Dwarven caravan won't go home
« on: August 23, 2006, 02:36:00 pm »

The dwarven caravan came to trade with me in August. It is now August... one year later. They are still hanging out inside of my town, just relaxing in my ore pit, I guess.

I have a picture:

They're in the northwestern quarter of my ore pit, under the caption "Why are these traders inside my base".

What version was this world made in and being played in?

Is that a new dwarven caravan at the depot?  If they manage to make it out you should start getting immigrants again, and then you can possibly start up the goblin path, though I'd understand if you're losing patience at this point.

This is an older picture [taken more than a year ago in the game]. Those dwarves are all part of one massive dwarf caravan. I haven't had a dwarf caravan come since then.

The version is the second most recent... abcdefgh.1c I think.

Same here, only with all caravans. I cant trade with anyone, without destroying depot afterwards, or they just wont f**king go away.

funny.. you should mention that... i think back in a few versions ago maybe one of the 104..., i've seen merchants (not caravans.. just the animal ones) wandering inside my fortress whilst they were trying to leave..

-my depots are always just inside the cliff

they did eventually leave though...
