Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

With how easy it is to create wealth, I don't even care about trader profits. I just give them about twice as many roasts as needed to buy whatever I need, and hopefully there will be more traders next year. I think I read somewhere, that huge trader profit meant bigger caravans, which is good.

only a huge load of mugs, made solely for the purpose of creating tradeable items...
is there something better to trade that isn't useful, or is highly renewable and still profitable?

Last two trades with the dwarf caravans gave me profits of 600k+ dorfbucks.  That's because I have a ton of gold to crank out crafts, and I payed attention to the stuff Mountainhome wanted me to sell them.
