Defeat when game begins - Defeat conditions?

[lazyanttu]

Well I have started testing my third faction and immediately when the game begins, it states that you have lost the game? The faction starts with main base and 2 workers (currently no other units are implemented on the third faction, only the worker and the base).

The main base has rally point and is able to train workers. The workers are able to build/repair the main base. Main base also stores resources and gives consumable resource.

What are the defeat conditions, and why this happens? Other factions have no problem with this, but they also start with base and 4 workers. What could have possibly gone wrong :scared:.

Does the main base have a cellmap?.

[lazyanttu]

Yes it does. I copy-pasted it from my another faction, the only thing I changed was the storage capacity, cost, hp and removed detection-ability. And of course name and models etc.

Does the main base have a be-built skill?  This is the same issue I ran into with Project Green.  Adding a be-built skill solved it.  The victory conditions (unless they're different in MG) are based on whether the faction has any units with a be-built skill left.

Yes, its the same in Megaglest

The default defeat condition is simply to have no units with a "be-built" skill alive. Could you please post the XML of this main building?

That was it! Thank you guys, now it works :D.

Actually the base is never "built" in my mod, but instead morphed from another building. So that's why I removed the "be-built" skill. So is the best method just to leave the "be-built"-skill, although it is never used?

I was sure I read about this kind of issue somewhere in the forums, but I couldn't find it.

It doesn't have to be used. With the exception of the move skill, having an extra skill that isn't used will simply be ignored (however, a unit with an unused move skill will be able to rotate, even though it won't be able to move). That's what Project Green did; the hero units were given a be-built skill, thus requiring them to be defeated to win the game.
