So, I had just whacked my first minotaur(who had promptly ignored the entire squad in favor of strangling one of the new recruits, a thick-necked one nonetheless), when the dwarven caravan arrived with the outpost liaison. At the exact same time and place two goblin squads arrived to harass my fort.....
The goblins went straight for the wagons and butchered them, the merchants went insane at the same time as the yaks pulling the wagons, while the outpost liaison ran away for a bit before going insane himself and being wrecked by a goblin. The squad of elite dwarf soldiers woke up and eliminated the goblins quickly, then with nothing to do left the map.
Now I get a message that the caravan is preparing to leave, though I don't see how this bunch of melancholic and babbling merchants and yaks can prepare anything lol
. At least they'll serve as a warning for when the new ambush arrives.
Does building a road to the edge of the map make the caravan spawn there? Getting all this free stuff is not fun anymore, takes years to move it to my fort and I generally don't get it before the next ambush arrives. And i have TONS of gold and platinum crafts just waiting to be sold
PS: Does choosing an embark zone near a fort have any serious consequences?
Cheers
