A kobold ambush killed a visiting dwarven liason,
Should I go back in time and let him live?

What will happen because of this?

Hi!

It depends whether you really need to order something very specific for the next year trade (like an anvil).

The only disadvantage you get is that you can't make any trade agreements this year, so you can't tell the dwarves to bring specific things next year (for a higher price) and neither will the dwarves give you a bit more money so to speak for certain goods next year.

But otherwise, such an incident does not create any problems. With the next dwarven caravan, you will see a new liaison visit and then you can make agreements.

I hope this info helps you decide.

Thanks I just didn't want them to be mad at me somehow.

Are you sure that new liaison will come? In last game after he was killed by trap, nobody replaced him...

[gurra_geban]

yeah, mine died of walking into a cage trap of mine, and then when i released him drowned himself, noone replaced him either...

perhaps he is replaced if killed by hostiles?

He also brings news of how your setelment is doing back to the moutain homes so if he doesn't make it back, you will get imigration based on LAST years numbers instead of this year, which could be good or bad depending on if you want imigrants or not or if your fort value has gone up or down.

He may not be replaced right away, but eventually a new one will come.

I had my dwarf liaison killed by a trap in 1051.  That fort still hadn't gotten a new one by 1054, when I was forced to abandon because it was running very slowly (39 z-level cliffs and 100 dwarves).  I started a new fort from the same civilization, and the new fort doesn't have a liaison either.

I had my dwarf liason killed by a trap in 1051 or 1052.  I still haven't had a replacement by 1067.    The human trader died at the same time and didn't show up again until I increased the pop cap from 40 to 60 (which ended up in my having nearly 80 dwarfs, they're obviously too drunk to count).  I haven't seen a new dwarf liason yet though.
