It's bit funny that a site might link to your fortress even if it's closer to the mountainhome than you. And that's an entirely one-sided process that you can't influence?

Doesn't seem that beneficial either. The burden of having to deal with a baron outweighs the theoretically positive thing that you can request specific workers from a holding, which I don't expect to ever use with this fort.

Without cheating, or leaving fortress mode, I wanna say, no.

However, I've flipped one back, tho, by requesting all, especially new Mayor, of my troops with a messenger. But I regretted it, because they got lost travelling back.

What gets my goat, is that donut, showing if its ours, theirs, or neutral, which is around the places on Civ map, hides important stuff. Maybe it'll get repaired in intrigue patch.

Yep. It bugged me enough that I went and made a script that is capable of removing these links. I'll post it here in case someone else dislikes this.

Instructions:
 - save in hack/scripts/ and use file name economiclinks.lua
 - type `economiclinks help` in dfhack window
 - back up your save in case something goes wrong

Code: [Select]

-- show and sever economic links, by xzaxza
local help = [====[
economiclinks
======================
Displays the economic links of a site, or optionally severs them.

Usage:
economiclinks [sever] [site_id]

Both options are optional. If absent, site_id defaults to the current site.

Examples:
Running `economiclinks` without arguments displays the economic links of the current site.
Running `economiclinks 7` displays the economic links of the site with id 7.
Running `economiclinks sever` severs the economic links of the current site.
Running `economiclinks sever 7` severs the economic links of the site with id 7.

Would be nice if DF allowed us to send out only the messenger, to establish foreigner contact. Instead of a raid party. I guess I could toss messenger in a no uniform 1 man squad and do it.
