Diplomats (33e)
« on: December 11, 2007, 03:10:00 pm »

Starting at 15-th year of my fortress, diplomats just stopped arriving    :confused: . All of them - Human Diplomats, liaisons, Elven Nobles, Merchant Princes. Caravans are arriving as usual. I never killed or insulted any of them. Bug?

Edit: Elven Noble arrived a short time after caravan, but no Merchant princes, meaning no trade agreements.

Did the merchant princess survive last time?  If so, I can take a look at the save and see what's going on.

toadyone@bay12games.com or somewhere downloadable
region folder in some kind of zip/rar/7z
any new objects that were added to the raw folder

No Diplomat ever died in my fortress.

Okay, I've sent the save archive. Never edited raw files.

Okay, I've received it and I'll post back here once I get a chance to look at it.

I've run it through summer a couple of times, and I got the Merchant Prince Uzin Chirpedblade each time, complete with a face sullied with all manners of goo.  Were you interrupted by goblins during the summer?

Edit: This always happens to me. I get bored waiting for something and post a senseless message, and then I get back and regret it. Playing DF in the background at ~5 fps while the lake from hell drains ends up with me pointlessly messing around on forums because nothing else loads.

Human Merchant Prince arrived next year, but I got no liaison from dwarves for the second time.
Seems like I get no liaison because my fortress has mountainhome status. Does that mean that now I should send liaisons to new settlements? But how do I make trade agreements with dwarves then?
Human caravan was interrupted by goblins once, but they only lost 1 merchant and some swordsmen, everybody else got to my depot safely.

If you have the king, then your liaison should now be an advisor worthlessly milling around as a reward for service.  You can't request goods and are awaiting for more game to be written, unfortunately.
