strongest late-game units.
