Are you using the current DF version? There was a bug a fair while ago that had questers ignore the visitor cap. My maximum quester army contained over 120 military types.

Anyway, I would expect one of them to leave and then return to try to sneak back in, and either attack or flee when detected. If the bugger attacks you're in for chaos, and if you attack a fleeing thief your in for chaos. All the buddies will then go hiddenly hostile, with most of them "just" scaring your dorfs, but some will attack (while still claiming to socialize). Putting such an army down is extremely messy if you've got the militia, and can doom your fortress if you haven't, as the few fighting ones tear apart your citizens.

Then it's a bug. It may well be the old one not killed off in all cases, and I'd expect all of them are looking for the same artifact... Note that if you don't have the artifact, nothing will happen: they'll gradually drift off.

If these are questers, they could be looking for a wooden right glove as well... But I've never seen such a big group of them. The biggest was single digit.

Even if they are questers, somehow I doubt it was intended that way.

I had a sudden group of questers appear recently. 150 of them. That's my exact visitor cap so legal, if unexpected. They crammed themselves into the tavern then before I knew it they all left at once (except the one who died of old age before he could get out, poor sap). Something odd is going on, but the failsafe for older saves that Toady implemented seems to kick in eventually to clear them out quickly.

Another thought: Have you double checked that it's the visitor cap that's 24, and not the pop or absolute pop cap? I believe the visitor cap defaults to 100.

Yes I am certain. These guys exeeded ALL my caps. Together. Im playing a small fort. Anyways, they are leaving one by one. All in all very underwelming. I was almost hoping for a fight.

Thanks for all the insight
