Small Caravans
« on: August 13, 2008, 09:43:01 pm »

I have had a fort running and it is a few years old. However one oddity is that the caravans never go above size 2. The dwarves, humans and Kentauri each have 2 wagons and 2 pack animals while the Dark Outcasts and Elves each come with 2 pack animals.

Everytime the caravans come I trade and give them a nice profit. Sometimes giving them massive gifts so they are even happier. But the following year they come back with the same number of wagons/animals. My fort is several years old and is doing great but the caravans aren't becoming any larger. This past time I gave up and edited the size of the wagons so they could carry 3 times as many goods.

Has anyone else noticed caravans not growing at all?

...Kentauri...Dark Outcasts...
The what now? Hahaha. As for the caravan thing, I think this is a bug in 39f, as I've seen this problem mentioned in another thread here somewhere.
