Nothing to trade?
« on: January 14, 2007, 05:57:00 pm »
uhh why is it the past three caravans have had nothing to bring me?

Also I thought you needed to meet certain requirements for elves to appear? I just had a caravan show up and coincedentally they too had nothing to trade me

Are your dwarves starving? They might have stolen all the food off the caravan, leaving it with nothing.

Are you running the latest version? I seem to remember a caravan-related bug fixed within the last couple versions.

If neither of those, you might have a bug.

No, but you'll see your dwarves run out to the caravan and loot food from the merchants.

These were from tree branches that fell from the tree naturally

But what do I know?
Everything I say should be taken with atleast 1 tsp. of salt, and another liter of Dwarven Wine is recommended.

"I thought it was the size of the others!" said Vanon. "I guess it was just standing further away!"

I. All the tree stumps outside your fortress
II. A bin is a bit too big to make from branches.
III. You are an evil Dwarf.
IV. Elf-Sense.
