Ideally, yeah. Both are geographically fairly close, which probably means the highest chance they'll be able to meaningfully support us somehow. And in case of the high elves, we might be able to convince them to outright join us.Well... That won.
Should we try simultaneous Elven/Dwarven diplomacy now?
I mean, the traditional enmity is absent but air cavalry and magic support would both be useful right now...

I was talking more about the High Elven refugees. But yeah; getting into contact with the Blood Elves would probably be good as well; if we take in the High Elves it probably will hurt relations a bit, but we might still be able to at least coordinate a little.Well, subverting them before the horde get the blood elves would be great. So long we prove that we aren't another Garithos we should be fine.
How much of an advantage will the Alliance have over the Horde if the Scarlet Crusade/KIngdom of Lordaeron and High/Blood elves join the Alliance, manage to convince the Wildhammer Dwarves and the remaining neutral Human kingdoms to also join early into the Alliance, and destroy the Forsaken?
Well, the horde won't have a staging point.
Which is good, avoids the whole conflict really.
We could help the Alliance's small wars against the small factions within the Eastern Kingdom like the Trolls, Gnolls, and others. Hell, we could help the Gnomes reclaim Gnomeregan.None up North anyway. Unless they manage to convince a significant number of Trolls...
And that's If we even join the Alliance again. They have downsides as well as upsides.
Personally, I would enjoy a Northern Alliance, Southern Alliance, Old Horde, New Horde and Night Elves split. 5 sides basically(though getting rid of the Old Horde would be a Good Thing). If we merge into the Alliance and bring the Wildhammer and High Elves into it I fear we'd become the world's sole superpower. Which has a fairly high chance of leading to complacency(and/or change the quest into something Diplomacy/Intrigue oriented, which our faction isn't equipped for).
I agree with getting rid of the Scourge and Trolls.I rather doubt we'll be a superpower anytime soon. Even without the tens/hundreds of thousands of undead, there's also the trolls, ogres, gnolls, syndicate, and various other issues to deal with. I rather doubt we'll "finish" with any of that for a long time.
Personally, I'd rather we form a sort of "let's actually work to clean existing shit up before starting new crap". Ie, stay out of Horde/Alliance conflict(s) and focus on dealing with the Scourge, trolls, etc.
I'd prefer to try to ressurect the Forsaken. I mean their souls are still hanging around, maybe get some bronze dragons to reverse time on their bodies...How much of an advantage will the Alliance have over the Horde if the Scarlet Crusade/KIngdom of Lordaeron and High/Blood elves join the Alliance, manage to convince the Wildhammer Dwarves and the remaining neutral Human kingdoms to also join early into the Alliance, and destroy the Forsaken?

The timeways are many and varied. In this one, our history is the right history. It's only changing history if time travel is involved.I don't think bronze dragons are our biggest fans, what with our changing history and whatnot.
I don't see why we'd ever want to mess around with necromancy after it destroyed our kingdom.I'd prefer to try to ressurect the Forsaken. I mean their souls are still hanging around, maybe get some bronze dragons to reverse time on their bodies...

Because it would allow us to help to bring back the lost souls that are currently wandering the landscape as undead abominations and kinda want to stay alive. It's a pragmatic solution that'll hopefully prevent the Foresaken from going as retardedly evil as they did in canon.I don't see why we'd ever want to mess around with necromancy after it destroyed our kingdom.
Basically this. Necromancy was already creepy and evil before it nearly wiped out the Eastern Kingdoms. Now? Now it's pitchforks and torches at the slightest sign of the stuff.Our people aren't going to be pragmatic about using the very magic that almost completely destroyed our kingdom.
