Liason: "I don't think you should dig there"
« on: January 20, 2008, 04:41:00 am »

And then the Liason died before I got to make any requests.  :(

What's going to happen now? I need my anvil still!

Did your liason die or the visiting one die? If it was yours, just assign a new one at the noble screen.

If the visiting one died, then... wait a year?

Visiting one.

..so apart from waiting, no lasting consequences?

Actually, once your liason dies, thats it as far as liasons go. Luckily, anvils are a fairly common trade good, the dwarf traders will usually bring one, the human caravan, if it shows, can easily have 4.

So put effort into making sure that human caravan can get to your depot.

Wait, so you mean you settled in a dangerous area ("I don't think you should dig there") and then the liason got killed by whatever's there?

...WHAT!? You mean there won't be another one!? You've gotta be kidding me! Can't you replace everything else?

New ones come, eventually.

It won't be the next year, but my experience in Landsdiamond proves that liaisons get replaced.  Repeatedly.

Nist Akath hasn't had a new liaison in about 16 years.

They probably only get replaced if they're a fort generated under one of the newer versions.

Steppecastle's liason died sometime three months ago (real time), back in like, 33a. Still been playing the same damned fortress. :P
