For some reason , the Keep design used in Warcraft III was combined with the barracks design of Warcraft III to create the type used in World of Warcraft ( it is unknown if this is a lore or gameplay detail ) .

Similarly , the Horde Stronghold design was combined with the Horde barracks of Warcraft III ( which changed little since the second war ) to create the structure used in " World of Warcraft " . Though , the same model is not used for both structure types ; the old barracks design went to the Stronghold ( minus the rear fifth tower for some reason ) , and a new , more open design ( based on the style from Warcraft III ) was created for the Horde barracks .
