44.12 - Sent the Mayor on a Mission
« on: August 01, 2018, 08:21:49 am »

Iīve sent the mayor on a mission, now the Squad wonīt return and my fortress nobility is broke. Canīt appoint no one.

I broke the fortress for good? They will return or should I loose hope?

Seasonal autosave would have been a good idea.

The mayor is responsible for appointing most noble positions, so sending him off-site is inadvisable.

It has been reported that traveling squads may return many years later; if you don't want to wait you could try retiring and unretiring the fortress to see if that fixes the squad.

There's that trick where you can replace all the soldiers in a travelling squad if you start with the leader. Replacing everyone should force them to return a short time later. No idea if this can be done without mayor. Better save before trying it.
