    Ok this is my idea, i'm gonna make a civilization for Starcraft except there will be 3 different races instead of different countys. (Civilization World Legacy)
    Depending on the race you choose it will allow you to do different upgrades and stuff. Like a terran player could choose to upgrade their marine to hero ones instead of staying regular ones(weaker) but a different player could try to get the tank upgrade. People can also choose to make allys/enemys start wars or keep peaceful. The races upgrade their races ages to get stronger tech/units.
    Right now i need a map terrain which i'm not good at making and some suggestions for the ages.

    voted yes for renaming. If you're trying to create a game that isn't in the Starcraft universe, renaming is obligatory.

    Custom names, so pretty much rename.

    I'll draft a terrain if you want, but I can't do anything fancy.

    Can be fantasy-style:
    Ages have no "Age" in them.

    Dawn of Ages
    Rising Ages
    Discovery Age
    War of Dragons (?)
    Dark Ages
    Age of Might
    The Fall
    Age of Magic
    Fantasy Age

    Good luck. It gets REALLY complicated later. Maybe you should also choose starting locations as well?

    I kinda want a Earth ish type but I guess any is fine. It has to be a map size of 255x255 which is max I think but the top and bottem has some parts which I can add race advancements and other junk i need.

    I kinda like those ages. Terran will be the Human side so i'll go with sorta thing.
    Dark Ages
    Rising Ages
    Discovery Age
    Age of Might
    The Protoss will be like the advance aliens and I might have to borrow some names from the Sc Wiki.
    The Zerg I need help cause I can't really think of anything to base it on.

    The Undead?
    The random monsters lurking in the night?

    The Vampires? :p

    I'll draft a map, if you want. Is this like SC, alternate universe, or like some fantasy, medieval or something?

    And there's always my old ****ty world map.

    Marine could be Archer? Ghost could be Longbow? Siege Tank could be Siege Engine? Firebat could be Knight?

    Goliath - Mech / Knight / Paladin
    Wraith - Griffin / Fighter / Plane / Jet
    Dropship - Dropship / Blimp
    Battlecruiser - Dragon / Cruiser / Battleship
    Science Vessel - Magic Orb / Seer / Science Platform
    Valkyrie - Sky Paladin / Frigate

    Buildings
    Command Center - Base / City / Major City
    Supply Depot - Living Quarters / Outpost / City
    Refinery - Deep Mine / Magic Mine / Gas Refinery
    Barracks - Barracks / Training Grounds / Boot Camp
    Engineering Bay - Armory / Blacksmiths / Weapons Facility
    Missile Turret - Torch / Turret / Missile Base
    Academy - Healer's Hall / Training Grounds / Academy
    Bunker - Fort / Fortification / Bunker / Base
    Factory - Stables / Siege Workshop / Factory
    Starport - Starbase / Dragon Roost / Airport
    Armory - Weapons Research / Armory
    Science Facility - Research Center / Magic Tower
    Comsat - Magic Tower / Tower of Seeing
    Nuke Silo - Altar / Nuke Silo
    Machine Shop - Siege Workshop / Mechanics
    Control Tower - Dragon Roost / Control Tower
    Physics Lab - Taming Grounds / Advanced Control Tower / Cruiser Command
    Covert Ops - Ranger Training / Command Training

    etc.

    Terrans basic units should be like fantasy and the more stronger ones will be like tech. Any suggestions on Zerg/Protoss?
    Right now I need the map terran to be decided.You guys want a map that looks like Earth or do you want me to design a unique looking map.

    But do you like those names?

    I'll do Zerg, Protoss, and Hero units too.

    And I think new map will be fine. Too many Earths.

    For earth ish terrain, you should go with badlands tileset, or jungle.

    Please rename too.

    It doesn't matter if you aren't doing Earth. Randomly place terrain, but make sure it has open spaces and etc.
