my code I am using for a scenario (which I have correctly set to load within Modbuddy) fails to have an effect in-game. In FireTuner I am told that the cause of this is a "chunk has too many syntax levels" in line 739, specifically: as someone new (very new) to lua, what exactly does this mean? How can I fix it?
"Noob" question: what is a "chunk has too many syntax levels" error?

Specifically, "chunk has too many syntax levels"
This is caused by doing too many operations at once.
It can result from:
Too many operations (e.g. Doing 500 concatenations in a single expression)
Too many nested control statements (Loops, if statements, etc)
So as you're not doing operations it MUST be the control statements.
Re-check the syntax if the Lua if statement, it is not "if condition then statement(s)" but "if condition then statement(s) end"
Your code is missing several hundred ends

Thanks; I've followed your advice and the code is now working - granted, the game crashes on a specific AI's turn immediately following the player's turn, but the code works and has an effect in-game. It seems I still have much to learn.
