Caged Prisoners
« on: July 18, 2010, 12:43:29 pm »

Is there a way to trade caged prisoners like goblin snatchers and random wild animals?  Every time I try to move them into the Trade Depot it just releases them and causes mayhem everywhere.  Thnx

I believe all animals designated for trading needs to be tamed, otherwise it just releases them and causes mayhem everywhere. Not sure if it's a bug.

Just had this problem today as well. I tried to give the Elves a goblin-inna-cage. The goblin escaped and the Elf mechant punched it in the face.

i havent thought about it, but if someone could test this theory..

someone try 'dumping' (with the dump designation) a cage with a wild arnimal over it, ontothe trade depot before trading, the will essentially make it to where the dwarf wont have to handle the cage to trade it becuase its will already be on the depot making distance:0
