Overrun by Hostile Scholars
« on: May 18, 2020, 11:56:15 pm »
After unretiring a fortress I'm swamped with scholars, only some of whom are guests: https://ibb.co/tYbn2p0

The hostile scholars aren't attacking. They're just standing around. I've turned visitors down to zero, and so far it has had no effect on the guests or the hostile scholars.

I could kill them, but that would make a mess and might cause a loyalty cascade. Can anyone suggest a tidier way, maybe from DFHack, to make them leave or disappear?

"hostile" is just a display glitch. Doesn't mean anything.
Unretirement is full of weird bugs.

What, is magma broken or something in your world?

Blue Dwarf has been happy lately. He did some !!science!! recently. He admired a fine forum post lately. He was enraged by a forum troll recently. He was upset by the delayed release of the new version of Dwarf Fortress lately. He took joy in planning a noble's death recently.

For the dfhack way, hover over a unit you want dead with the in-game cursor and type "exterminate this" in the console.

If there are a ton of them this might get tedious though.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

DFHack scripts that takes a selected unit as input works on the units screens too, so you can use the other units tab and then just step down the list (still a lot of focus changes to and from the DFHack window, though).
