Allowing trade anywhere
« on: September 25, 2010, 02:20:02 pm »

Is there any way to change trade so that no matter where you are, all tradable civilizations with send caravans? I hate starting in awesome locations and not trading with anyone because of their isolated nature.

Sadly no. There are two requirements for trade. There must be a civilisation of the entity definition that survived world generation and it must have unblocked access to your fortress. Mountains, lakes and oceans block trade, although they are at least smart enough to go around if possible.

Islands are rather problematic.
