Trade Caravan Wont Leave
« on: June 16, 2008, 04:37:15 pm »

After getting tired of having so many goblin ambushes that my dwarves couldn't even gather up all their socks before the next wave was upon me, I decided to pull the lever to seal off my fortress so that my dwarves could concentrate on actually maintaining the fortress.

However I failed to notice that I had sealed a trade caravan inside ... and now that the place is opened again, they will not leave. They are just sitting on the trade depot, doing nothing at all.

Will the leave eventually?

Hit crtl + d and make sure they still have a path out. Did a tree grow somewhere and cut off their exit stratigety?

That is precisely what happened, thanks. It wasn't just one tree though ... a tree-bomb had gone off and about a dozen trees had grown between them and the edge of the map. I think it's time to build some roads.

Looks like -Elf- sabotage to me!  >:(

That happened to me with an elvish caravan.
It didn't leave for two years, even though the human and dwarf caravans came and went perfectly.

I demolished the trade depot, and immediately all of the elves went berserk.
A donkey also went melancholy, but I'm sure that doesn't matter. Made a nice big splat when it fell off a cliff.
