There are four types of horde: Flood, Far Vector, Trickle, and Ambush.

They are easy to understand: Ambush is the ambush-hordes, Far Vectors the horde wave you see just around, Trickle enemies that “trickle in” to keep you entertained, Flood are the hordes with the warcry, and Flood are the enemies that spawn in groups.

This is more esoteric than it is. It’s not meant to be something that matters unless you want minimax pacing or are just curious about the pacing settings.
