1. an armed goblin encounter occurs
2. i pressed town defense
3. assertion failure fills debug.
4. save game
5. game is mostly locked up
6. close game (had to use task manager to close part or all.)
7. post error 😄

error looks like a lot of these:

```

```

this happened right after killing a goblin

I’ve been waiting patiently for the goblin encounters to start and made a point of watching the battle very closely in case the error popped up. It did 😃

The error seemed to occur as the first goblin died in the battle.

This happens with any goblin attack whatsoever and it totally stopped my hearthlings from working, maybe this is the bug that prevents hearthlings from working even though they have things queued up. Here is my world before the bug
