Weird person at my fortress
« on: June 01, 2008, 11:13:00 am »

Ok, So the trade merchant just came, But i didnt have a trade depot so he just skipped me, I tried building one but no-one built it. So bye bye went the merchant, And he dropped off a strange person. She doesnt even show on my unit list! And she just keeps tagging along with my fishery dwarf. Its just strange... It says shes a "Outpost Liai" "Atis Ledpaint"

That's probably just an Outpost Liaison. Remove all tasks from that fisherdwarf as it seems that (s)he is your Expedition Leader that handles all the talking.

Okay, Thanks, I was just afraid because she kept fallowing everyone around, And she doesnt show up on my unit, Or idle list. Its just strange, I thought she was going to murder my fishery dwarf because she fallowed him into his own private room with a door too!

The visitor should show up way down on the unit list, below the animals.

Press (n) to see your nobles and administrators - I think the liaison will want to talk to the mayor. The go to the mayor dwarf, (v) view him, (p) preferences, (l) labour and turn all his jobs off. He'll then (sleep, eat, drink and) go have a meeting with the visitor.
Check out the wiki link Silu posted ... the wiki's really helpful  :)

You need to enable the "Architecture" labour on at least one dwarf to design the trade depot. Once it's designed they can start building it.
