Crazy merchants
« on: August 20, 2010, 02:39:44 pm »
So here I am, 10 years in my first serious fort, after recovering from two tantrum spirals in the past decade, now working towards getting a baron.  A caravan from the mountainhomes arrive and I get the following announcements:

Urist McMerchant is stricken by melancholy!
Two-humped camel has gone stark raving mad!
Urist McOthermerchant has gone stark raving mad!
Two-humped camel has gone stark raving mad!
UristMcThirdmerchant has gone berserk!
One-humped camel has gone stark raving mad!

The crossbowdwarf with the caravan promptly slaughtered the berserk merchant, then walked off the map, with the other dwarves and pack animals just standing there.

Has this ever happened to anybody else?

Damn you google, why are you always so far away? Sitting at the top of my interwebs window, mocking me with you easy information. You are the prostitute of the internet.

It's odd, because they weren't even near my trade depot, it was just after they entered the map.  Though I can understand the trade depot thing, I have lots of human corpses scattered around.  I keep trying to start a war with them because the elves and goblins died out.
