Town liason died...way to get one back?
« on: July 17, 2009, 07:48:17 pm »

I know that once the liason dies, that's it, they don't send another one.  And I'd normally be fine with that.  But my liason, for NO reason at all, just did a head plunge into a group of goblins and I'm not fine with that.

So is there a way to trick the game into thinking she's alive again, or a way to ressurect her or anything?  I don't mind cheating in this instance as there's no reason she should have done that (other than a bug or the game hating me or something).

They're created in worldgen. Short of savescumming, no way.

Elves do it in trees. Humans do it in wooden structures. Dwarves? Dwarves do it underground. With magma.

Well the most recent save I have is back to the last season, and I don't feel like re-doing all that.

Does it affect any other part of my game other than just not being able to request stuff any more?

You won't be able to request that year. You should get a new one next time.

Also you probably have a siege to look forward to. At least I've heard that loosing a liason on your map is one way to trigger those.

Oh, lovely.  My defenses are...fledgling at best.

So I do get a new one?  Because it was my understanding that it's the same one every time and once gone, they don't send another.

What race was the liason of, if it was dwarfs, don't worry (sadly, for some reason dwarfs cannot fight dwarfs so no ultra dwarf duels)

And word of warning if it was a elf, when they siege, they com in sneaking, so you can't tell where they are till eaither A: one of your dwarfs finds them or B. they start killing your dwarfs.

If it was a human, then when they siege they sit around a campfire for a bit first, then charge blindly at your city, buying you some time to get defenses ready.

It was a dwarf. 

If other races liason's die, they declare war on you?

Also what if you try to sell wood items to the elves?  They got haughty at that but how angry are they?  Can I expect elf sieges in the future?

They simply refuse to trade with you for that trade round. No sieges from that.

Elves will warn you when you kill enough trees. Commit further arborcide and they will siege.

When they send a liaison to warn you, if the liaison dies they siege regardless. Most dwarves intentionally kill the elf, it's funny as hell.
