Hi, just a heads up. You can use SETTERRAIN in CombatEndTurn.CAS. Refer to the 2 screenshots below. I tested some of your code out in my project and it worked out fine. So, you really should be moving them from UnitCalc.CAS. 

Is it happened before combat start? or it happen on the first end turn?

If the player is the attacker, this occurs at the end of the Defender's 1st turn.

If you want it to occur before that, you will have to force it via unitcalc.CAS. But there is a way to mitigate that.
For the zeroth until the end of the defender's 1st turn,
1. Call your function X times, then stop after that. Use a variable in MASTER.CAS to track this via MASTERSET.
2. Remeber to reset this variable at ENDOFCOMBAT.CAS as well STARTOFCOMBAT.CAS. The reason for the latter is because AI vs AI Fights will call STARTOFCOMBAT.CAS several times on multiple fights to pick the best 1, and only call ENDOFCOMBAT.CAS on the most optimal fight. (Yes this is how the CPU cheats!)
3. (2) can be ignored if you cater to your function to avoid SETTERRAIN type functions by checking against fights without a human player.
Use IF (Attacker()<>W) %OR (Defender()<>W) THEN {}

This should be the basics but should work.

Thank you. I will use function switch on-off for that. Also human player is always player 0 in current state of game engine. so if you want script to simplified, to detect combat fight by human is to detect either attack or defender is player 0.

@Mewcatus, how to detect variable set by mastervarset? I have not seen how in script.txt.

@Mewcatus, how to detect variable set by mastervarset? I have not seen how in script.txt.

1. Declare the variable name in MASTER.CAS
CombatDummy = 0; : Used to track a counter :

2. To access it another script like COMBATENDTURN.CAS
IF (CombatDummy=0) THEN : Detecting/Accessing it :
{
     MASTERVARSET CombatDummy = CombatDummy + 1; : Usage :
}

Think of it as a global variable you can read and write to. Try to use a more descriptive name, to avoid duplication errors.

If you need further detailed examples, pick a random globle variable I declared in my MASTER.CAS and track it in my other scripts. This should help you.

When you select the option to ban a certain race. Is that supposed to ban the race completly from the game or just ban the AI to start with it?
Like should neutral cities still be able to be that race then?

Banned AI from pick it on its home plane. If you banned all native race of that plane completely, it will pick any race from other plane at random, included banned ones. It does not banned player from picking it nor neutral cities of that race to be spawned.
