No Trade
« on: May 31, 2011, 09:52:15 am »
Random sections of a world I just genned are designated as NO TRADE by any civilization. No rhyme or reason to it as they are adjacent to areas that can trade. What does the NO TRADE designation on the Embark Screen entail?

Happened to me in certain evil hot areas, namely Terrifying Tropical Shrublands, but only beyond a certain limit.  No idea what caused the moment of shift, but it apparently has no bearing.  They will still freely trade with you.

Ah, is that so? Hmm, I might just abandon this fortress, then. Found an absolutely perfect spot with everything I could want in a fort but No Trade. Thanks for the knowledge!

No, I meant I had made a fortress in a suboptimal location thinking that I wouldn't get trade in the otherwise good spot. I abandoned it for the other one.

All these 'No _____'  posts make me want to cackle 'NO SPRINGS!'

Back on topic, Girl in Hat is right.  Plus the only things that have prevented me from trading have been no civs, or not building my depot or having it inaccessible somehow.

I've experienced missing caravans at time, mostly due to FD-sized sieges.
