    Well hello there friends, well im very wondering because i noticed that the Units now does'nt have their first Race Name, i mean like this in Starcraft and Starcraft Broodwar the units named like this [ Protoss Zealot , Terran Marine , Zerg Zergling]

    But now i noticed they dont have Race name like this [ Zealot , Marine , Zergling ]
    See the difference my Friends, hmmm well which one would you like still, With their Race Name or With no Race Name ???
    Hope you get it :)

    Peace

    wouldn't need one; if it's slimy and scary it's a zerg
    if its a rag-tag construction and oblitorating it's terran
    if it's shiny and damn powerfull it's a protoss

    Hehe you're right. In the maps I made I always deleted those "first names" The shape and the power of the units make them easy to distinguish the races.

    I liked them, but I'm a stickler for formality.....I just think it sounds better. Zealot. Blah. Protoss Zealot. Getting there. Protoss Zealot of the Aiur Home Defense Praetorate....Oooooh yeeeeeeah.

    I like the sound of the units with race names in front, the only exception being the Zerg Zergling. I'm glad there's no Terran Terrain Roamer or Protoss Protector.

    I'll survive whatever the case, but I prefer no "first name".

    I noticed this too a while ago. I prefer the names with no first race name. I don't think it's neccesary.

    when the first game is launched nobody knew if the zealot was a terran unit or the whether the hydralisk was protoss unit, so they put race name in front of unit name so people would know which race they are, now that everybody knows, it's no longer needed

    i personally like the first name thing, it adds a sense of formality and pride to the unit's name.
    instead of: Marine
    you get: Terran Marine
    Commander (or whatever it is)
    It makes the unit feel more powerful and defined. I think there is a HUGE difference in saying, for instance:
    Thor and Terran Thor. it just sound's proper to me.
    edit: fixed weird spacing
