Liaison Death, will there be a new one?
« on: September 09, 2011, 08:48:35 pm »
The Dwarf Liaison was killed in an ambush...  Will there be a new one next year?  Or does this mean I'll never be able to request things again?

Yes, in the current version, if your Liaison is killed you will have a new Liaison next year.  Also, if your Liaison survives and leaves the map you will also have a new Liaison next year.  Toady "fixed" the issue with entity positions never being replaced by having them be replaced every year no matter what, once they've entered your map.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

Having murdered about a dozen liasons out of gross negligence with my death traps and sometimes just because I thought it would be funny I can say that one of the only reasons you'll ever not get a visit from the liason is if your civ is dead.

*psst, broseph* Liaison is spelled like so... not Liason.


Strange - I've had multiple years where the liaison has not come, but the caravan has. - Then the liaison comes a few years after a few un-liaisoned caravans, who seem to be operating over the last agreement.

I thought that was just game mechanics, but perhaps it's a bug?

I challenge you to a game of 'Hide the Sausage', to the death.

Well I was limiting my wasteful use of the letter i because we are in a recession and some people can't afford vowels but fine I'll waste all of tiny tim's i's because it's SOOOO important to you.
