new level:  
you are assigned to protect a village the village has a massive military as well as a whole ton of medics and marines but the ogres have a few tricks up their sleeves they have sent a distraction party at the top to distract the villages main force but we have already noticed its a trick and are already setting up a front line the goal is to stop the ogre reinforcements from helping their southern allies but the dense terrain makes it hard to see and move so the ogre reinforcements are slow.

Hey sorry.  
Not trying to be offensive.  
Gentler version:  
Try adding some decroation.  
Sample code?  
Sorry about being a little harsh.  
I admit, my old levels were really bad.  
My old levels were just a fields filled with units.  
Lately, I have been doing multiplayer pvp games.  
this might help you, for custom entities, and other cool stuff you can try out.

I also have been criticized rather harshy when I was a noob at making levels.  
From chaboi:

1. The map is **huge** , can you try optimizing it?
2. The level takes an eternity to load. You could try helping it load faster by adding units via. referee extra code( `@instabuild()` )
3. There’s a lot of obsolete obstacles in the level. Can you remove them to prevent collisions?

4. Add decoration. The level seems extremely bland.
5. Are the witches really needed? I am unable to command or use them, so they don’t promote any interesting gameplay.
6. You should definitely try using the referee. It is important in creating interesting gameplay rather than a plain “kill ogres on map” kind of level.
7. Also some typos and grammar errors 🙂

From bryukh:  
Well, I can’t name it’s a “game pitch” 🙂

Sorry, I don’t have time to explain and teach about making levels.  
How about you put your levels for the community and ask their opinion.  
You can look into other levels to understand how to add story in them,

Sorry, but currently your levels are just an empty field with units.

You might want to make the lifespan for the level a little longer.  
I just played your level, and spammed skellys and burls.  
It said ran out of time.  
Go to systems - existence - lifespan and change it to 90.  
Then your level will last 90 seconds, instead of the default 60.

Try adding more summoning stuff, or remove some ogres.  
Go to the thing where you cn summon warlocks, and look at the hero placeholder components.  
It’s honestly really easy
