squad leader disappers, squad disappers, but still is as squad useable, etc. instead of just giving the squad leader the new "rank"

It would be helpful to upload the modded entity raws that are causing the problem. You can upload them to http://pastebin.com/ [^] and post the link here.

the full raws (but with new raws without the bug) are here: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2176 [^]

the old ones then here:

as you see i simply use the replace_by and population needed tags, and slightly different settings (only 1 outpost captain possible and the outpost commander got less room req.)

the idea was to make game a little more interesting for my drow mod to have a outpost at first but then move up to "house" and get more noble options. but as i said this gets really confusing in the noble/military screen if you have outpost com/cap assigned and then get the 20 pop and move "up"

Still looking this over, but one of your problems is that your
[POSITION:OUTPOST_CAPTAIN] has
[REPLACED_BY:OUTPOST_CAPTAIN].

That line is redundant and should be removed if there isn't an actual progression taking place or replaced with the correct position name if you meant it to be a promotion.

I'll pretend I understood what you said.

Did making that change fix the problem?

yeah... the fix is "not using replace tag for squad leader posistions" :p

aka i dont use outpost captains and house captains dont have the pop req ;)
