That was supposed to be read as, without stopping other caravans.  Can I piss off the mountainhome?

Getting the king prevents further dwarven caravans from arriving.

I thought it just stopped liasons? If that's true then I'd better stop building roads 'cause I like my Dwarf caravans.

No problem, everyone makes mistakes. It's just that I was curious myself because I knew it stopped something, but I thought it was liaisons. It is. See: http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Liason#Dwarven

Yeah, you'll be lucky to get him by even the 10th year.  I got mine the 8th year and gold and platinum roads yaddha yaddha.

Bleh, decided to make the caravan a group of merchants who travel the north and buy stuff from humans and the like.  Was trying to figure out how to do thing for http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=27939.0

remove the "intelligent" tag from the dwarves, replace with can_civ can_learn. Do not add can_speak. Can_speak is what allows liaisons and I think it also allows caravans.

But then they can't practice their social skills, so your trader will level up slowly. hmmm... decisions decisions.

Remove the active season entry from the dwarven entity definition.  I think this will keep them from sending caravans.  With no active season, there's no time of the year when they'll send one.

It won't work, changes to the entity file require a new world to take effect.
