Custom Entity Always at "No Trade"
« on: May 07, 2011, 08:11:31 pm »
Hello, everyone. I have a quick question.
Normally, when I embark, I will have one or more civilizations that show the "No Trade" status. I don't usually care all that much, as I have goblin and elf neighbors most of the time.
However, I recently made a civilization that will constantly attack me and is weak as HFS so that I can just slaughter them. They have the same ethics as goblins, so they should always be hostile. However, they ALWAYS, without fail, show up as "No Trade" ont he civilization status screen before embark. I check legends mode, and they are making civilizations. They aren't starving, as they have [No_EAT] and [NO_DRINK]. Here are the raws for them:

My question is twofold:
1) Will a hostile "No Trade" race still attack me?
2) If not, what do I do to remove "No Trade?"

And yes, I have tried moving my embark location. I have not seen that message change across the entire map.
Thank you for help!

They can't trade because they lack the ability to use pack animals. No pack animals means they have nothing to load goods on means they have nothing to bring you means they can't trade.

I'm not sure whether or not trade-incapable races can siege. Giving them [COMMON_DOMESTIC_PACK] shouldn't cause any undesirable behavior, however, and should make them trade-capable.

Hey, thanks! Testing now...

EDIT:
Boom! They trade now! They aren't hostile, but taking out the [CAN_SPEAK] tag a la Fort Defense will work. Thank you again!
