Summary0012653: civ general visits on a loop. demon slays general and a new one comes loop.
DescriptionA general of my civ comes to visit on a loop, when said general dies a new one comes to visit very urgently, the visitor has the tag
"this visitor has come ." with the dot separate, this'll only appear after a dwarf has been in proximity to the dwarf, otherwise it'll just say "Talk to this visitor blah blah". It's kind of gamebreaking for me as they'll keep coming and dying eventually draining the population of my civs and/or interesting dwarves I've met before and expelled!
Additional InformationMy world was generated using version 50.xx, unsure when - not too long after the release of Dwarf Fortress at least. Game is running latest version.

Two mods were used in worldgen I believe:
See-Through Smoothing Designations & Reduced Z-Level Fog

The savegame contains the mods as well (and a bunch of new ones I've subscribed to but not generated a world with). This general that visits never leaves, which wasn'ta problem since they would hang around for a very long time and not do anything. I tried using "makeown" in dfhack and they would remain general for a while in my fort, but eventually losing the tag ?

Can this issue be changed to public? I'm not seeing any personal information.

Strange you wouldn't have access level to view the report since you can comment on it? What is the information you require? (:
I do not think I can edit it after the fact anyway, so shoot away your question

You created the issue and changed its visibility to "private". I can see it since I'm a manager, but other people can't.

I'm asking if I can change the visibility to "public" so that everyone can see this issue, or if there's a reason you wanted it private.

Yes, it's private because it's my savefile, I'd rather only someone working on the issue has access to it.
If you prefer, I can reupload the archive with a encryption so the password can only be obtained by devs/managers

I truly don't understand the reason to make your save file private. I don't see how other people downloading your world would affect you (unless your Mega bandwidth is somehow limited, or you have personal details included in your save). This bug tracker relies on the community for help, and without the save, the ability for others to help is severely limited. I hope you reconsider.

For now, I'll make the report public and put the save file in a private note. That will at least allow other people to discover this issue by searching, which is another reason we want reports to be public. If everyone made reports private, nobody would be able to find duplicates of their issues (or share solutions/workarounds if they exist), and we would end up with a lot of duplicate issues that the small number of tracker managers and Bay12 staff would have to address.
