I have created a new hero in my game which uses the brood lord ability of spawning escorts.
What has worked so far is i got the weapon working for the new unit and make it spawn 4 escorts at a time and has a cargo max of 20 escorts works perfectly.
But then something weird started happening, whenever an air unit is wihtin the attacking range of the hero the escorts just wander off flying around like 20 range from the main unit and dont attack anything, then they come flying back and start attacking again. This only happens when there are air units, with attacking ground units it works fine, the escorts arent even suppose to be able to attack air. I tried using the leash which should depend how far the escort can travel from the main unit, but this doesnt seem to have any effect... i coudlnt find anything more i tried changing a lot. Just to know why would be great!
Not sure if this is the problem you are having, but I was messing around with Brood Lords and noticed that the Broodlings stopped working properly if you set the parent unit's range too high, past 13 or 14 if I recall correctly. Good luck.
It is simple the escourts lack a weapon able to target air units. The brood lord functions by an Arm Magazine ability to spawn broodlings that are directed to the target by a dummy weapon on the brood lord using the attack ability as a scope. The broodling escourts use their own weapon to convert themselves to a missile that does the rest. Just change what the broodling weapon can target.
