It should take 1 payday without a treasure room to get all 5 tents here but this is payday # 6 without a treasure room. Instead of defecting, the tentacles unmake their lairs and become instantly happy again.

I suspect what's happening here is that due to the lack of a portal, the tents are stuck in an endless loop of leaving and reentering the same dungeon with happiness being reset. What should happen is that they must stay angry (unless paid) and if they reach the point where they unmake their lairs, they should also join the enemy.

I tried a few different things and found that if you lead the tentacles out of their lair just before payday hits and they max out anger, you can get all 5 of them to defect. The problem is that tentacles tend to defect from within the lair and once they immediately make another lair, they no longer attempt to join enemy dungeon.

@elemanzer I've tried it now, but for me the tentacles just stay unhappy and do nothing with their lair. Does it still go wrong for you, and if so, please share the testmap where it went wrong for you.
