Requesting Unit idea/ names

In my Warriors of Gundra Map, I have came up with 5 of 6 vehicles for the Build A sides (Gundran Corps and Dwarven Liberators each have 3). I need a sixth Vehicle. Ideas?

*Also, I need some names for the unnamed units. Whatever names are used, will get a "Special Thanks to:" in the game.

Gundran Corps
-(unnamed) Main tank, Used for overall heavy vehicle support; upgrade gives it a missile barrage spell.
-(unnamed) APC that carries up to 6 (still being balenced) units; they can fire out of the APC, and the APC has a gun also.
-Corps Assistance Droid. Smallest vehicle unit in the game, it shoots shotgun-like bullets.

Dwarven Liberators
-Sythe Dart. Fast attack vehicle with 4 (balencing) cargo slots. Has a gun mounted on top (unknown what do be); possibly sniper gun.
-(unnamed) Tank that although has less HP than the Gundran tank (cannon on top also does less dmg), its cannon shoots farther and has a passive skill to attack nearby enemies (possibly a machinegun and a a tank shot; forsure a tank shot).
-Unknown unit.

Thanks for considering this and hopefly giveing me ideas :D.

For your name just search vehicle types on google an go from their.
Here are some ideas
-Truck - Can carry units (6) and has no gun of its own.
-Snowmobile - Can Carry unit (1) who can shoot while riding it. (perhaps only if it is stopped)

Name suggestions include; Raptor, Quadtruck, Hastezoomer, Saber, ScthyeDart, Hunter Killer, Blight Tank.

Would like Rep if you use please. I am trying to develop some.

So... From the Theme theory...
Robots- Strong and Mass Attack
Dwarves-Faster and Longer Range

For Names... You might want something that sounds Robotic and Heavy

1) Gundra
2) Corps Unit Support Vehicle

Dwarven Vehicle
I don't have any names for you.... But you can use Names of Animals that correspond to your vehicles
-Speed + Cargo = Pegasus? Or something...............

Hmm, yes, maybe. I will give some "Special thanks" to whatever I use. Thanks both of you!

And also, both are Dwarf. Gundra just uses robots for "meatshields", support, etc. The vehicles for the Dwarven Liberators are stronger and more mobile; DL uses numbers with afew better units for their infantry. Gundra's infantry uses Droids for meatshielding and a general support unit (laser weapon; chaos). They use less units, but some are good to kill their commanders and others for crowd control.

I like the SytheDart name. Using it for the DL APC. +rep

Yes I thought they might be both Dwarven...

I wouldn't go pegasus though, such a thing as dwarves of legend hate flying for some reason I think.

But naming them after legendary ground monsters, requires a little research and digging around in Norse mythology.


some thoughts for powerups...

watery blood, hair, elm, ash tree, bones of Ymir are important to the myths... still looking for a vehicle.

a consumable. Mead of Poetry

Dwarves are very heavy into runes and rune magic according to legend...

I suppose it really depends on how far you want to take it, but you could have a unique map.

Metal work

The Dvergar are skilled metal-workers and the makers of most of the artifacts of the gods, both Æsir and Vanir. Among their most famous creations are:

* The ship Skíðblaðnir of Freyr
* The golden hair of Sif
* The spear Gungnir of Odin
* The golden ring Draupnir of Odin, that self-replicates more gold rings
* The hammer Mjolnir of Thor
* Freyja's necklace Brísingamen
* The helmet Huliðshjálmr ("concealing helmet"), or sometimes a cloak {citation needed}, that enabled invisibility (compare later folklore, where the Nisse made a red hat enables invisibility)

and finally some tank names.

Geirstadr perhaps modified further into Gearstadr
Vaettir
Dis
Prose Edda (tank)
Ragnarok (tank)
Iron Drachen (tank)
Auroch (tank)
