Work as Caravan Guard in Adventure Mode
« on: August 12, 2014, 02:52:34 pm »
Getting places in adventure mode can be a real pain. All those mountain roads that you can't fast travel over, running out of water and food at inconvenient times, night time, etc.

I think it would be cool if you could talk to traders and offer your services to guard their caravan when they next go somewhere. You'd get free food and shelter, only having to stop and fight if the caravan is attacked.

The only issue I can see with this is, what happens if you retire a dwarf fort in a really weird and usually inaccessible spot and then use the Mountainhome caravan to travel there?

If it's completely inaccessible the caravans don't get there. I guess you just get kicked off back at the start point.

If it's just nearly inaccessible, then you'll just have to wait a year for the next caravan if you miss the return trip. :P
