Merchants & Ramps
« on: December 23, 2009, 06:32:09 pm »

Hey guys, here's a question for ya.

What does it take to get merchants to go underground?

In my latest fort, I had an idea of setting up a very well defended underground entrance. I set up a line of ramps, but it shows up as merchant inaccessible.

help?

You need to make sure your ramps are set up properly.  In order to work properly ramps need a supporting wall on the lower level and the area above the wall must be accessible.  For a caravan to navigate them you need to have a 3 wide path and ramp so that the wagons can make it through.  Please refer to the page on ramps on the wiki for a better explanation.
