No outpost liaison?
« on: July 23, 2014, 03:57:05 am »
Merchants have arrived for the first time in my fortress, but no liaison is with them.
I got this announcement:

No outpost liaison? How curious...

Should I be worried about it? Was the liaison attacked on the way, even though the merchants are fine?

The worst enemy you'll ever meet is the little voice that says Hey, this would be a cool/awesome/funny thing to do!/I wonder what happens if...

May be the Civilization you are playing is dead or nearly dead. I have seen this when playing ones  like that.

I just had the same thing happen as 94dlma94. I think my civ must be dead. In Legends, the civ looks really small and undeveloped, and one of my dwarves became Queen after a month.

We'll see how this goes. The goal for my fortress is to make some nice gear to equip a future adventuring party to take down the Tortoise monster leading the goblin civilization that's made life hell for my dwarven civ. Could be that we're more important than a mere basecamp for adventurers...

Liaison is dead and new one has not been appointed yet. One might never come if the rest of your civilization has been overrun.

I got this "No outpost liaison? How curious..." message in a recent Fort build I livestreamed. After a were-elk and web-shooting megabeast ate my dwarves, I checked the Legends and found that the liaison had been drowned by an elf, probably during an assault where the elves conquered the site as they were steamrolling through all of the civilization's forts.

Check in the u -> other units if the liason is stuck in a tree (like it happened to me).

I received exactly the same message because the Liason had been stuck in a tree for like 2 years..

Just received the same message followed by one of my dwarves being appointed king and a massive wave of the undead arriving. I guess that message is a harbinger of the end of your world ;-)

Nobles always ask for a nice tomb. See that they make good use of it.

Note to self. Need more defences sooner next time I see that message.
