Some elven traders just came, and as I'm fairly low on food and booze, I'm really looking forward to trading some fine rock crafts with them. But they spawned to the corner of the map with the magma pipe, and now they are dancing in circles around it. My guess is that they get repeatedly spooked by the fire imps around there. Nothing wrong with that, I'm sort of scared of them. But the odd part is that the imps also seem to be scared of the elves. Instead of shooting fireballs, they also run around in circles. And the elves aren't getting any closer to my trading depot.

Are there any obvious ways of avoiding this next year, other than killing the imps?

I think merchants spawn from random directions, unless it's a hemmed in wagon.

It seems to me like there are preferred spots for traders to spawn.

In my current game this is always the northern border of the map close to where the brook enters the map as well as the eastern border close to where the rivr exists the map (although there would be enough other spots where traders would be able to reacht the depot).

In my other games it was similar, there were certain preferred spots (as long as rthere were spots where traders with wagons could reacht the depot)

You sure they aren't doing a Dance of Death- Tree Hippy and Fire Imp style?

[Kanil]

Grab your crossbows and nail those imps while they're distracted with the elves!!

And after that, wall it in. The entire section. No spawning for you.

As if time had stopped still
I was numb with fear
But still I wanted to go
And the blaze of the fire
Did no hurt upon me
As I walked onto the coals
