Would just like to highlight two of Blizzard answers indicating some very important custom map improvements that are possible in a future patch. There exists several more possible future improvements in there forum post (http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/627976600#3) and I suggest reading them all.

Q. (Bibendus) - Are you going to fix the keyboard/mouse control lag? 90% of custom games are ruined by this.
A. We will be improving keyboard and mouse control in a future patch, but we can't match the responsiveness of an FPS game with an authoritative server. Keyboard-based unit movement should be as responsive as issuing move orders with the mouse after these changes.

Q. (Bibendus) - Are you going to add a feature to store banks on server so they can't be viewed/edited/corrupted by users or concurrent maps?
A. Bank protection will be added in a future patch to allow mapmakers to prevent users from modifying their bank data (optionally).
Units facing does not return 0 -> 359,9999... but -179,9999... -> 180. You can set an angle to say, 350, but it will return -10. Could maybe be affecting your triggers. I'd assume this "degree standard" is true for any kind of angle.
When taking cosine and sine of angles (which is what you need to send as the actor message) it doesn't matter if the angle is measured from -180 to 180 or 0 to 360. The cosine of -10 degrees is 0.984907753 and is the same as the cosine for 350 degrees, the sine of -10 degrees is -0.1736481777 and is the same as the sine of 350 degrees. So that cannot be the issue.
5. Use name-item sequences. Here is the format - [name]'s [noun]. Here are some examples - Yao's Strength, Twinmold's Might, Mozard's Hammer, Queen's Shield.
He has got to use Twinmold's Might as his factions name.
You are in no position to have requirements on what people should create as their entry. If you do not want to participate in the contest in it's current form then don't. While you are fully entitled to have your opinion you post as if people that play World Of Warcraft or like it in anyway have no right to have theirs. Please refrain from posting if you are going to continue in this fashion. Take this as a warning.
The game only sends that kind of information to the server at certain times so you would need to change the actual game engine for that to work. The map would then be unpublishable and non-playable for anyone that doesn't have the modified version of the game engine.

As the post above me says Hatcherys doesn't have the train Zergling ability, it's the Larvas that do, so you need to issue an order to them..

Unburrow has autocast by default, activating it makes the unit unburrow automatically once an enemy comes near.

Move this discussion somewhere else as the on-topic is getting his thread hijacked because of it.

Maybe they are created from an manufactured zombie virus? Then they don't have to be cyber bear zombies.

Union of Advancement.
As the force consists of people from different backgrounds I would atleast suggest Union or something similar to be included in the name.

That sounds more like something out of Warhammer 40000.
