It would probably be helpful if you uploaded a save during Adv. Mode gameplay with one of these reincarnated adventurers. http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^]

Any updates? This sounds like a bug very much worth catching, but it'll be difficult without a save.

Strangely, the same thing happened in my fortress. To all of my modded-out-of-dwarfhood embark group. At the same time as 0000017 with the missing expedition leader/labours. I haven't dug through the legends yet, but I was completely boggled at the time as to why all 7 of my group showed up with 300-500 kills dating all the way back to Year 1, and a text wall of enemy factions in their statuses.

I'll also note that this embark was a reclaim of a previous site.

Antiscient: do you happen to have a save from before you reclaimed the site?

No, I don't, sorry. All I can do is vouch that this error can also occur in fortress mode. My raws were edited and my game had some errorlog issues from mistakes I'd made there, so I don't think my affected save (from after the reclaim) would be of much use either.

I can confirm this happening on using PLAY NOW! to start a fortress on a large island world. The world was generated using the 31.03 mayday version - no other alterations. I might have the save still, but I've made a few dozen worlds with compressed saves off... so It might have been deleted.

I can also confirm this when using play now. Don't have the save though =/
