Monkey trouble (restricting a mission to 30+)

I'm trying out the Architect mission for the first time, and trying to create a mission with some Rikti monkeys and a custom boss. There trouble I'm running into is that when a low-level character tests it, the only mobs in the mission are the custom boss.

How can I restrict the mission to characters of level 30+?

Currently I have a custom group composed of the following mobs:

Minions:
Rikti Monkey (30-33)
Rikti Monkey (30-30)
Rikti Monkey (30-30)
Rikti Monkey (30-30)
Vicious Rikti Monkey (38-54)

Lieutenant:
Custom NPC 1 (1-54)

Boss:
Custom NPC 2 (1-54)

In the mission I also have two patrols of monkeys, and an ambush of monkeys.

Are those all in the same group? I suggest splitting the custom characters in their own group. If they're all together, the group will be a 1-54 group. A group consisting only of the monkies will be 30+ and should set your level range the way you want it.

That did it! It's working as expected now, and I published my first mission!

If you have a chance to try it out, let me know what you think. It was mainly a rough draft to try out the Architect system, but I tried to make it amusing and with a little challenge at the end.

I had to re-publish after changing a few things, so try it under the new Arc ID, 51120.

As a rule..

[u]Adding to a a custom group expands the range.[u] The range will be the total of all in the group. If you put a 20-40 faction in a group with a 30-50 faction, then the range of the mission will be 20-50. At 20-29 you'll get just the first faction; at 30-40, you'll get both factions; at 41-50 you'll get just the second faction.

[u]Adding a separate custom group (or objective) will restrict the range[u]. The range will be the narrow range in which all the groups/objective overlap. If you put a 20-40 faction in a group with a 30-50 faction, then the range of the mission will be 30-40 and both factions will appear in that range.
