A world without Shops
« on: June 24, 2007, 06:53:00 pm »

I'm not sure if this is a bug or just an unlikely event but I just created a world that apparently has not a single merchant or shop in all the world. Anyone have this happen before?

All I can think of right now is some strange variation of Weird Al's Amish Paradise. But I take it this is not a common thing then.

No shops in human towns?  That's weird.

That's unusual.  You've visited all of the many human towns?  The capitals should have a few large buildings...

Also, elves and dwarves do not have shops yet, so be sure you're going to a human town.

Forgive me for this... I don't even know where I heard the original song.

Been spending most our lives,
Traveling in a Communist's Paradise
Been spending most of our lives,
Traveling in a Communist's Paradise
Been spending most of our lives,
Traveling in a Communist's Paradise
Been spending most of our lives,
Traveling in a Communist's Paradise


Forgot the situation, they got me facin
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the dwarves
So I gotta be down with the mining team
Too much arena watchin' got me chasin' dreams


I'm a armored fool, with shopping on my mind
Got my kobold lower left leg in my hand and a copper arrow in my eye
I'm a starving adventurer, trap trippin' slayer
And my human swordsman is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool!

Death ain't nothing but a marksman away
I'm livin life do-or-die ah, what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now will I live to see twenty-fo'?
The way things are goin' I don't know...

You win this board's poetry/song contest.

Well, unless someone writes something original instead of doing a parody, but it'd have to be very good.
