− | Each friendly race will send a caravan | + | Each friendly race will send a caravan once per year, but only if that race considers the fortress site accessible (as denoted on the embark screen). The exception is dwarves, who always arrive. Caravans appear to enter the map from a random direction which does not coincide with the relative direction of the originating [[civilization]], and they may appear from different directions or z-levels each year. Caravans may leave without trading if it takes too long to reach the trade depot, and they cannot use stairs. Caravans will embark on their journey back exactly one month after their arrival, whether they have succeeded in reaching the depot or not. |
Note that if traders or their animals are prevented from leaving, they will eventually go [[insane]]. | Note that if traders or their animals are prevented from leaving, they will eventually go [[insane]]. |
