Two merchants at the same time?
« on: February 25, 2011, 08:05:50 pm »

So right now I have both elven merchants and human merchants on my map at the same time. The elves are still in my depot, and the humans are on their way.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I looked at the civ list, and it appears they're also at war with each other. This should be Fun.

Excellent.  You'll be able to pick who you trade with, though I've never had this happen myself, just read.  Or wait, and harvest the elven corpses.  After all, elves don't bring escorts, humans do.

Err, actually, the second I unpaused, the human caravan guards rushed the elves and slaughtered them.

I will be sure to give these hippy-killing humans great deals! On their...half-a-ton of jellyfish.

I'll have to finish my hammer of Armok early.

It's not derailing, it's constructing a new and original train track!

You have offended us with your insulting offer. We will now pack up our sixty thousand pieces of cloth, nine caged cockroaches, and forty million pieces of wooden armor, and leave. Good day.

I SAID GOOD DAY!

Someone is probably building a Dracula-related megaproject.

And if they weren't before, they are now.

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Why Dracula?  Although one player has determined how to make bloodwine, so...  Either way, Armok is God of Blood.  You can store precious blood in the temple, or just litter it around the fort naturally.
