Trading with multiple civs
« on: October 20, 2010, 10:46:28 pm »
Is there a way to trade with different civs of the same race? I am trying to get sunberries and I changed the human, elf, dwarf active seasons to all of them in hopes of getting different civs showing up. However, all that did was make each of the civs I was already interacting with send a caravan every season.

I know my world has a few different civs for each race.

One of the dwarfs walked in front of Thor to get a better view of the prye, and Thor kicked him irritably into the middle of the flames, which made Thor feel slightly better and made all the dwarfs feel much worse.

There is no way to get the game to do exactly what you want. A single entity will only be represented in your Fortress Mode game by a single civ of that entity.

What you can do is duplicate the human, elven, dwarven, etc entities (in the entity_default file) so you have an [ENTITY:PLAINS], [ENTITY:PLAINSTWO] etc. Each duplicate is capable of sending a caravan to your fort once per season. This requires a new world though.

If this is done with Elf entities, will they eat each other's fallen corpses?
