DAMN MERCHANTS STEALING MAH GOODS
« on: January 16, 2011, 03:36:21 pm »
Yeah, i discovered why you don;t want to build the goods stockpiles TOO close to the Depot. Turns out the sneaky little blighters steal from you if your stockpile is within 1 square of walking distance. They went, right in front of me, and stole three gold goblets worth around 5k each.

Blasted elves. I set my militia loose on them.

Don;t know if humans or other dwarves do this though. It was kinda a surprise for me when I saw the elves do it.

Destroy the depot beneath their feet and steal everything they have. Ah, bittersweet vengeance...

Magmadumping doesn't involve blood either :P
Also there are people who just aren't that good with the military *cough* so a siege is probably the worst that could happen.

Magma melts skin, and makes them bleed that way, with the added bonus of also incinerating all of the blood so there is no cleanup.

It melts the fat first.  Talk about a lean steak.

Not really, I just saw it happen when they picked op to leave, they stood in the middle of the Depot like they normally do, but all of a sudden, I see them walk over and take the goblet.

I'll try to recreate best I can.

The elves won't attack you for killing their caravan once. :o

I had 4 seperate caravans killed by goblin sieges and Cyclops attacks and they kept coming back. I got to keep everything in the trade depot every time. Made me think about the viability of capturing monsters in cages and then building them next to the trade depot and opening them when I needed free stuff  :P
