[39a-f] Trade issue
« on: August 13, 2008, 04:07:27 am »

I've noticed one strange thing in the latest versions - the size of caravans doesn't grow over time.. I.e. I always get only two wagons and two pack animals on each trade from dwarf and humans caravans and respectively two pack animals from elves. Maybe it happens because my fortresses don't fit in some requirements, or I don't fulfil trade agreements fully.. But in previous versions I clearly remember getting big caravans of some 5-8 wagons (at that time I never even get a thought about possible requirements if they indeed exist).

Same here, noticed this as well. Caravans don't seem to grow in size.

I had this too, even when I gave the traders something on the order of 1000% profits.

Likewise.  My most recent (39e) fortress lasted until 220, and I was at just under 100,000 worth of exports compared to about 30,000 imports, and I never saw more than two human or dwarven wagons.

I'm also unable to move toys, mugs, or instruments to the trade depot.

I've found one issue that would potentially cause this.  We can give it a shot for next time.
