Prompt when merchants are ready to trade
« on: September 05, 2006, 12:02:00 pm »
This shouldn't be hard... but it'd be nice to have an alert come up when the merchants have unloaded and are ready to trade. When it's just a few elves and a mule or two, it's no big deal, but when the human caravan arrives with four wagons, it takes them the better part of forever to unload and I often forget about them in the course of dealing with more pressing concerns.

How would this be different from the prompt that tells you they are leaving soon?

I've had human caravans so large that I'd recieve the "they're leaving soon" prompt before they finished unloading.  :(

It also happened once with an elf caravan that spawned at the very bottom of the map. Only two of them, but it took forever for them to make it to the depot.
