If you want it set up then send me your pack and I'll do it.
Eh, you shouldn't need a cursor sound along with a death sound. I've
had units with only one of the two and the sound played. *shrug*
Try converting to mp3, maybe? To 128 kb/s. That should work.
If you want your enemy to get onto a tile and therefore you'll lose
because of that...then no, I do not believe that is possible. The
escape= flag is only specified for victory conditions, unfortunately.
