That much is clear, indeed.  Did you notice them dying on their way in, or only on their way out?

[chewd]

Mine died on the way in.. The rest turned back & left.
I'm gearing up for the inevitable elf siege now.

[Fenrir]

I caught three dwarf merchants in the cages protecting my depot from thieves. I tried to trade them at the depot (there were other merchants), but they were unfortunately released.
Can you tame captured merchants?

[Gaulgath]

Here is how I dealt with this problem.

[Railick Stonemane]

You should be able to mind wash captured merchants and guards into becoming your mindless slaves.

[chewd]

Okay... the human guild rep just walked in through all my traps with no probs... think he'll get caught on the way out?

<STRONG>Yea... stonefall traps also work on merchants now.

This also works on the elf merchants   </STRONG>

Fixed.

[Griz]

this affects all saves, not just old ones - I generated a new world, started a fort, and had the liaison die to a stonefall trap on his way in.

[Baro]

well luckily sieges aren't really working, and traps don't tend to work on thieves and such, so probably to just leave traps out till toady fixes this rather comical oversight.

I'm sticking with drawbridges for security.  I've got a panic button that buttons my fort up nicely.

[Patarak]

How exactly aren't seiges working?

[Fenrir]

Does the [INTELLIGENT] tag prevent the taming of merchants?

[Thallone]

apparently this also affects your own

From the gamelog, spot the line that mightnot belong...

yeah, smashing peasants in stonefall traps seems a bit much, especially when they're your own dwarf peasants.

no, the lack of a [PET] tag does

[Fenrir]

*evil grin*

[Baro]

was your peasant who was killed an arriving immigrant? that might explain it, as they arn't totally flagged as citizens until they reach your meeting point
