Well, the outpost liason came, with the trade caravan. My depot wasn't built yet, so they left early. He decided that time was a good time to sleep; he was the only one currently with architecture. Then, after they left, the liason hung around for the meeting discussing the trade. So he keeps digging and digging. Finally he decides to go conduct the meeting, and halfway through the tunnel turns around and starts digging again. Then, later, he did it AGAIN.

Trollololol. All I have to say.

Well, there's a couple problems you can rectify to help prevent this from happening.

1. Don't only have a single Dwarf on Architecture. Have several.
2. Disable the unwanted labors for the Broker when you want him to, you know, broker stuff, because meetings are actually considered low-priority. Or be like me, and don't have the Broker on any labors, so aside from when he's sleeping or eating or something he'll be immediately available.

I've been meaning to set more architecture people for a while, at the time I had very few dwarves since I had just embarked and did not want all of them on architecture. Good point though.

It actually is a good idea too, to make some nobles lazy. Some already are XD But yeah, I might do that too.

thanks for the tips.

After you get the first immigrants you should have enough people you can put to work so you can set your broker, manager and all the other nobles to do nothing at all except for their administrative jobs. You donīt want your skilled broker or bookkeeper killed because heīs hauling some wood from the surface, after all. To make sure your broker goes to the trade depot as soon as merchants arrive place a small burrow around the depot and send him there. Donīt forget to remove him from the burrow afterwards, or he will get unhappy because he canīt drink or eat and must sleep on the floor...

Why would you only have one architect? :C

x3  I thought you meant it literally.  I have statues in my fort of a troll being elected mayor, and then being kicked out, and being sad about it.  There's about six of them, total.

I thought the same thing, then realised that "officially" would imply that he wasn't a troll at some point and that it's not possible to have friendly trolls, to my knowledge, or to have them be appointed expedition leader.
