So I was wondering, can you sell artifacts to a caravan, and then send raids off to recover them, thus creating a reson to raidgo to war with various people? Or do you give up your rights to the artifacts when they're sent off in the caravan?

or, once you are aware of n artifact, do you always have the capability to send  raid off to "recover" it?

You cannot sell artifacts to caravans.

You cannot sell artifacts to caravans.

Pretty sure just before release Toady said in fotf it was possible and he'd even added an artifact diplomacy bit of dialogue to the traders. Is that not working?

--Found it (last bit from 'yeah' is Toady's reply)

Quote from: Shonai_Dweller
Do merchants notice/care if you try to sell them artifacts that belong to their civ? Do they recognise the diplomatic intent of offering them their artifacts for free (as opposed to free barrels of prepared meals for example which may well have a higher 'value')?

Yeah, there is a special pop-up window for it, and it understands trade vs. offer (vs. seize if you grab one back).

I'm probably mistaken. I didn't realize that it was added.

What about the inverse situation, where you sell stolen artifacts? Then when the owners come looking for them, you squeal on the civ that bought it.

There have been a few people caught out by the ability to sell artifacts. I seem to have most of mine sorted now, but I'm sure I sold at least one useless artifact amulet before I realised that just grabbing all stone crafts and selling them was a mistake...

Oh Thisfox, don't worry, we will send you a new ¤stone amulet¤
