I am aware of how to edit the ages, their names, etc. That's certainly what happened. Obviously dark gnones being the main populace is not reality, and it doesn't ultimately affect anything. But I doubt it was some freak occurrence.

The chance is indeed there. . .

Very evocative write-up Bral, alas the ancient dwarf did not see all that Realmspire holds.

@Kesperan, perhaps. Perhaps. Or perhaps this is no mere unleashing of chaos like that of dwarves who delve too greedily and too deep.

Alrighty, after spending most of the night I've un-borked the save and was able to retire, zipping and uploading now. Sorry for the extra day's wait!

@Lurker I ended up making the 'Administrator' role for your site that should take care of everything, Lurker was not retired there, as you mentioned you were unable to, so I promoted one of the other necromancers living there to the role. Unfortunately the succession for this administrator role is by heir, as I'm unsure how the elected positions work and haven't messed with them yet and refuse to without more testing. But this is fine, Lurker can remain an adventurer and the psuedo 'lord' of the castle, while one of his companion Necros administers.

As an aside -- There are four new children in the royal family of Omon Obin; Eman, Leto, Umci, and Cobar, Anthads each and all. Feel free to take over their bodies everyone, well probably best to wait about 10 in-game years which should go by quick, but hey if you wanna play a child that's also cool. No pressure obviously just poking the nest to see if anyone else wishes to make a hero (or corpse) out of the peasant family made kings.

EDIITTTTT: HERE"S A LINK TO THE SAVE FILE, TIME FOR BED.

It's definitely a unit, as disabling all of them let's the game retire without issue. Just going to narrow them down now.

Side note, Lurker do you want separate noble positions or are you comfortable with a single 'Administrator' position, that handles petitions, trade, & bookkeeping?

EDIT: Still working on it. Unfortunately. . . I may have to excise the population of Silverthrone and call it the 'Great Vanishing.' In order for the game to continue.

@Lurker

I think this most hinges on one thing; whether in a narrative sense Lurker would have petitioned to do so in an official capacity, essentially gaining lordship over the land, or if he merely moved into the old castle for their own sake. In the former scenario, I feel as if though he would be welcome, despite now having a familial ruling system and dynasty, I like to imagine the earliest of the Anthad stock cares little of nobility and relies more on merit - If a man comes to them wishing to rebuild a holding for the sake of the Realm, then so be it, and best of luck to him, the Realm requires strong hands and ambitions for the future now that the worst of the blight seems through with.

On the other hand, should it have been an oddball adventurer moving in to claim their own fort, then I think they would be much more wary. Swordgleamed was merely a stones throw away from the capital in the past and it was a vertible hive of banditry, the memories of Jas and Galka's final adventure before settling into rulership in order to cow the bandits that dwelt there is still in the minds of the Anthads. In this case, at best they'd hope Lurker to be a harmless adventuring fellow squatting on ruined land, at worst, a would be bandit lord.

EDIT: In order to get the positions right for Lurker, I'm gonna need to finish up tomorrow morning, it's getting quite late for me to be doing this and I don't want to make a mistake. Sorry folks.

I suspect they're already dead and the game is just confused about it. It might explain the crashes, which I too experienced the first time I got a wave in a human fort. Thankfully, I only lost one in-game month. As for the thralls, I don't know about you, but for me they had no body parts. Their description list was full of all the body parts that were missing - and ALL their bodyparts were missing. When I scrolled over them, they had every body part gray. You were also lucky that you got some good migrants with the thralls, for me as much as I repeated the wave, only thralls arrived. And I think I didn't get any more waves after that, either.

By the way, before you upload the save, could you put some non-military positions for Siminsothro if it's not too much bother? It is really annoying not having a broker (and, to a lesser extent, a bookkeeper).

I'm not certain that the bugged, limbless thralls are all dead in game. At least legends viewer suggest they haven't died yet when they generally show up for me. My one contention is where they came from, 75% of them seem to be infected by Hannibal, while the other quarter by Kosoth's original rampage. I'm just wondering how in my many turns I haven't cleaned up Omon Obin! And now as I'm traveling, there are countless Rotten Slayers to deal with. . .

Out of curiosity anyone have any particular in-universe opinions of the Intelligent Undead? I generally attack them on sight provided my adventurer is hardy enough. Though of course they aren't hostile until you do the deed, I suppose I think of it like a mercy killing.

And yeah Lurker I'll take a look at it.
