meeting problem in saves?
« on: December 26, 2006, 09:35:00 pm »

I just had a human caravan arrive at my fortress with a Guild Representative tagging along. I went and saved because i had other things to do, but when i got back to it, things got wierd. The caravan has been gone for about 2 weeks, but the Guild person and the Broker don't seem to be interested in meeting each other. The broker is wandering between his quarters and the statue guarden as well as the outside of the fortress, while the Rep is busy wandering around my fortress and never seeming to head near the Broker or his quarters. Might there have been a problem when i saved after the caravan arrived which erased the meeting information?

Unless it's a new bug, the saving itself wouldn't garble the meeting (since I have a few with this setup that work), but I've seen them acting a little strange recently.  If you have the save where they are acting oddly I might be able to figure it out.

I've reloaded from saves, the meeting does take a while to happen... diplomats wander the halls aimlessly.  Building offices near the front entrance didn't help.  I've had a diplomat leave mad , "stymied", though his noble might have died to starvation.

Caravans are more likely to turn around now if they pick a fight with elephants and lose  :(

oh, and as a addition, any new migrants showing up at the fortress are really slow in deciding to move away from the edge of the map, usually one at a time while the rest remain stuck. It might be somewhat related.

Ooops, I guess I didn't reply -- yeah it's Save  70 tied to Bug 294, and I'm going to look at it before the next release.
