[0.31.01]Elf caravan carrying an obscene amount of cargo
« on: April 02, 2010, 05:02:49 am »

Elf caravan came with standard 3-5 pack mules or so.  On the trade screen, however they were carrying approximately 10+pages of each KIND of item that they brought.  I bought 350 muck root tubers, 200 rat weed, 5 grizzly bears, and about 600 booze before I ran out of stuff to trade(its year 1, gimme a break).  Thats not even scratching the surface of all the stuff they had.

Additionally, since they had so many items to pack onto their poor mules, it took them 2 seasons to finish packing up and leave.

This is standard worldgen, Medium Island world, if that matters.

Well, considering item weights are now more realistic I imagine that, since pack animals haven't had their carrying capacity changed, they can carry all that now.  If you want to change it it should probably reduce their [trADE_CAPACITY:#].

You'd need a lot of mules to carry 5 grizzly bears, bro.

Obscene is the perfect word for what they stacked onto those two donkies. Donkeys. Whatever. I sent the first caravan away with 2500 wiorth of profit and next spring they bring what must be close to six hundred items loaded onto two pack animals.

I just got the same, including 32 different caged animals, including several elephants.

Additionally, rather than Donkeys/Mules/Horses, the Elves have decided to use Warthogs to transport their goods.

Hi!

I just wanted to point out that it is probably NOT an elven problem. I have not seen a single caravan wagon in the 2010 version yet, but with just 3 pack animals, dwarves and humans bring about the same amount of metal items as they did when they had wagons with them, I think.

Along with a lot of other things, they bring me four elephants. Three mules - four elephants.

Those must be the new Pocket Pachyderms I've heard so much about, lately.

Kids these days, with their weird mechanical hamsters and miniaturized elephants...

I havent even seen a single wagon either, the normal dorf caravan comes with pack animals and carries fair amount more than i would even see in a wagon caravan

He he he.  Yeah, it almost looks done...  alas...  those who are in your teens, hold on until your twenties...  those in your twenties, your thirties...  others, cling to life as you are able...
It should be pretty fun though.

The wagon thing might be an actual change - I'm planning on setting up a road to the edge of the map, I'll see if that gets caravans to bring them.

That's clever actually, one of the supposed changes is that you can build on map edge. A road being required would be a nice change indeed.

Wagon shape has changed too. They have an extra square between the pack animals. At least my starting wagon did.

Don't call this a bug! I was happy that it was finally worthwhile to trade with the Elves.

Wood, lots of barrels, lots of liquor, seeds, exotic animals, I was in trader heaven.

Who wants them to go back to bringing in 4 bins of cloth and a bloated tuber?
