Hey Topodic,
Seems the last update broke hermit mode completely because the syntax of create-unit changed. Its an easy fix, next week it will work again. Thanks for letting me know.
Hermit mode not working - simply get a game over, over and over, plus a few .lua errors in the DFhack console.
Tried multiple worlds, all the possible hermit/dwarf civilization settings, many different races, animal races included, but no dice.
Bit of a bummer, seems like a super fun mode.
