Caravan flees attack, gets stuck
« on: September 03, 2006, 11:49:00 am »

I had some goblins attack while an elven caravan was at my depot.  They killed one elf and mule, the other pair ran some distance south.  Then, they sat there.  Later, I got the message that the elf merchants were getting ready to leave; then, that they were leaving.  The actual surviving elf and mule continued to just sit there, though.  Don't know how long that will last.

There have been a few reports of things like this.  I really don't know what's going on at this point.

It's been two years.  Elf and mule are still there.  Every now and then I notice they've shifted position slightly - sometimes the mule is on one side of the elf, sometimes the other, sometimes they're a bit closer to the river than they were.

Haven't seen any more elven caravans since the attack.

I think I've had something similar happen to my game .. I don't recall seeing some of the caravan getting attacked (not that it can't have happened).

I had a TP where the caravan is now;

   
I think it was the same caravan that asked me about a trade agreement. I wasn't interested in anything they had to offer, so I didn't prioritize anything, and I haven't seen any new human caravans since then.

Yeah, if you get a caravan unlinked from reality like this, you won't get any new ones.  Still not sure what's up.

Well, they drowned - oops ;o ..

Seems like that fixed it for now, as I got a human caravan (+ merchant baron and diplo) the year after this.
