Well a simplified way of doing this is adding the towers of a player to a group and then check if the group is empty or not. If it is then that player has no towers left -> defeat for that player and victory for the other player.

Just make sure that at start the group is not completely empty untill the first tower has been build. Add something like a dummy unit to the group and remove it when the first tower is build so that the victory condition won't evaluate at the start of the game.

Or this ofcourse ^.^
Why is the wait there b.t.w.? Not that it matters, but still...
Isn't it better to immediately show a victory or defeat when they get destroyed?

I prefer adding a small wait, but it can be removed.
