There are different types of horde: Ambush, Far Vector, Trickle and Flood.
They are self explanatory: Ambush are the ambush hordes, Far Vectors are the horde waves you see just ambiently around, Trickle are enemies that spawn in groups that “trickle” in to keep you entertained, and Flood are the hordes that have the warcry.
This is meant to be more esoteric and not really meant as something that really matters unless you really want to minmax pacing or are purely curious about the pacing settings
