That display message won't display the message to anyone but the computer though.
So you should have the trigger set a switch instead of giving defeat. Like this:
Conditions (for computer players)
Computer brings at least 1 men to location 'endGame'.
Actions
Set switch 'endGame'.
Conditions (for all players losing the game)
Switch 'endGame' is set.
Actions
Display message for current player 'You sux0rz!!1ONEONE'.
End scenario in defeat for current player.

You people never inclde the players part of the trigger. Its important. :/
Players: Defenders
Conditions: Comp Player brings at least 1 men to "meh"
Actions: Display Text: You lose becuase you're losers.
End scenario in defeat for current player.
It really is that simple.

I love this. We all know how to map stuff, yet we can never agree on the right way to do it. We all tend to get the same effect done, but never go about it the same way.

You want them to move, right? Then ORDER them to move instantly after arriving at that location.
Conditions
Always.
OR
Player brings at least 1 men to location 'Start move'.
Actions
Order all men for Player at location 'Start move' move to location 'Stop here'.
Preserve Trigger.

This is a defense map. You want them to not attack, so have them move.
But you want them to attack when they are walled in, so keep them unallied.

Its to do with what you use, i can't remember at the moment, but one "Order" Style will make them ignore being attacked; while the other will cause them to attack as they go. A little advice, maybe make a time limit to each round and remove them after that, say if the player walls, and they get stuck, so that they lose the kills; i'm not sure...

Move to = They will move, and not attack untill they have reached their destination.
Attack to = They will move, and only attack if they are attacked themselves, or if blocked.
Patrol to = They will attack everything along to way to their destination, and they will patrol the given corse indefinately.

There; thanks! Well thats the different settings, each with their own effects. Another possibility is to make hte defences invincable for a small period, and after that period they won't be; because it has taken too long for the units to get through, so they can attack the defenders.
