Is it okay to have multiple races show up to trade at once?
« on: August 23, 2014, 02:19:49 am »
I'm planning on adding two civilizations, but their are only four trade seasons. Would there be a problem with trading to say, humans and elves modded to show up at the same time as humans! Or would my trading just be mixed perfectly, with the parties splitting goods roughly evenly?

If any of them are made of fire, throw stuff, run, and think non-flammable thoughts.

IIRC, if multiple caravans arrive at the same time, you are able to select which caravan you want to trade with at the depot menu.

Oh that's cool. Phew... Thought I'd have to remove someone's trade option.

For all the weird ways DF can fall short, Toady has equally many specific strange hardcoded redundancies just in case. If somebody barfs into an eerie glowing pit, for example.

If they don't like each other you end up wit a war outside your fort and free loot.

I need to hear about this. Share your wisdom.

Yes, please tell us what happens with the pit.

It's just a little thing. From poring over the string dumps, I've found specific combat announcements for barf interacting with things:

Code: [Select]
| vomits|
| into the ocean wave|
| into the lava mist|
| into the dragonfire|
| into the flames|
| and bits of it get stuck in the web|
| into the sea foam|
|The rest of the vomit burns away in the lava.|
|The vomit burns away in the lava.|
|The rest of the vomit burns away in the magma.|
|The vomit burns away in the magma.|
|The rest of the vomit disappears into the water.|
|The vomit disappears into the water.|
|The rest of the vomit falls away into the chasm.|
|The vomit falls away into the chasm.|
|The rest of the vomit falls away into the underworld.|
|The vomit falls away into the underworld.|
|The rest of the vomit splatters into the shallow puddle of water.|
|The vomit splatters into the shallow puddle of water.|
Considering how hard-coded it is, I can sorta understand that you need to account for every possible situation to avoid the game getting heart attacks.
