I do find the Orc unit names to be the least descriptive/informative terms.  As Calico_Jack points out, what are names like Fist or Fang even supposed to be in terms of unit type?  Given the two, how would you guess which represents a T2 unit?  Who would guess that a Clanguard is ranged and not spear or even infantry?

There's no mistaking a Trueshot as a ranged unit, or a Swiftsteed as mounted--even clearly T1 in that case--or Man-at-Arms, or Knight, or Runerider, or Phalanx...  In many cases it's even easy to guess what tier the unit is in.

i feel the most important changes would be Clan Guardsmen and Clanguard

Also Fist and Fang being extremely lazy names

My Kobolds don't want to be changed... they are happy serving me as they are.

Kobolds - are not generally part of the greenskin species in other fantasy games and codes. I think they usally are equated with rats.

I think in Illy lore the kobolds, goblins and orcs are collectively referred to as greenskins.
