Player owned caravans
« on: July 26, 2010, 10:34:18 am »

Something that's bugged me is why can other civs send caravans to you, but you can't send any their way. My suggestion would be the ability to construct a cart, assign a horse or mule to it, and assign a trader and possible even some guards. Then you can load up the cart and send them out to trade, maybe they'll come back next season (maybe they won't :P). The actual trading I think should be handled silently by the trader, although you can give him some rough outline of goods you want purchased (or maybe you could go as far as sending out your own liason with the caravan?).

Thoughts?, additional suggestions?

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

Or in non-haiku form:

This is a main feature that has been planned for some time, but toady hasn't got around to it yet.
