Merchants leave before they've finished unloading?
« on: March 30, 2008, 09:56:00 am »
In my most recent game, I was a bit perplexed because when the first bunch of merchants arrived, they left before unloading their goods. This seems a bit contrary to what one would expect. Does this qualify as a bug?

Did you have two (or more) trade depots?  Mules will sometimes go to one while the wagons go to the other, and they then leave in a huff.  It's a long-standing bug.

I had something similar happen not long ago.  Human Caravan took up the entire time unloading.  No second depot either.

My brother, who also plays, said it might have something to do with one of the wagons being overloaded.  I thought it might have something to do with the non-wagon'd merchants who got scared by an ambush that was promptly caged.

If any merchant dies, the caravan leaves; maybe that's it?
