Introduction

The awakened Dwarves of Uldaman forged a kingdom in the mountains of central Eastern Kingdoms. Ironforge was founded by three Dwarven clans, but they subsequently split. Two of the Dwarven clans, the Wildhammer clan and the Bronzebeard clan are now allied to the Arathor humans to their south and are not far from the northern alliance. The kingdom is populated by Dwarves and Gnomes (gnomes live mainly in Gnomeregan). They now fight alongside the Arathor Kingdom to stop the onslaught of the Fel Horde. Dwarves, led by their infinite curiosity and adventurous heart, they have settled a small encampment on the southern shore of Northrend.

Location & Allies

Ironforge is located north of Stormwind. Although its location is a benefit in the start of the game - against teal - it later has to deal with being situated just south of the North Alliance. The Deeprun tram can be built to link Stormwind and Ironforge together.

• Allies:
  • Arathor - The human kingdom to the south is extensive, but it cannot fight the Fel Horde alone. You should do all you can to help him. You should avoid being split up. If you manage to do this, you will have obtained your first victory already.

Notes

• If you choose the Fortifaction Mastery, it is cheaper for your gold purse (But not for you woodshed!) to build Dwarven Fortresses (total cost 70 gold and 610 lumber) than to build Improved Cannon Towers (75 gold, 360 lumber) as the fortresses also deal more damage and are a lot more sturdier (2800 hp after research) than the towers.
