Marchants leave their stuff at the depot
« on: September 04, 2006, 08:24:00 am »
The dwarven merchants embarked on their journey. After some time I noticed that trade depot still contains many items. Then I noticed  the merchants... They were somewhat north of the depot with the empty mules. They left all their stuff at the depot, and just stand there, not moving anywhere. Very weird...

Toady, I sent you a savegame. Did you receive it? My mail server is rather flaky...

OMG! I just noticed that those merchants standing outside of the depot were only part of the story. I saw some red squares on minimap inside my fortress and discovered that two merchants OCCUPIED MY NOBLES ROOMS and one RESIDES IN MY SILK ROPE DUNGEON! This is outright ridiculous. I'm going to dismantle my trade depot and see what happens.

So, the trade depot is levelled, my dwarves are carrying everything to the stockpiles and the merchants are leaving... emptyhanded. I hope they're not pissed off too much.

Nah, dwarves are coo'.  They know beard-on-beard violence isn't the shiznit.

I didn't see a save related to this in my inbox.  It might help -- this has happened before, but I think the other save was post-depot destruction so the merchant event had already cleared.  If you have a save where the depot is still there it might give me a clue.
