Missing liaisons
« on: November 15, 2007, 02:54:00 pm »
My fortress is in its second year, getting prepared to head into winter again, yet despite having had the trading caravans come in like normal, there has not be a single liaison to come to my fortress.  The dwarven caravan seem to simply come without them, both times that it has come.

Are you running a dwarven fortress? Or are there any civ-related mods done at all?

Any non-dwarven fort will currently get no liaison whatsoever. That's one of the possible reasons I know.

Yup, it's a dwarven fortress, with no civ mods at all.  Closest thing to modding that I've done has been changing some settings in the init file   :)

Here's what currently happens to me:

I have a subterranean depot. The merchants come and go normally. For some reason, once the liasons finish talking to the broker (yes, the broker, I swore they talked to someone else before 33b,) they are unable to leave. I've seen them move from one meeting room to another (say from a well to a dining room) but they eventually go insane and there's a failed diplomacy message. The diplomat, human or dwarven, will never come again after that.

I suspect you have some combination of the above factors.

Sounds similar, with the only real difference between that and my fortress being that the diplomats never showed once, at any point.

I am starting to wonder if it might be related to not having any stairs going from the surface into my fortress; currently, I just have ramps.  I had thought that I still had my starting stairs when the first dwarven caravan showed up, but I might be mistaken on that point.
