DF Gameplay Questions / Trade issue.

« on: December 13, 2014, 07:20:55 pm »

I decided to play DF again today after half a year and noticed something strange today:

Is it true that traders can carry a lot less stuff? I couldnt sell more then 30 mugs before they started complaining "i would love to take that but my animals...". Both humans, elves and dwarf caravans complained about this. I remember that back in the day this was never a problem for me, selling 100 mugs was no problemo (6 months back that is)

is this a new feature or just bad luck for me with this fort? If so, what influences the max carry weight merchants have? And can i encourage them brining more "carry animals"?

Thanks,
Bas

If i have to believe the wiki the king is a "lazy noble" (A noble who refuses to do most of the work) but that this feature is currently bugged and he actually will do tasks assigned to him without getting bad thoughts. Actually he can be "satisfied at work", thus becoming happier from working.

I had a fishermen-king in my 2nd fortress. Hurrah!

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Is bee cultivation worth t plus a couple of questions

1. Yes its generally worth it since its not much trouble in the first place. Its some easy food/booze early game.
2. If the dwarf caravan leaves the map safely and with more profit more migrants will come.
3. The outpost liason will tell you updates regarding the world, thats the only way to check i believe. you can also retire and look it up in the legends page of your world!

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: No caravan, still migrants.

Small update:

Still migrants arriving every now and then but i am 3 years further and i only have elven caravans coming along, still no humans or dwarves.
I was besieged by the elven society once for cutting down too many trees but succesfully fended that off! two years later they send a caravan and we were friends again.

Any ideas why i am not getting caravans from my dwarven parent civilization?

DF Gameplay Questions / No caravan, still migrants.

Hello DF community i have a question.

For almost 2 years now i havent got a single human/dwarven caravan at my fortress. At first i thought they both went extinct due to the fact i didnt receive any migrants neither. When i looked at the civilization screen i saw this:

The Human civilisation only shows 1 fishworker and no important people, the dwarven civilisation (Who is my parent civ i believe) however still shows a baroness and quite some others as well.
The elves are still alive and come along every year, so my fortress is reachable.

But now the weird part, I received migrants last year, still no caravan but the migrants are still coming.

Anyone knows what is going on?

Greetings,
Bas
