1: You want to spawn wisps and villagers... but from your other posts, it seems like each player only has one villager; so what do you mean by spawning?

3: You need to place a region with a region palette. You can then use that region to spawn units in it.

4: Again, regions. You place regions over areas where you want wisps to die and then for each region, you write a trigger:

Code:

Events:
  A unit enters Region1
Conditions:
  unit-type of entering unit equal to wisp
Actions:
  unit - kill (event response - entering unit)
  unit - create 1 Whateverunityouwanttospawnatthatregion at centre of (Region1)

5: With triggers, create a timer, create a timer window for the timer, and then, with another trigger, on event "a timer expires", use the actions "game - victory" and "game - defeat".

6: Event - elapsed game time is equal to 45 seconds ; use a similar event for the trigger to create the timer from question 5 at the start of the map.

7: trigger action: game - display text message

Anitarf	Can't you just preplace the units? Otherwise, you spawn units with the unit-create unit action.
