Your thinking of arakvar seige engines.....
Go starship troopers all over those creepy bugs.
I am not amused.

LOL'd .. you would produce the one manufacturer prone to IP madness. Though they cant IP words like Orc, they did IP the word 'Tap'. forestalling many decent clones. I did quit playing Magic after beta when they tubed my collecting and selling of the more valuable cards :(

So far as I know .. no one has IP'd ( Intellectual Property) any fantasy race names. So I would believe you are good to go on borrowing whatever names you want.

Sorry Shrapnel, I misread your first post. Well I like it better too, but being both a simple combination of two words Goblin + Sapper (which anyone can use) and a unit in a copyrighted game I don't know if we can use it,  but I'll ask Stormcrow what he thinks.

Sry for the misunderstanding.

Sincerely Gromsh
