Hello!

I am nearly completed with my custom race map. But since english is not my native language, I have a bit of trouble to find good names to name these units on the picture below.

From left to right I just call them:
- Tree. (Elven food building)
- Protector. (Bulky melee unit)
- Keeper. (Travels over the map to gold mines far away and returns with gold! An advanced worker.)
- Faerie. (Summons buildings and harvest lumber. "Faerie" sound so silly)
- Lore. (Bulky magic unit with powerful spells.)

Have a look at the picture below.

Let your mind flow! Do not censur yourself!
Write down every name you come up with!

Thanks for all ideas!

If english is the problem, why not give it a name in swedish and use a dictionary in to translate in english?

You are right about that, that I can translate swedish words like "Älva" into Faerie and so on. But I am looking for more unusal and creative names like these that came up: "Forest Haven" "Sprite" and "Ironbak treeant"
Names that gives a little more edge to units then just the rough translation. But my imagination has halted a bit, even thought I sure could come up with own english words or Swedish words and just translate them, it is more fun to get ideas from other people aswell :)


People! I have one more name request. Have a look at the picture below.


The first farm is a Goblin Farm. It can be upgraded into an "advanced farm".

The Advanced Farm can load a few number of goblins into it and has an unload ability called Dig!. That means that the farm can let the loaded goblins "dig" a tunnel to target location on the map and unload the goblins on that spot.

But I have no idea what that building can be called.

All ideas are welcome!

First Tier - Goblin Pigsty, Goblin Slaughterhouse, Goblin Bazzar Goblin Marketplace...

Second - "Addon: Tunnel Entrance, Tunnel, Tunneling Equipment. ( Meannig that in the upgrade tooltip you say that the goblins upgrade the farm with a Tunnel or Tunneling Module and call the bulding a name with tunnel as a suffix or prefix." - or, Goblin Ranch, Goblin Feedlot Ranch, Feedlot,
