I'm considering creating my first campaign, where you would have mostly Lobsters as well as other Sunken Ruins units. Obviosly modified units to have a techtree, upgrades, abilities, etc.
I've already created a "demo" map, with about 75% of the units but it has some errors. Before I go ahead and create 10 levels i want to know if its worth the time and effort.

Well, a lobster-based campaign seems a little limited. Some amount of variety and interesting differences create some of the dynamic that makes a campaign interesting.

However, if you keep that in mind and build a campaign that has innovative techniques to keep your armies interesting, I wouldn't hold it against you.

Heres what i've got so far (Instead of Makura I've called them Lobstrokk, based on the unit sound set and it sounded cooler)

Tidal Lord (Hero) - Purple Makura (tinted so he looks reddish)
Lobstrosity (Fighter) - Red Makura
Lobstrokk Hunter (Ranged) - Green Makura
Lobstrokk Contraption (Siege) - Orc Catapult (Reign of Chaos Style)
Hermit Shaman (Spellcaster) - Hermit Crab (enlarged of course)
Oktonokk (Spellcaster) - Dalaran Reject (supposed to look like octopus)
Worker Crab (Worker) - Crab (size increased slightly)

I'm thinking either a Sea Giant of large Spider Crab for a heavy melee. The Hermit Shaman's attack is Siege, not magic, for en extra siege attack. I cant think of a flyer but might use Couatl or Dragon.

Any Suggestions are appreciated!

yeah, catapult doen't fit in the theme too well. an amphibious siege weapon would be very nice.

Heres what ive got for enemies
Pirates :
Pirate King (Hero) - Admiral Proudmoore
Marauder (Melee) - Bandit
Assassin (Ranged) - Brigand
Catapult (Siege) - Catapult
Captain (Heavy melee) - Bandit Lord
Frigate (Sea Ranged) - Undead Frigate
War Vessel (Sea Siege) - Undead Battleship

Any Suggestions here (names are helpful too, these aren't very creative)?

Enemy spellcaster, hmmm. Should sound pirate-like. Spells would be like Water attacks or Undead stuff or Curses. Name...? Hmm, tell me if you can get a good name for it.
Otherwise I only need air units for you and enemy. Heres some ideas i've got:
Lobsters -
Couatl, Dragon, Fairie Dragon, Chimaera
Pirates -
Sky Barge or Zepplin w/ attack, Gryphon Rider

There aren't may options for flyers, escpecially Neutral Hostile.
