[40d16] Elf Traders went for a stroll while still trading [Resolved]
« on: December 23, 2009, 01:08:17 pm »
Using Mayday DFG21, ported save from DFG16.

The elf traders, while not yet departed, went for a stroll around my water pit, and are now back around the depot. They embarked normally, taking their stuff with them.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Traders will flee away from any hostile units if approached. Once the threat has gone or has otherwise been eliminated, they will return their camels to the depot.

I once shot a bear in the eye with a bow on the first shot, cut it up, found another one, and shot it in the eye too. The collective pile of meat weighed more than my house.

They were inside of my fortress, there were no threats whatsoever.

Not even captured goblin soldiers being hauled from one cage to another? Or creatures hiding deep within a chasm?

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Hmm, I'm unsure whether there were caged goblins. I'd deconstructed the cage traps some years ago, but I know I waited a long while before burning them in the magma pit. Let's go with hauled goblins then.
