Map Optimization

Does it make any difference if you create new units/items/abilities/etc.. rather then editing the already existing ones?

I heard that it can influence loading time, more custom units will increase the loading time.

Because there are more overall units to load if you make more custom units, rather then editing.

Thanks. I've heard that it doesn't matter with item so I was unsure.

Does it really matter? Editing abilities will make your map more disorganized and your loading time will still increase because you modified the ability. Loading time is increased by custom data, so if you make 100+ custom units without editing them it wouldn't increase loading time.. I think.

If you don't want a long loading time, there's always Widgetizer.

Btw, even 200+ custom objects without using Widgetizer increases loading by only ~30 - 45 seconds.
