How do I kill my own villagers?

[kazagistar]

Its a quest objective to have 10 villagers die. The only way I know for them to die is those events that kill them, but all the dangerous and forbidden glades Ive hit have been ones that hit Resolve. How do I get people to actually die?

If you're playing on Veteran difficulty or higher, you can try accumulating enough Blightrot to corrupt the hearth and kill your villagers that way (it's easier from Prestige 3 and higher, I believe).

Additionally, you can attack traders (kills roughly 2-6 villagers, depending on trader).

Oh, I had no idea what attacking traders does, thats nice and easy; can you do it multiple times? I did finally stumble across a broken rainpunk device, and am trying to figure out how to get enough people to stand in the blast zone. Its hard to force them to stay put.

I believe you should be able to attack Traders 2 times, 3 if you start early.
It may be hard to make people stay close to exploding building, but you can either tell them to mass build roads near it, or employ them in a building that you set build only for this reason, 1s before explosion you can delete the building.

But doing any of that is monstrous! :P

Also forsaken altar.

Oh yeah, at prestige difficulty (above viceroy) you get one more option :)

1. find altar of decay
2. repetitively initiate the ritual.
3. ????
4. profit

increase hostility by opening glades and/or have a lot of wood cutters working during the storm season, causing low resolve which gets villagers to leave, which should also count as dying, iirc

If you are playing low difficulty, the only way to let them suicide is let most worker become wood chopper during stop.
Try to sky rocket your hostility.
If you are playing Veteran and below, this is very very hard to do

Let them starve. Forbid people via consumption control to eat any food at all. Can target a specific race if you don't need them. Might kill off more than you'd want, so take care.
