First time encountering this, kind of annoyed. Is there any hope at all that it will be changed to something a little more logical? Two dorfs are going to jail because the baron just had to set a ban after trading was done. And I've had nothing but bad experiences with the jailing system (my experience with beatings is worse though).

Since the Caravan Arc is under way, there should be some attempt to rectify this situation. Yes, that's a bit of a leap. I'm just that irritated.

Well, if you go back to the caravan before they leave, you actually can 'retrade' the banned items back, and you won't be punished for it.

So, you traded them a bin of shields, and then the Baroness bans the export... as long as you buy those shields back before the caravan goes home, you'll be alright.

I only found that out after looking up "mandates" on the wiki. But by then the punishment had already been given. At least I learned something new...

if you trade (the about to be) banned items, the infraction takes place the moment it leaves the map.

Golden chains marked for justice next to a food stockpile, waterfall and masterwork bed. Single purposely crippled migrant for your fortress guard, armed only with a featherwood training mace.  Justice now makes everybody happy, and trains your doctors purposely crippling the guard.

...unless the mandate was given after they'd started packing up.

This is why I try to remember their most common mandates / likes / dislikes.  But, just in case, I have about a dozen golden chains in engraved rooms with nice beds, booze and food stockpiles.

There's also a floodgate at the entrance to seal everyone in (or out) in case of prison riots.  I guess I got used to them demanding such things in 40d.

Also chained dorfs can only move in a 3x3 rectangle. So build a bed, a table, a chair, a food stockpile and 2 drink stockpiles in that room. You can mark the door of that room as inside too, so they will admire it as well. It's described like that in the wiki too.
