This probably has been asked before, but I wasn't able to search it up, so here it is:

I've got a bunch of followers that I would really like to get rid of.  I thought it would be cool to recruit up my own private little army, but now I can't kill a single thing by myself anymore and I am getting ambushed every two steps (I am very sure now that number of party members affects encounter rates).  I'm thinking about feeding them to a dragon but they could probably kill it by themselves (I've seen them do it before).  Retiring did not work.  How can I get them to stop following me save actually turning on them myself?

Go next to chasm.
Throw followers off ledge into chasm by wrestling.

[Bricks]

Retire, make another adventurer to go and kill the followers.

I think just retiring and then unretiring would work.

No dice.

How do you throw people off edges? I've always wondered this.

If you want to not betray them, let them fight monsters on lip of chasm/pit/magma/water until they get thrown in or dodge in. Repeat until you have as few followers as you want.

[Hummingbird]

That works, thanks.

Retire, make another adventurer to go and kill the followers.

Or that, too.

They'll follow you.

I like Bricks' idea. You could then use your adventurer to hunt down the one who killed your followers for vengeance. Or give him a pat on the back.

I had lost followers before from going over mountain. Can't remember what exactly in order...

Like first quick travel 1 tile next to mountain, zoom in, travel over, zoom out, quick travel out of mountain to somewhere else. Zoom in to check, bam, followers' gone.

Or could be another way around.

Swim across one tile of ocean on the travel map. They won't be able to follow you when you swim and when you travel again they can't find you.

Alternately, if you don't want to deal with the risk of actually killing the character you care about, I think you can recruit a retired adventurer's followers.  Then just kill them in a quiet location (or throw them in a bag and drown them in a river).  If you retire that adventurer/give in to starvation, they will probably stop following the one you care about.

The only followers I take are drunks and prisoners.  I like to stage wars between them and wolves.

[Satarus]

Fight carp.  They will dodge/jump in to kill them. They then drown since they can't swim.

[Halconnen]

I always got rid of my followers by swimming down a river/lake/something alike, or alternatively, just swimming across a river. They won't be able to follow you, and as soon as you put enough distance between you and them, insta-travel out, bam, gone.

[Hummingbird]

Awesome.  I wonder what they do after that happens; I suppose they go back to whatever town they came from.

You can try to light them on fire; bring them to a forest or something and wait until they are near the trees and light them on fire. Light as much of the brush nearby on fire and set up burning clothes on as many other tiles as you can. Eventually some of them will begin to catch fire.
