_You should make them more original, but base them after something. Like for instance base them off of another language.

_I'm sure you can find some online translations of other languages.

_I think something derived from Latin or Spanish would sound good.

You could use my Elvish Human translation if you want to.

This is Map Assistance.

Here is a good site for translating. You need to subscribe, but it's free and you only need you e-mail.

He is requesting help about his unit name ideas so it belongs in the Ideas and Group Projects section.

Well ... the most original one is, obviously: ORCS!!! Lol just kidding. Try something like...

- Efrum the retarded rabbit (He's like, the ultimate boss)
- Billy the mentally challenged bunny (he's a mini boss)
- Cabbage fiend (They fart

particles at you)

-----
Just Kidding... again
-----
How about this, everyone gets shrunk down somehow by a supernatural light.
They were playing pool or something and end up on the pool tabel. The light
effects the billiard balls and they begin rolling around due to a magnetic charge
in the air. And they squish you... and stuff....

ADDITION:
Sinister X... Okay your descriptions are weird.
Map Making Skill: Average
Type: Don't make maps

Then you go and say, "im working on a new map i have thought of several
creature names for zerg units..."
-----...Wtf is up with that....-----

You could try cantonese names. For instance, Ultralisk could be Fei-lo(fat guy) or zealots could be Lei-Geem(sharp sword). I could translate if you like.

...
Kouga...
Those are the most overused names, except for a couple of the robot ones, which just sound akward and stupid...

Just about anyone can think of names like those...
Hell, looking at the names in an Rp map would be better...
