In World of Warcraft, the tactical genius Grommash managed to drive the forces of Horde and Alliance into retreat with an army of paper Orcs.
In the game, there is a huge horde of Orcs waiting to crush the players’ armies. An insurmountable obstacle that must be circumvented. But as a cunning hunter discovered, it wasn’t an “Iron Horde” looming on the horizon, but a “Paper Horde.”
What happened? The hunter used the ability “Eagle Eye” to get a glimpse of Grommash’s horde at the Dark Portal and realized there: Blizzard saved on polygons. Instead of an army of 3D models, there is only a 2D paper army. Potemkin Orcs, so to speak.
