I found the macro with the code you posted. There are several problems with it, but most of them are the same kind: You don't seem to know that you can only use tags and keys in specific places. If you look at the wiki, you can see that [option] in [message] can take two different keys. Only two. You can't put [set_variable] or [store_locations] there. The game is ignoring those tags. Likewise, you can't put [village] inside [have_location] (or side=... inside [village] either). You have similar errors in other parts of your code.

Also, this is the wrong place for some of these conditionals. Some of them should go in the [show_if] of [set_menu_item] instead of the [show_if] of [option]. Checking to see if the hex is a village here isn't useful, because the game is already showing the message about villages at this point.

I hope check "village owner",only village owner can use the optoin change village owner,how do?

Start by removing all invalid key and tags from where they currently are. Then look where they are allowed to be.

Ok,i fix it,but i have a iuess,how Quickly locate WMLcode placed in the wrong location?

Ok,is work,but auto delete forest,if have forest in build hex,i hope only add villvge.

Wouldn't a person cut down trees to build a house?

You seem to want one hex to be forest and village at the same time, which can't happen in the game. There must be separate terrains in each hex. If you mean that you want to see a building with trees surrounding it very close to its walls, you would need to draw that yourself, and create terrain codes for it too. I don't think anyone has done this before because it would be a lot of work: There would be thousands of possibilities of tree and building types mixed together, and it wouldn't really benefit the game very much.

Oh,I try use "^Cv" add Castle and "^Cva" add "Main Castle",but can not work
i hope only add Castle or "Main Castle"
case:
Village+Flat→Village+Castle+Flat
Forest+Flat→Forest+Castle+Flat
Flat→Flat+Castle
These mixed terrain exists in some "campaign maps",I hope to know how to add it directly instead of covering the terrain.

Schema validation would help, but is not so easy to set up. So for you its better to test which tag is not working, and verify that documentation allows them used that way.

Or you can just do the documentation checking process for each tag. If tag or attribute used inside specific tag is not referenced in outer tag documentation, it is usually not doing anything.

This does not work because castles are base terrains, not overlays.

Village+Flat→Village+Castle+Flat
Forest+Flat→Forest+Castle+Flat
Flat→Flat+Castle

Each hex can have one base, and one overlay. That is the limit. Since castle and flat are both bases, you can't have both of them together. That combination does not exist in any map. Forest and village are both overlays, so you can't put them together, but you can put either one on top of castle or flat. You can use the map editor with the terrain codes visible to see this information. (To see something like Cv^Fp in the map editor, place the castle then hold [Shift] while placing the forest on it.)

test which tag is not working, and verify that documentation allows them to be used that way

That is how I do it.

Saurgrath.map(in Legend_of_Wesmere) 20.21 is Village+Castle+Flat
data2.map contains the effect I want to achieve
5.1 to 7.1
5.3 to 7.3
5.5 to 7.5
5.7 to 7.7
Is there WML code OR lua OR define that can do this without listing all "base terrain" lookup tables?
base ONLY Coastal Reef;Deep Water;Shallow Water;Swamp add Shallow Water+Castle code [Cme]
base ONLY Frozen add Frozen+Castle code [Cva]
base other:Castle code [Cv]
(only change base)

[beetlenaut]

I am guessing that "Saurgrath" is the map called "Saurian Treasury" in my version. The hex (20,21) is a castle with a village on it. It has the terrain code "Ko^Vd".

You can type the command ":show_terrain_codes" during the game to see that. The map editor also has a button on the top right to show the same codes. You can load the data2.map into the game or editor and check the terrain codes for the effects you want to achieve. None of them will have Village+Castle+Flat because the game doesn't allow it.

Edit: I don't understand the last part of your post, but this is a list of all base terrains if that's what you want.
