squad.controller.js

/*
	The squad controller manages creating squads of attacking creeps using one or more spawns and grouping 
	them up before sending off to complete their mission.

	The squad controller uses brown flags with secondary coloursin the following manner:
	secondary:
		-brown : squad name
		-blue : one for each member to be spawned
		-green : checkpoints in the format SQUAD_#_(final)
		-purple : spawn_list
		-orange:  the flag is idle
