Soooooo... Uther is level 10, and Arthas can get level 6 in this mission, right? Why not just off the civilians in batches 12 and resurrect them with the Paladin ults? I get Arthas didn't think of it - he's Arthas. Uther is clearly scheming something and does not care about the lives of normal people, otherwise he wouldn't have just walked away in the face of his uppity underling trying to fire him upon deciding to genocide the locals. But Jaina? She's supposed to be smart, so there is no way she wouldn't think of something like that. She's a foreign Princess too though... Maybe she thinks a civil war in Lordaeron would benefit her realm, and the whole "woo Arthas for a convenient royal marriage" approach would be too much of an L for her, now that she sees how dumb and unhinged the brat is? A truly deep and multidimentional drama this mission is. Not enough Lord Garithos though.
I feel you kind of have to separate the concept of resurrection in the game from the game's plot. It is true that when someone dies in the game you can resurrect them via an alter or a tavern or via Resurrection ultimate, but within the plot there is no indication that Paladins can resurrect people back to life. Game mechanics and plot are separate things. As for Uther leaving its important to remember that Arthas had invoked his authority as a Prince to command Uther not to get involved, so Uther had no choice but to escalate matters to the King, hopefully thereby preventing the massacre of Stratholme. Paladins follow the Light yes, but they answer to the King, so they cant just go against the Prince. As for Jaina, she is still too young at this stage and too inexperienced. She was sent to assist Arthas as Antonidas' apprentice, not as the Lord Admiral she became in WoW. It is in WoW that she becomes older and takes more responsibility and grows in power, but here she is green, therefore any expectations should be tempered I feel like.

Nice touch for the devs adding already-undead units in some of the houses. Gives evidence to Arthas' claim that the city must fall.
The slow walk is hilarious
Quite the irony that Knights are unlocked for a mission so contrarian to their noble mission.
Kinda like in WC2, when paladins first appear to watch over the peasants that have revolted against the Alliance in Tyr's Hand.

Arthas did nothing wrong
What we have here... is a failure...
... to communicate...
