39c - Can fortress liaison be replaced?
« on: July 20, 2008, 09:17:12 am »

I was wondering if it's now possible for a fortress liaison from the mountainhomes to be replaced if they meet an unfortunate accident.

In my current fort, the liaison is waiting to meet with the expedition leader, who is unconscious with a red wound and does not seem likely to recover any time soon.

I now have a choice between killing the wounded dwarf so a new leader can be chosen, or waiting to see if he heals, which is more likely to result in the liaison going insane because of being kept waiting for too long.

Liasons willl wait for up to three seasons sometimes.

Red wounds are unlikely to heal in time though.

What about Human guild representatives? Apparently mine showed up already missing a leg and keeps falling unconscious on his crawl to my fort. I figure it's only a matter of time till the zombie mountain goats eat him, or an elephant tramples him.

Yeah it is a problem in the game that hasn't been fixed yet

While Lost limbs won't bleed they have a persistant Phantom pain that lasts for the rest of their life.

I believe Toady is aware of this but hasn't done anything to fix it yet.

I just thought I'd resurrect this to point out that fortress liaisons now seem to be willing to wait a VERY long time to have their meeting.

My expedition leader finally recovered, and the liaison who had been patiently waiting by his bedside for 18 months calmly followed him into his office and held the meeting. No sign of him going mad, though I don't know if this was just luck or if they will generally wait this long.
