I have a trade depot at -3 (fully accessible). I've just had a dwarven caravan arrive, and I did some good trading. Then the merchants said goodbye... and just stood there. Then they went insane. | I have a trade depot at -3 (fully accessible). I've just had a dwarven caravan arrive, and I did some good trading. Then the merchants said goodbye... and just stood there.

Damned if I know. I now make a habit of locking up the outpost liaison because he's gone insane, often berserk, in every game I've played. | Damned if I know. I now make a habit of locking up the outpost liaison because he's gone insane, often berserk, in every game I've played. | ||

Does the presence or absense of a road affect where the human caravan appears? I cleared a nice path for it that it ignored when it appeared on the other side of the map... if I had built a road too, would that have forced it to appear on the road? Or will I eventually need roads in all directions? --[[User:Bobson|Bobson]] 16:04, 7 November 2007 (EST) | Does the presence or absense of a road affect where the human caravan appears?

:In v33a, no caravans need roads. However, I think the human caravan needs a smoothed, 3-wide path to a map edge - but I'm not certain about this. | :In v33a, no caravans need roads.

Does the trade depot need to be out side or on the ground level for the Human wagons to reach it. Can I use stairs or do they need a ramp?

I've had a crash bug associated with the arrival of the human caravan. Interestingly, when I raised my drawbridges, limiting access to my depot to a torturous 1-wide path, the caravan arrived OK with the message along the lines of "the wagons have bypassed this stop." I only got the mule-back traders, but no crash. This repeated the next year. I'm guessing this relates to Toady's comments about a seed pricing bug. It's possible that it's a pathing issue with the wagons, of course.

Can anybody confirm this? It looks like very unlikely to me... --[[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]] 01:40, 26 December 2007 (EST) | Can anybody confirm this? It looks like very unlikely to me... --[[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]] 01:40, 26 December 2007 (EST) | ||
