Summary

0009224: Invaders stop pathing when squad leaders die

Description

Pretty straightforward, this is a fort that has a siege of 0000036:0000100 goblins, and as soon as each of the squad leaders dies, the rest of the 0000090:0000090 or so goblins stop pathing/invading and stand around doing nothing, forever.

Steps To Reproduce

Unpause the save, wait for the invasion to enter the fort. Watch the siege invaders stop pathing once all the invasion-squad leaders are dead.

A quick and easy solution to this problem is that if a squad leader dies, a surviving invasion squad member should be instantly promoted to invasion squad leader and continue the invasion, repeating as necessary until there are no more squad members, or it's time for the squad/invasion/siege to flee.
