Trade issue.
« on: December 13, 2014, 07:20:55 pm »
I decided to play DF again today after half a year and noticed something strange today:

Is it true that traders can carry a lot less stuff? I couldnt sell more then 30 mugs before they started complaining "i would love to take that but my animals...". Both humans, elves and dwarf caravans complained about this. I remember that back in the day this was never a problem for me, selling 100 mugs was no problemo (6 months back that is)

is this a new feature or just bad luck for me with this fort? If so, what influences the max carry weight merchants have? And can i encourage them brining more "carry animals"?
 
Thanks,
Bas

Is your depot inaccessible to wagons? If it is, merchants will only bring pack animals, which can't carry nearly as much (and early caravans generally don't have many pack animals either).

There was a typo in the siegers' campfire code. When the fires went out, so did the game.

They seem to me to carry a little less stock with them, however.  Most noticeably the elves.

Elves carries a lot less stuf than before, but humans and dwarves brings ton and tons as usual... as other pointed out, are you sure your depot is accessible with wagons and not only by pack animals? You can check it out by pressing [D].
