We know the Loyalty Cascade happens, it just seems we're missing a step in causing it properly. Hmmm.

Perhaps a henchman of that civ is needed?

I think that they are most focused on the first enemy to appear- in this case, you. Pretty much only after that one has been defeated will they "work out their differences." I think one newbie-adventurer needs to die per town for this to work, so that when you come back with your ex-retiree, the townspeople instantly recognize each other as enemies.

For extra points, start one of these in a town that's already embroiled in a conflict; with some intruding elves, for example. The elves won't hurt you, the townspeople will rip each other apart, and at the end you have an elf city! Then you give wood a low ignition point and watch the fun begin.

I've actually tried to recreate the cascade several times, but haven't managed to do it. Disappointing, to say the least... especially now that the fighting seems to have died down in the original massacre. In all the attempts Ive made with a henchman, he roars out a challenge as soon as I smack the first peasant and proceeds to kick the shit outta my guy. Come to think of it, Pundik did the same thing, but still went for the merchants for some reason.

Maybe Pundik hates Capitalists?
Well, a Loyalty Cascade is a glitch, the people that survived the cascade are already branded enemies.

Well, for making a LC I would try doing a few things.

First, try doing it in the society you already belong to, see if that works.

If not, take a quest but DON'T complete it. Maybe it only considers you part of the society if you're still working for them.

Also, try and hit once then sneak away, that might do it.

Maybe if you didn't get killed, dwarf fortress operates in mysterious ways.

I think it'd have more chance to work if you did it with the civ you started with.
