Squads Re-Polish

[Cweb118]

Squads are rather half baked and could use some touch up.

• Make a leader position to be held by a given unit
• Make the max squad size adjustable (i.e. a variable) but set to 4 by default
• Visibility: Squads should be represented in the following, and as such will need backend functionality:
  • The player interface as a dropdown message separate from units/buildings (to allow interactivity such as movement or leader selection)
  • Options in the Unit interface (for things such as leaving/joining squads)
  • A list in the location the squad is in to show the civics of the region (moreso pertaining to a civics update)

Questions/Things to consider:

• What happens if a leader dies? Does the squad disband? Is another unit auto-assigned as a leader?
• How does movement work? Do you move the squad as a whole? Does everyone follow the leader? Does everyone follow everyone else?
• How does individual movement work? Are units denied movement to prevent accidentally leaving the squad?
• How are squads actually created? (In a way that is most intuitive/streamlined for players)

Solution for movement: "No man left behind". Squads can only move distances that the "slowest" person can move. "No man left behind" also means that units cannot move without their squad.

Unit creation: squads are established in a GUI. First the leader is selected, and then units within the same location as the leader can be added.
