Why doesn't this work?

[Stilgar]

Okay, this is my first attempt at coding out a scenario by hand, using some of the default ones as a reference, and I can't figure out what is wrong with it. The map appears as it should, as far as I can explore it, but as soon as I end my first turn the game ends with "You have been defeated!"

Any clue what I did wrong?

(Yes, this is somewhat incomplete, as you can see I haven't put in the "death of 3 or more henchmen" condition yet, but that's not the issue, and I don't see what's in here that's making it break.)

My guess is that it's because of the canrecruit=0 of side 1. Change it to canrecruit=1 to see if it was really the cause. You can have an empty recruit list, so there's really no great drawbacks to setting it to 1, even if you don't want the player to be able to recruit anything in the scenario.

You probably also want to add controller=ai to the definition of side 2.

Yes, I made both those changes and it works now. Thanks.
