Yet another Panama Canal event problem.
Ok, after instituting the fix recommended by some helpful folks here, the event I set up to create the American Panama Canal worked. If the Americans take the city, the event creates a text message and removes a terrain square, changing it to ocean. So, then I tried to create another two events subsituting the British and French in place of the Americans. After creating these events, I got the events-error message again when I ran the scenario. I looked at the two new events, and they seem identical with the American event that I copied them from. It may be that the events file is too full though. At any rate, I'll post these two events here so that others can look them over and tell me if I'm missing something. Btw, the American version of this event does work perfectly--the text appears and the terrain changes.

@IF
CITYTAKEN
city=Panama
attacker=French
defender=Independent nations
@THEN
TEXT
France has fomented a revolution in Panama and recognized the new government within days! Very Quickly, construction begins on a Panama Canal.
ENDTEXT

Well for one thing in the British version of the event it says
defender=Indepedent nations, which is not the same as the French version that says defender=Independent nations.

That would cause an error.

If it's not a spelling problem and to see if the event file is too full, take out 2 other events temporarily and see what happens.

Just what I was looking for.
Right you are. And thank you, Carl. It works like a charm now.

Bad spelling or too many events?

It was just . . .
the bad spelling. After I changed that, I put both events back in and everything worked. I tested it and the Brit and French events worked no problem.
