Faction Commander

Functions and improvements:
1. Command System
Default:	Your soldiers would extend their influence slowly.
Cancel:		Your soldiers would cancel their current action and wait for orders.
Expansion:	Your soldiers would extend their influence aggressively. They could attack and capture spawn points and resource points.
Assemble:	Your soldiers would come to the position where their commander stands. Then they would follow the commander.
Attack:		Your soldiers would attack the positions which are the current targets of the "faction war". They would attack the next points after the capture.
Defend:		Your soldiers would defend the positions where your enemy faction attacks.

Green Code:		Only the soldiers who have nothing to do would take the action. Thus the magnitude of this type of action is very small.
Yellow Code:	Most soldiers of your faction would participate in the action, only one squad of every territory of your faction would be kept to defend. The magnitude of this type of action is relatively large.
Red Code:		All soldiers, except the soldiers who have something to do with quests and storyline, would participate in the action. So the magnitude of action could be very large.

2. Artificial Intelligence
Disable:	Non-player factions could execute the Default Command.
Normal:		Non-player factions could execute the Expansion, Attack and Defend Command, and the action code is Green.
Hard:		Non-player factions could execute the Expansion, Attack and Defend Command, and the action code is Yellow.
Insane:		Non-player factions could execute the Expansion, Attack and Defend Command, and the action code is Red.

3. Territory Capture
In the vanilla Clear Sky, every territory allows only one faction to enter and capture it. 
After capture, other faction have to eliminate the soldiers in the territory to recapture it.
However, when the two factions are friends it's impossible to recapture the territory because they can't attack each other.
If the uncapturable territory is an important target in the "faction war", your process of "faction war" would become stagnant.
I have removed the restriction. When a territory is captured by faction A, faction B could recapture it if B brings soldiers as many as two times of A.

4. Pathfinding improvement
The path finding script in vanilla Clear Sky is buggy. I have fixed it.
Currently almost every points in the map are accessible.

5. Respawn improvement
The respawn algorithm in vanilla Clear Sky is also buggy.
In vanilla version, when respawning is invoked, all creatures would be spawned in one point instantly, which could cause some problems such as CTD and lag.
The improved respawn algorithm spawn creatures in random points nonsimultaneously. Thus it's more robust.

6. Cut creatures return
The cut creatures: zombie, chimera, cat, burer would be respawned in respawn point now.
The zombie could appear in all maps.

7. Summon Soldier
Commander could spawn a squad of the same faction as the commander instantly.

8. Faction Changer
You could join five faction freely, they are: loner, bandit, freendom, duty, clearsky.
You cann't join "special factions" in this version of mod.

9. Add to the amount of soldiers of every faction

10. Ingame User Interface
The summon soldier button could be found in here.
