i found the problem with the speech files, they were suposed to go into the data folfer and i put them in my main folder. enjoying the mod so far, good job

[Askot Bokbondeler]

hobgoblins came to trade, i was in dire need of booze and in lack of trade goods, so i ordered for two GCS silk bags and a -steel short sword- to be brought to the depot. the traders, tough, brought nothing but crap. i picked a few scraps of meat and offered them the bags in exchange, they insisted they wanted the sword, but i drove a hard bargain, i cared little for their goods. as soon as we finish our business, a dwarven caravan arrives, and as soon as their guards see the hobgoblin traders they proceed to tear them to pieces, cluttering my depot with crap...

I have no idea what would have caused that. Some sort of weird faction conflict or something I imagine.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

other than the fact that i was trying to play a hard game and was suddenly flooded with an absurd surplus of trade goods, i actually enjoyed this little quirk. it's easy to think of it as a fight between conflicting civs, and makes sense in game. i then proceded to give away most of the hobgobs stuff. time to prepare for the eventual siege.

It'd be great if I could also find out whether flowers work as intended. They're supposed to be harvestable and able to be used for making dye.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

nope, atleast my (fairly unskilled) plant gatherer failed to gather any plants at all after a long session outside facing rain and howlers. i thought the flowers were part of the harder farming and were meant to replace the usual plants and be unharvestable... i'll try again, tough

edit:nope, i just had a peasant reach skilled plant gatherer without gathering a single plant

The Avari, Hobgoblin, and Human merchants fought a three-way battle in and around my Trade depot.  I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature but I like it.  The humans ended up winning and I traded with them.  I also ended up with all the trade goods from the Avari and Hobgoblins for free.

I've definitely gathered plants but nothing called a "flower" or 'flower' anywhere in its name.  I'm in a tropical savage biome.  Unless they can't be planted.  If they are just gathered and used then I'm not sure because I don't have a bookkeeper yet.

Don't believe they can be planted. There are flowers everywhere, though, or should be in most biomes. They don't get called 'flowers' though. They have all sorts of other names.

Is /anything/ getting harvested when you pick plants?

[Askot Bokbondeler]

/nothing/

and i didn't thought they were meant to be planted or anything, i just thought you might have replaced the regular harvestable bushes and replaced the with uselless flowers to make farming more important and difficult

No no, although that may have been a side effect, I think the fact that you've been unable to pick anything is a problem.

[Jaxicat]

I have things called scarlet lady, flame bell, shepherd's blessing, glorycap, and bronzecap.  If any of these are flowers I have them but I can't be sure if I harvested them or got them from the dead caravans.

EDIT: I do know for a fact I was able to harvest some things.  Before any caravans arrived I was able to plant Whip vines and prickle berries.

[Captain Mayday]

those are flowers, yes.
You can turn them into various types of dye.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

the caps are shrooms, i get them too, i brought them with me and have farmed them alright, the flowers i've seen'em in adventurer mode, and see their colorfull sprites in dwarf mode, even tough thei're called shrubs like regular plants. i haven't seen regular bushes, tough, all the plants i get are represented through a colored null characte
