I've started populating extinct dwarf civilization (0 sites, no king, 0 population). Things are going well, new children are born and now it is time to destroy necromancer tower near by. BUT: my squads are not returning from any missions. What I've tried:
1. I've checked that no animal is assigned and pastured
2. I've tried to send dwarves to different missions
3. I've tried to separate squads to only-one-dwarf
No result.
I think it is:

There is an uncommon bug where squads sent on missions will never return and be forever listed as 'traveling'. To fix this, go to your world screen and cancel the mission the squad was originally sent out to do. Then, cancel their orders in the q military sidebar. The former members of the squad will eventually return to the fortress after a few days (thankfully still carrying their equipment) and it will announce 'XYZ squad has returned' when they do.

I can cancel mission and dwarves return back.
But I want to send dwarves to a missions... Any help on this?

I believe dead civs have this bug. I don't know of a solution in vanilla, but DF Hack might have something.

Any suggestion for the command? I tried to look for some, but no luck =(
OK, there is bug https://dwarffortressbugtracker.com/view.php?id=10891
Is there any workaround...?

I vaguely recall that someone tried to "unextinct" a civ by retiring a fort (so there's a NPC settlement) and starting another.  I don't remember if it worked.

I think I've tried that before, without much luck.

I've also tried retiring and unretiring a fort, which didn't help.

AFAIK DFHack doesn't have anything either.

Sorry I don't have anything more helpful - someone who's more familiar with DFHack scripting than me might be able to cook something up, but Im not sure how to go about that.

Have you tried asking in the DFHack thread?
