Um. Should I apologize to the humans? :)
« on: January 19, 2008, 02:33:00 am »
So, the merchant warning popped up -- the humans had arrived!  This was wonderful news, as I was swimming in useless trinkets that I wanted to unload in exchange for meat (my map being rather limited in huntable critters).

They got about halfway to my fort and were apparently ambushed by kobold and goblin thieves.  I didn't get a message, I just noticed all my dwarves streaming out thattaway and went to look.  Gobbo and kobold chunks everywhere, and the humans bypassed me entirely, heading right off the map.

And they dropped everything they were carrying... which my greedy dwarves promptly scavenged.

Is this supposed to happen?  Am I going to have to deal with a stuffy human insurance investigator wanting to know about stolen goods?  What's the deal, man?  :)

The humans will probably just be generally mad from what I understand of DF politics. It's just general WHY U NO PROTEKT UNCOMPUTUNT MARCHENTS?

Eat their siege alive with traps and wait for their surrender.   :cool:

If a human Diplomat has seen your traps, then the humans won't trigger them.

Replace the traps?

That being said, I should probably think of something witty to put here.

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

That's why you build the broker's office in an aboveground building.

stealing their stuff once doesn't spark a siege from what I can tell. Especially if you didn't seize their goods but just took them once it was abandoned.

You can get away with seizing all their goods at least once without them storming your fortress. Unless I was just *really* lucky.

I purposely drowned 4 or 5 human caravans in a row and did not get sieged so you should be OK.

Honestly I'm not even sure if they attack you at all, ever, anymore.
