Garrisons-Warlords of Draenor

Garrisons
When you build your Garrison, you will get a few starting buildings.
The Town Hall is your main point of interaction and is automatically placed.
All profession buildings are in the Small Buildings category. They will allow you to use an engineer follower to run missions to get engineering recipes and items.
The pet stable will have a trainer you can fight.
Large buildings are something you would expect to see in a WC3 base. Each building has a bonus. For example, the barracks will let you have more followers.
Buildings start out small and are upgraded over time.
Some upgrades can be purchased, but some are blueprints that you find in the world. They can be faction rewards, quest rewards, random world drops, or found in other ways.
Specializations allow you to customize a max level building. They can be changed once each day and may have a cost. You pick from one of three specializations.
Some buildings will allow you to assign followers to them. If you find a miner follower, he can work while you are offline collecting ore.
Managing your followers will be an important part of garrisons.
Fill plots to upgrade your tier. Plots come in multiple sizes.
Followers can be sent on Quests, Scenarios, Dungeons, or Raids. Raids may take party of a week and many followers.
You put the followers into a party and send them on missions. You get a bonus if you match traits on your followers to the missions.
When you send your follower somewhere in your Garrison, you will see the follower there.
Garrisons are unique per character, so there will be some kind of way to make it faster for alts.
There is no way to invite other players to your garrison when offline. You can invite a whole 40 player raid when you are online though

A phone/browser game that grants actual in-game boons sounds pretty cool. But I'd like to play it on my phone, or in my browser. If I'm actually logged into WoW, I'd prefer to spend my time playing something in 3D.
