| {{text anchor|ADOPTS_OWNER}}

! width="20%" | Token
! width="10%" | Type
! width="20%" | Arguments
! width="50%" | Description

|-
| {{text anchor|BABY}}

| integer
| Age at which creature is considered a child. Default is zero. One can think of this as the duration of the baby stage.

|-
| {{text anchor|BABYNAME}}

| singular:plural
| Defines a new name for a creature in baby state at the caste level. For non-caste-specific baby names, see GENERAL_BABY_NAME.

|-

|-
| {{text anchor|BENIGN}}

|
| The creature is non-aggressive by default and will never automatically be engaged by companions or soldiers. It will run away from any creatures that are not friendly to it. Can be thought of as the counterpoint of the {{text anchor|LARGE_PREDATOR}} tag. When tamed, animals with this tag will be useless for fortress defense.

|-
| {{text anchor|BIOME}}
| Creature
|
* [[biome token]]
| Select a [[Biome]] the creature may appear in.

|-
| {{text anchor|BLOOD}}
| Caste
|

|
| Seems to be required to make the creature denouncable as a creature of the night.

|-
| {{text anchor|BODY}}
| Caste
| body parts
| Draws body parts from OBJECT:BODY files (such as body_default.txt)
'''Example:'''<br />
[BODY:BODY_WITH_HEAD_FLAG:HEART:GUTS:BRAIN:MOUTH] <br />
This is the body from a [[Purring maggot]]. It creates a body with head, a heart, some guts, a brain, and a mouth. That's all a maggot needs.

|-
| {{text anchor|BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER}}
| Caste
|
*ATTRIBUTE
*lowest:lower:low:median:high:higher:highest
| These body modifiers give individual creatures different characteristics. In the case of HEIGHT, BROADNESS and LENGTH, the modifier is also a percentage change to the BODY_SIZE of the individual creature. The seven numbers afterward give a distribution of ranges. Each interval has an equal chance of occurring.
'''Example:'''<br />
[BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:HEIGHT:90:95:98:100:102:105:110] <br />
''HEIGHT'' : marks the height to be changed <br />
''90:95:98:100:102:105:110'' : sets the range from the shortest (90% of the average height) to the tallest (110% of the average height) creature variation.

|-
| {{text anchor|BODY_DETAIL_PLAN}}
| Caste
| PlanName, PlanName:type:type:type:etc.
| loads a plan listed OBJECT:BODY_DETAIL_PLAN files, such as b_detail_plan_default.txt. Mass applies USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE, mass alters RELSIZE, alters body part positions, and will allow tissue layers to be defined. Tissue layers are defined in order of skin to bone here.
'''Example:'''<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE] <br />
This creates the detailed body of a [[fox]], the skin, fat, muscle, bones and cartilage out of the vertebrate tissues.<br />
A [[Purring maggot|maggot]] would only need:<br />
''[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:EXOSKELETON_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE]''

|-
| {{text anchor|BODY_SIZE}}
| Caste
| years:days:size
| Sets size at a given age. Size is in cubic centimeters, and for normal body materials is roughly equal to the creature's average weight in grams.
'''Example:'''<br />
[BODY_SIZE:0:0:10000]<br />
[BODY_SIZE:1:168:50000]<br />
[BODY_SIZE:12:0:220000]<br />
This describes the size of a [[minotaur]]. His birth size would be 10,000 cm<sup>3</sup> (~10 kg). At 1 year and 168 days old he would be 50,000 cm<sup>3</sup> (~50 kg). And as an adult (at 12 years old) he would be 220,000 cm<sup>3</sup> and weigh roughly 220 kg.

|-

The default setting for kobolds (a yellow quotation mark) provides a nice "glowing eyes" effect. The game is also hardcoded to automatically convert quotation mark GLOWTILES into apostrophes if the creature has lost one eye. This works at the generic creature level - for caste-specific glow tiles, use CASTE_GLOWTILE instead.

| Found on bogeymen. Creatures with this tag will join other bogeymen in attacking adventurers at night, and will also adopt their other behaviors, such as vanishing in smoke upon being killed.

The creature will settle in a lair and go on rampages during worldgen. If this creature has SPOUSE_CONVERTER, it will actively attempt to seek out potential conversion targets to abduct, convert, and have children with (if possible).

This tag causes the usual behaviour of [[werebeast]]s in worldgen, that is, fleeing towns upon being cursed and conducting raids from a lair. If this tag is absent from a deity curse, the accursed will simply be driven out of towns in a similar manner to [[vampire]]s.

|-
| {{text anchor|BABYNAME}}

| [[Whale]]s and [[Sea nettle jellyfish|jellyfish]] have this. Controls the beaching frequency of the creature.

|-
| {{text anchor|BENIGN}}
| Caste
|
| The creature is non-aggressive by default and will never automatically be engaged by companions or soldiers. It will run away from any creatures that are not friendly to it. Can be thought of as the counterpoint of the {{text anchor|LARGE_PREDATOR}} tag. When tamed, animals with this tag will be useless for fortress defense.

| body parts
| Draws body parts from OBJECT:BODY files (such as body_default.txt)
'''Example:'''<br />
[BODY:BODY_WITH_HEAD_FLAG:HEART:GUTS:BRAIN:MOUTH] <br />
This is the body from a [[Purring maggot]]. It creates a body with head, a heart, some guts, a brain, and a mouth. That's all a maggot needs.

|-
| {{text anchor|BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER}}
| Caste
|
*ATTRIBUTE
*lowest:lower:low:median:high:higher:highest
| These body modifiers give individual creatures different characteristics. In the case of HEIGHT, BROADNESS and LENGTH, the modifier is also a percentage change to the BODY_SIZE of the individual creature. The seven numbers afterward give a distribution of ranges. Each interval has an equal chance of occurring.
'''Example:'''<br />
[BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:HEIGHT:90:95:98:100:102:105:110] <br />
''HEIGHT'' : marks the height to be changed <br />
''90:95:98:100:102:105:110'' : sets the range from the shortest (90% of the average height) to the tallest (110% of the average height) creature variation.

|-
| {{text anchor|BODY_DETAIL_PLAN}}
| Caste
| PlanName, PlanName:type:type:type:etc.
| loads a plan listed OBJECT:BODY_DETAIL_PLAN files, such as b_detail_plan_default.txt. Mass applies USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE, mass alters RELSIZE, alters body part positions, and will allow tissue layers to be defined. Tissue layers are defined in order of skin to bone here.
'''Example:'''<br />
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE] <br />
This creates the detailed body of a [[fox]], the skin, fat, muscle, bones and cartilage out of the vertebrate tissues.<br />
A [[Purring maggot|maggot]] would only need:<br />
''[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:EXOSKELETON_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE]''

|-

[BODY_SIZE:0:0:10000]<br />
[BODY_SIZE:1:168:50000]<br />
[BODY_SIZE:12:0:220000]<br />
This describes the size of a [[minotaur]]. His birth size would be 10,000 cm<sup>3</sup> (~10 kg). At 1 year and 168 days old he would be 50,000 cm<sup>3</sup> (~50 kg). And as an adult (at 12 years old) he would be 220,000 cm<sup>3</sup> and weigh roughly 220 kg.

| Found on bogeymen. Creatures with this tag will join other bogeymen in attacking adventurers at night, and will also adopt their other behaviors, such as vanishing in smoke upon being killed.

The creature will settle in a lair and go on rampages during worldgen. If this creature has SPOUSE_CONVERTER, it will actively attempt to seek out potential conversion targets to abduct, convert, and have children with (if possible).

This tag causes the usual behaviour of [[werebeast]]s in worldgen, that is, fleeing towns upon being cursed and conducting raids from a lair. If this tag is absent from a deity curse, the accursed will simply be driven out of towns in a similar manner to [[vampire]]s.

{{av}}{{Category|Creatures}}

In Dwarf Fortress, a '''creature''' is defined as any animate, normally-mobile (and for the sake of this article, non-[[vermin]]) being that can interact with the world. Although most creatures are animals, [[dwarf|dwarves]], [[giant cave spider]]s, and even [[megabeast]]s are all also considered creatures. Various creatures can and will interact with a fortress or adventure in many different ways.

==Reading the Table==
{{CreatureCurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Playable:''' If "No", the creature is not playable. "Fort" indicates that the creature is playable in Dwarf Fortress mode. "Adv" indicates that creature is playable in Adventure mode. (Note that creatures that are usually unplayable in adventure mode (such as Goblins) may be made playable by the world's history.)

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly. [[Undead]] creatures are always hostile to living things.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The average size of the creature when an adult. This can be anywhere from 500 for a [[rabbit]] to 25,000,000 for a [[dragon]]. More or less equals the creature's weight in grams. These sizes do not correspond to the sizes which trigger [[pressure plate]]s. Size is modified with height and broadness (i.e. incredible skinny and short is below the average weight, while a fat and tall one is above it).

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

'''Biome:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

Vjmdhzgr: /* Months and seasons */

{{quality|exceptional}}
{{av}}

The dwarven '''calendar''' is used to display the day, month, and year of any given date, and is visible in the upper right corner of the [[Status]] Screen ({{key|z}}). There are 12 months in the dwarven year divided into 4 seasons of 3 months each. Unlike the traditional Gregorian calendar, each dwarven month is exactly 4 weeks long, or 28 days, for a total of 336 days in a year. New Year's Day and the first day of Spring both fall on the 1st of Granite. New Year's Eve and the last day of Winter both fall on the 28th of Obsidian. The months are named after kinds of [[stone]]s, [[ore]], [[gem]]s and [[wood]].

The game's first playable year begins whenever the world stops generating. By default, the world will stop genning at year 250. Worldgen can be set to stop at several distinct years ranging from 5 to 1050 when selecting ''Create a World'', and can also be set to any arbitrary year by editing the advanced option ''End Year'' in the ''Design New World with Advanced Parameters'' screen, or by interrupting world generation.

<nowiki>*</nowiki> If you have modded the game to not be at war with the Goblins then they will send caravans to you and you will be able to trade with them, but only if you have also modded them to have pack animals. If you do then they will send caravans every season not just in Winter.

There are also full moons on certain fixed dates every year. Werebeasts will transform into their werebeast form on these days:

*25th granite
*23rd slate
*21st felsite
*19th hematite
*17th malachite
*15th galena
*13th limestone
*11th sandstone
*8th timber
*6th moonstone
*4th opal
*2nd obsidian
*28th obsidian

== Farming ==

The seasons correspond to growing seasons from the [[farm plot]] {{k|q}} menu, which dictate what can be grown when during the year. (See the list of [[crop]]s.) It should be noted that crops grow during seasons regardless of the actual weather, so any crops that grow during the spring will do so regardless of how much rain your area gets.

== Trading ==

Civilizations will visit your fortress based on what season it currently is. Trade caravans for each race show up during the specific seasons each year, with the elves arriving during the Spring, the humans during the Summer, and the dwarves during the Autumn. No caravans arrive for the winter (with the exception of goblins, if your civilization is at peace with them), so it's smart to stock up on food and drink during the fall (or autumn to those of you more educated people).

== Ages ==

In addition to the year, a world's history is also divided into ages. An age can be seen as an epoch, something which defines the period of years it describes. The age itself has no bearing on gameplay other than as categorization in [[Legends]] mode, though players may witness a change in age (with an accompanied announcement) should their actions cause the current age to end. This may happen after killing a large number of [[megabeast]]s.

[[File:Dwarven_Age.png]]

Ages are determined by the states of the world during world generation. Worlds start in the Age of Myth, though this may not always hold true if changes to world gen parameters are made. Some of the known things that influence the ages are number of megabeasts currently living and dominant civilizations. It is also possible for a world to enter a particular Age more than once (e.g., ''The Second Age of Legends'') if the appropriate conditions are met.

=== Known Ages ===
Below is a list of 'Ages' that may occur, an explanation and their (possible) triggers, and their in-game descriptions. [[World_generation#World_Size|World size]] may affect how long an age lasts. Because the age is dependent on variables such as number of megabeasts, number of civilized creatures, etc., smaller worlds will tend to change ages more frequently. Conversely, larger worlds tend to be more age-stable.

==== Great Powers in Control ====
If there are more than 3 significant powers (historical figures with the [POWER] or [MEGABEAST]/[TITAN] [[creature token]]s) in a world when it begins, then it will progress through the ages of Myth, Legends, and Heroes. If there are 3 or less, then it will progress through the various Ages of Powers.

;The Age of Myth
: The number of living powers and megabeasts is at least 2/3 of what it was when the world began.
:: ''The Age of Myth was a time when living gods and mighty beasts still held sway.''
;The Age of Legends
: The number of living powers and megabeasts is at least 1/3 of what it was when the world began.
:: ''The Age of Legends was a time when the powers of the world were fading.''
;The Age of Heroes
: The number of living powers and megabeasts is greater than zero.
:: ''The Age of Heroes was a time when the last of the powers fought their final battles.''

In larger worlds, the proliferation (and extermination) of [[necromancer]]s, [[vampire]]s, and [[werebeast]]s during world generation can cause the age to ''regress'' back to Myth, sometimes multiple times.

;The Age of Three Powers
: Exactly three powers are alive in the world. If a world starts with 3 powers and manages to progress beyond that, it will proceed to the Age of Myth.
:: ''The Age of Three Powers was a time when the dragon Flarrgh, the demon Blarrgh and the titan Glarrgh were the only great powers in the world.''
;The Age of (Race) and (Race)
;The Age of Two (Race)s
: Exactly two powers are alive in the world.
:: ''The Age of Dragon and Demon was a time when the dragon Flarrgh and the demon Blarrgh were the only great powers in the world.''
:: ''The Age of Two Dragons was a time when the dragon Flarrgh and the dragon Blarrgh were the only great powers in the world.''
;The Age of (Name)
;The Age of the (Race)
;The (Racial) Age
: Exactly one power is alive in the world. The name style is selected randomly.
:: ''The Age of the Hydra was a time when the hydra Flarrgh was the only great power in the world.''
:: ''The Age of Flarrgh was a time when the titan Flarrgh was the only great power in the world.''
:: ''The Draconic Age was a time when the dragon Flarrgh was the only great power in the world.''

==== No Great Powers ====
Once there are no powers left in the world, the ages will proceed as follows.

;The Age of (Race)
;The (Racial) Age
:Less than 50% of all civilized creatures are [[Creature token#MUNDANE|mundane]], and the majority are of one race. The name style is selected randomly.
:: ''The Age of Dwarves was a time when dwarves ruled the world.''
;The Golden Age
:Less than 50% of all civilized creatures are [[Creature token#MUNDANE|mundane]], but there is no single majority.
:: ''The Golden Age was a time when various civilized races peopled the world.''
;The Twilight Age
:Between 50% and 90% of all civilized creatures are [[Creature token#MUNDANE|mundane]].
:: ''The Twilight Age was a time when fantastic creatures no longer lived in great numbers.''
;The Age of Fairy Tales
:Over 90% of all civilized creatures are [[Creature token#MUNDANE|mundane]], but some non-mundane ones still remain. Toady One' quote from 2008 devlog: <blockquote>"I finally saw a world arrive at the Age of Fairy Tales, which happens if mundane creatures (ie humans) make up at least 90% of the world's civilized population with the requirement that there are still a few fantasy creatures lurking around. In this case, it was a kobold cave that their scouts never found. I guess all of the fairy tales were about people having their crap stolen."</blockquote>
:: ''The Age of Fairy Tales was a time when fantastic creatures were few and far between, and some even doubted their existence.''
;The Age of Civilization
:All civilized creatures are mundane, and all semi-megabeasts have been vanquished.
:: ''The Age of Civilization was a time when fantastic creatures were but mere stories told by travelers.''
;The Age of Death
:All civilized creatures are dead, and the world has passed through at least one Age of Twilight, Age of Fairy Tales, Age of (Race), Golden Age, or Age of Civilization.
:: ''The Age of Death was a time after civilization had crumbled completely.''
;The Age of Emptiness
:All civilized creatures are dead, but the world never progressed beyond the Ages of Myth, Legends, Heroes, or Powers.
:: ''The Age of Emptiness was a time when no civilized peoples existed in the world.''
:: ''The Age of Emptiness was a time when only simple creatures inhabited the world.''

A world that ends generation in the Age of Death or the Age of Emptiness will only allow games to be started in [[Legends|Legends mode]] or [[Adventurer mode]].

==Announcements==
A change in the season will generate an [[announcement]]. Depending on the biome your fortress is in, the announced season may be different from the calendar season. For example, in some biomes "wet" and "dry" seasons replace spring or summer. A few biomes lack any change in weather and those biomes announce a change of season by "-season- has arrived on the calendar." Regardless, plants and caravans always follow the calendar season listed on the status screen.

Vjmdhzgr: /* Goblins and Kobolds */

{{quality|Fine}}{{av}}

'''Trading''' in Dwarf Fortress first occurs in the first [[Calendar|autumn]] after establishing your fortress, with the arrival of the [[dwarf|Dwarven]] [[Trading#Caravans|caravan]]. Trading is a good way to acquire resources that are not readily available in the local area. It also allows for more freedom in selecting starting gear and skills at [[embark]], since neglected items can be obtained through trade later.

'''Trader''' is the term used at your [[trade depot]] to refer to your fortress representative when dealing with merchants in a visiting caravan ({{key|r}} - "''Trader requested at Depot"''). As a [[profession]], the term applies to visiting merchants and dwarves whose highest [[skill]] is [[Appraiser]].

== Trade Depot ==
{{Main|Trade depot}}
Building a [[trade depot]] is a pre-requisite for trade with caravans that arrive at your fortress.

While it may be convenient to build a Trade Depot outside at first, it is usually a good idea to move it inside or secure it with [[wall]]s, [[bridge]]s and other fortifications to protect caravans and your goods from [[steals drink|thirsty animals]], [[thief|thieves]] and [[goblin]]s.

Everything that is on your map belongs to you, except:
* the items that are on merchant animals and wagons
* the items that are on the trade depot (they belong to the caravan until they are moved out of it)
* items worn by non-fortress units are initially forbidden, but can be claimed via unforbidding and dumping them

==Trading Flowchart ==
{{:Trading/Flowchart}}

==Trader to depot==
Before you can begin trading, your fortress's representative trader must be at the [[trade depot]]. Select the [[trade depot]] with {{K|q}} and then {{k|r}}equest the trader. Be sure that {{k|b}} reads "Only broker may trade" if you want your [[broker]] to represent your fortress. If it reads "Anyone can trade", a random, probably unskilled dwarf will volunteer to conduct the trade. Pressing {{k|b}} will toggle this setting. Once your trader has arrived, select the depot again with {{k|q}} and enter the {{k|t}}rade menu. In the trade menu select the items to offer from the right and the desired items from the left. All caravans have a weight limit which cannot be exceeded, and the allowed additional weight is displayed in the lower right corner. If your broker (specifically, not necessarily your trader) has at least Novice or better [[Appraisal]] skill, the value of all items will be displayed. Once the proposal is ready, press {{K|t}} to propose the trade, but merchants will not agree unless they make adequate profit. Be sure to use '''trade''', not '''offer''' {{K|o}}, as this will make a gift of the selected items. The amount of acceptable profit is determined by the trader's [[Broker skills|skills]] and the merchant's mood, described below. Merchants may attempt to propose counteroffers if they do not accept the proposal, which can then be accepted, rejected, or further amended by the trader.

With more experienced traders and pleased merchants, even marginally profitable trades can be successful, and counterproposals can be rejected safely, offering the same trade again. Note however that a low profit margin for the traders may not be desirable - it has been suggested that both export and profit numbers influence the size of next years caravan and, in the case of the dwarven caravan, immigration numbers.{{Verify}}

Goods brought by caravans rarely have base quality higher than superior, and decorations on a good rarely exceed superior as well.

== Trading cue colors ==

* {{DFtext|Brown|6:0}} Items have been created (or modified) by your fortress. They can be traded away or offered as a gift.
* {{DFtext|Gray|7:0}} Items were created by another source. They can be traded, but if one of these items has been selected, the entire selection cannot be offered as a gift.
* {{DFtext|Purple|5:0}} Items are under a no-export mandate. If they are traded away it will result in disciplinary action (see [[justice]]) against the dwarf that brought the item to the depot.
* {{DFtext|Green|2:0}} Items have just been gifted to the caravan and they will not trade it back.
* {{DFtext|Red|4:0}} Items have been seized from another caravan and cannot be traded as is; you will need to decorate them or turn them into other items for them to become "valid" trading items.

Note that containers (barrels, bins, etc.) will be displayed according to the origin of the ''container'', not the contents. So a foreign barrel holding locally-produced beer will display as foreign (white). Once you {{k|v}}iew the container, the locally-made contents are displayed as local (brown).

== Merchant mood ==
If your trader has Novice or better [[Judge of intent]] skill, there will be a line added below the merchant's dialogue describing the caravan's attitude. Their attitude rises with successful trades (especially if they get lots of profit) and falls when you propose deals they don't like. You can never make a deal that's at loss for the merchant, even if they are at the highest possible mood.

* (trader) seems ecstatic with the trading
* (trader) seems very happy about the trading
* (trader) seems pleased with the trading
* (trader) seems willing to trade
* (trader) seems to be rapidly losing patience
* (trader) is not going to take much more of this
* (trader) is unwilling to trade

The happier you make a merchant, the less profit margin he will demand in a trade. If merchants reach the lowest level, no further trade will be possible, and they will immediately pack up and leave your depot. Since annoyed traders are more likely to reject deals, you should be generous in initial negotiations. Skilled negotiators seem less likely to offend traders with unsuccessful deals.

An easy way to capitalize on this mood system is to perform several partial trades. First trade for a few items, offering goods twice the value of the items you ask for (e.g. offer 2000☼ for 1000☼ of his stuff). This will likely make the merchant ecstatic about trading with you. Perform the next trades with a vengeance. With the merchant in such a good mood, he is more likely to counteroffer than reject a trade outright.

== Seizing items ==

Pressing {{K|s}} from the trade menu will seize the selected items of the merchant's. If you seize goods from a caravan, the merchant will respond "Take what you want. I can't stop you." and then leave immediately without the seized goods. Items cannot be seized from the dwarven caravan, and other races will not buy goods stolen from one of their caravans (then marked in red) unless they are tricked into asking for them via counteroffer, or the items are "laundered" by decoration or used to create other goods. Seizing goods will hurt diplomatic relations, but is not grounds for an automatic [[siege]].

Pressing the seize button while no goods are selected will result in the merchant interpreting your seizure as a joke. This apparently does nothing to benefit or hinder your trading.

As a side note, if you deconstruct your trade depot with a caravan in it, all the caravan's items will drop to the ground, to be readily hauled away by your Dwarves. This does not mark the items as stolen, and the caravan will leave. However, ''next'' year's caravan is partly based on the profits from the previous year - so if you are relying on that race's caravans for needed items, you're hurting yourself in the long run.

Another way to steal without marking as stolen is to forbid the trade depot just before they leave, causing them to leave their goods at the depot.

If you're using the search plugin for [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] (e.g. from the [[Utility:Lazy Newb Pack|Lazy Newb Pack]]), be warned that {{K|s}} means "seize" and '''NOT''' "search", and there is '''no warning''' for it. Use {{K|q}} to search the merchant's goods and {{K|w}} to search yours.

Note that the civilization attached to a particular caravan will keep track of the value of items the caravan was carrying when they set out to trade, and they will compare this value with the value of items they return home with. Regardless of what method you use to confiscate items from a caravan, even if you came to possess the goods through no fault of your own (an [[ambush]] killed the traders and guards, for example) the parent civilization may decide that you stole from them and send a [[siege]] instead of a caravan the following year. It is prudent to take measures to protect caravans visiting your lands!

==Offering items==

{{key|o}} You can also give away items, as gifts to the leaders of the [[civilization]] you are trading with. This presumably helps relations between yourself and the other faction, though there is not yet a clear correlation between the value of the offerings and the improvement to relations. The exact effects of offerings on trading are unknown but it is believed due to the offerings' net trade value being counted towards the traders' profit, possibly with a modifier (possibly a multiplier of more than 1 as a bonus or less than 1 to compensate for the improved relations){{Verify}}, which in turn increases the quantity and variety of trade goods brought by next year's caravan. Also the [[King]] requires offerings to be made before his arrival. You cannot offer items that were not made at your fortress; the traders do not want your spare [[Goblinite]] clothes..

Unless you are looking for [[fun]], under no conditions should you offer or trade items which are wooden or used wood in their creation (clear glass, for example) to [[elves]], as this will insult the traders, and may cause them to leave or even damage relations enough to provoke a war between you and the elven civilization you traded with. They will accept their own "grown wood" items in trade without insult, however.

== Miscellaneous Trading Advice ==
* Thieves and thieving critters tend to follow caravans. Expect assaults and intruders.
* Create your trading depot inside your fort, preferably in the beginning. Place a 3-tile wide path (which must be free of obstructions such as stairways, traps, minecart tracks and boulders) to the entrance of the fort and position war dogs along it (chains do not block wagons); this will help to protect the traders and keep the depot close to your supplies.
* Avoid having multiple wagon paths to your depot. Caravan [[wagon]]s cannot move through each other, and if two wagons happen to meet at a fork they may become gridlocked against each other, resulting in the destruction of wagons and loss of trade opportunities.
* All caravans will bring extra food (meat and edible plants), wooden logs, and cloth/leather (for making clothes) if the supplies of your fortress are low enough, independent of whether or not you requested them. This does not apply in the case that the weight limit is exceeded by (other) items you requested. The supply situation, as observed by traders, is based solely on the number of unforbidden items in your fortress, stockpiled or not; thus, it is possible to trick caravans into thinking your supplies are low by [[forbid]]ding all of your relevant stocks immediately prior to their arrival.
**In order to '''avoid''' this behavior, you should make sure that, for each dwarf in your fortress, you have the following ''unforbidden'' items:
*** 5 pieces of food - meat, fish, plants, or "other" in your [[Status]] screen (even though "other" includes inedible items)
*** 1 wood log
*** 5 pieces of cloth, pieces of leather, or complete sets of [[wear|pristine]] clothing (shirt+pants+shoe)
* Define your trade depot as a burrow. When traders arrive, you can add your broker or another dwarf, perhaps one you want to train in trading, to the burrow. They will head to the depot immediately, and stay there until you remove them from the burrow.
* Each trade you make (regardless of value) will increase your trader's skills by 50, distributed among Comedian, Flatterer, Intimidator, Judge of Intent, Negotiator, and Persuader. Each skill seems to gain around 5-15 experience points, but the sum will always be 50. The skill gain occurs as soon as the "t" button is pressed - if the offer is rejected, the dwarf will still gain 50 points. If the same offer is subsequently accepted, no additional skill will be gained.
* Selecting "only broker may trade" ensures that you will start negotiations with a decently-skilled trader, but also requires a significant wait while your broker makes his way to the depot (possibly months if he is "[[on break]]"). Selecting "anyone can trade" will result in a poorly-trained trader arriving immediately. Once your fortress is producing enough goods to buy out the caravan, waiting for your broker is unnecessary; allowing your commoners to trade spreads out the trading skill gains and eliminates the micromanagement of trying to get your broker to the depot in a timely manner.

== Caravans ==
Each friendly race will send a caravan per year, linked to one season, which is autumn for dwarves, summer for humans, spring for elves, and winter for goblins. It is rare for your civilization to be on peaceful terms with goblins, however. In the first year, only a dwarven caravan will arrive, although it will only arrive in late autumn, about a month later than in previous versions. Caravans will only show up if that race considers the fortress site accessible (as denoted on the embark screen), with the exception of dwarves, who always arrive unless they are [[extinct]].{{verify}} 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 and z-levels each year. However, they will always arrive at a location with a wagon-navigable path to the Trade Depot when one is available. Caravans may leave without trading if it takes too long to reach the trade depot, or if they become spooked by wildlife or corpses. 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]].

Also worth mention is the pathing behavior of the entire caravan. If one member of the caravan reaches an obstacle in their chosen path (i.e. a raised drawbridge that was lowered when they entered the map) the entire caravan will re-path, instead of encountering the obstacle one by one. This behavior can be useful when attempting to free "stuck" wagons--a trader on foot encountering a locked door will cause the stuck wagons to turn around and path to a different exit, if available.

==== [[Dwarves]] ====
:''"Greetings from the mountainhome. Your efforts are legend there. Let us trade!"''

The dwarven caravan:
* arrives in [[Calendar|autumn]].
* carries metal bars, [[leather]], weapons and armor, food and booze, and more. Dwarves alone may bring [[steel]] and steel goods. They can still bring steel (and steel goods) and [[pig iron]] bars even if they do not have access to [[iron]], but will not bring iron products.
* is heavily guarded.
* sends a liaison who will speak with the [[Expedition leader]], [[Mayor]], [[Baron]], [[Count]], or [[Duke]] to negotiate an import-export agreement (unless the [[Monarch]] is present).
* influences the number of immigrants received (if the caravan leaves intact).
* will not cause sieges when repeatedly destroyed or lost.
* is the only caravan to arrive during a fortress' first year.
* always arrives regardless of embark location unless the dwarven civilization is [[extinct]].
* cannot have its goods seized from the trade menu.
* may not arrive if your civilization lacks any notable figures.

==== [[elf|Elves]] ====
[[Image:Evil_elves.png|thumb|400px|A typical elven caravan.]]
:''"Greetings. We are enchanted by your more ethical works. We've come to trade."''

The elven caravan:
* arrives in the [[Calendar|spring]].
* carries [[cloth]], [[rope]]s, various above-ground seeds, [[plant]]s and their byproducts, [[log]]s, [[wood]]en goods & [[weapon]]s, clothing and [[armor]], and may carry tame exotic [[creature]]s.
* Is unguarded.
* does not accept some items in trade:

Elven traders do not like to be offered any tree byproducts unless they are "grown", which only elves can produce. Forbidden (dwarf-made) items include:

* [[Wood]]en items (including subterranean mushrooms such as [[tower-cap]]s)
* Items derived from wood - [[ash]] and [[charcoal]], as well as [[lye]], [[potash]], and [[pearlash]]
* Items made from clear and crystal [[glass]] (due to the [[pearlash]] used) - green glass appears to be perfectly acceptable
* Items [[decoration|decorated]] with any of the above materials
* [[Obsidian]] shortswords (since they have wooden handles)
* [[Soap]] (made with [[lye]])

Offering or trading forbidden items will cause the mood of the trader to drop rapidly, causing them to refuse to trade any more that season and leave immediately. Additionally you will be called uncouth, crude, and barbaric for not understanding their customs.

However, [[stone]] and [[metal]] items, even when [[charcoal]] is used in production, are acceptable (since the elves are unfamiliar with metalworking, and do not know that charcoal is used to make metal items). Items made from [[silk]] are acceptable, as are all non-wooden plant-derived products such as [[cloth]] and [[thread]]. Items made of bone (totems too), horn, shell or leather are acceptable, so are meat and fish. You can also transport your goods to the [[trade depot]] in a wooden [[bin]], as long as you do not try to sell the bin. Living animals are acceptable, as long as the [[cage]] or [[trap]] is not made of [[wood]].

Be especially careful with reselling decorated items from other caravans, as non-wood/glass items may have decorations of wood or clear/crystal glass. Note that items elven caravans sell ''can'' be resold to them, as the elves know that they were made in an elf-kosher way.

Because they do not utilize wagons, elven caravans have a much smaller weight limit than dwarven and human ones, making trading heavy items like furniture problematic.

:''"Once a beautiful tree, and now? It is a rude bauble, fit only for your kind."''

==== [[Human]]s ====
:''"Greetings. The craftsdwarfship of the dwarves is unparalleled. Let's make a deal!"''

The human caravan:
* arrives in [[Calendar|summer]].
* carries metal bars, sand, [[leather]], cloth, wood, food and booze, ropes, waterskins, quivers, backpacks, metal weapons and clothing and armor, cages and a few domestic animals.
* carries only large-sized clothing and armor, which is unusable by dwarves.
* is moderately guarded.

{{mod}}
==== [[Goblin]]s and [[Kobold]]s ====
A goblin caravan will only arrive if you mod the game, primarily because their entity lacks the [[entity token]]s needed to make use of pack animals and wagons. That, and the token {{token|BABYSNATCHER|e}} makes them hostile to all non-goblin civilizations. These same caveats apply to kobolds (whose {{token|UTTERANCES|c}} and {{token|ITEM_THIEF|e}} tags make them hostile to every civilization).

The goblin caravan:
*will arrive every season, four times per year
*unguarded
*brings mostly food and cloth
*does not send a liaison or a guild representative
*does not make import/export agreements

== Diplomats ==
[[Diplomat]]s may be sent by other civilizations to speak to your [[noble]] dwarves (and they ''will'' speak to those dwarves, even if they have to wait at their bedside in the hospital for months after the caravan has left). Diplomats generally appear on the map edge around the time that civilization's caravan would arrive. Meeting with a diplomat may allow you to request specific items for the next caravan to bring (at a premium price), take requests for production for the next caravan (for which the merchants will pay a premium), or sign a cease-fire to end hostilities.

Current trade agreements can be viewed through the Civilization menu ({{k|c}}). These trade agreements are cleared when a diplomat of the corresponding civilization enters the screen, so they are generally not accessible after the caravan has arrived.

In the event that your leader is replaced, killed, or taken by a [[strange mood]], the diplomat may decide to leave your fortress [[stymied|"unhappy"]].{{bug|576}} Curiously, this will '''not''' occur if your leader is otherwise unable to perform the "conduct meeting" task. You can currently lock a diplomat in a room and he will wait years to attend the meeting your noble is constantly conducting (and all subsequent diplomats appear to wait in line for the first to finish); this behavior is presumably a bug.{{bug|8947}}

An unhappy diplomat will naturally prevent you from creating trade agreements and ending hostilities. However, it is not currently known what other effects this has on relations with that civilization. Whether the diplomat successfully met with your leader or just gave up, a diplomat who has decided to leave but is prevented from reaching the map edge will eventually go [[insane]].

== Destruction ==
If caravans are destroyed (intentionally or unintentionally), the items may remain for use. Traders caught in a [[cave-in]] will flee as if they were attacked, but will leave all the items dropped by the caravan behind. Pack animals carrying items are affected just like a normal tamed [[mule]] and must be killed in the cave-in for them to drop items on the ground. It is however much more likely that the pack animals will only be stunned or rendered unconscious, and flee shortly after recovering from the hit.

While caravans can defend themselves, they don't like being ambushed. If a caravan becomes terrified by wildlife or horrified by corpses it will turn around and flee the map. Any event resulting in the death of any merchant or pack animal will also cause them to retreat and forget about trading with you for the season. Repeated caravan destruction (intentional or unintentional) will strain diplomatic relations and may result in a [[siege]].

Ambushing or seizing a caravan and letting a survivor escape seems to have a more detrimental effect than simply annihilating the whole caravan. (Presumably because you've left a witness to report what happened.)

== Caravan Delay ==
If a caravan has arrived at your trade depot and is unable to leave for about two months after they finished packing up their goods, the merchants and animals will go insane. This can result in a bunch of merchants attacking your dwarves, or just standing around moping until they starve to death. It is not known for certain if this hurts diplomatic relations, but most likely it's the same as any case where the entire caravan fails to return home.

If you have locked the caravan into your fortress to hold out against a siege, it's a good idea to station a squad of soldiers near the trade depot in case the merchants [[Insanity#Types|go berserk]]. You may also want to make the depot a restricted area to encourage civilians to go around it. Alternatively, you can design the trade depot using drawbridges, so that it can be sealed off from the rest of the fortress during a siege.

If you want the merchants to leave safely, you can build four or more tunnels to each corner of the map, connected to your fortress only by drawbridges. As long as there is no other way to enter and exit your fortress, invaders and merchants will both go towards any tunnel that you activate. You can lock the merchants into the trade depot, and then open a tunnel entrance on one side of the map to make the invaders head towards that tunnel. When they get close to it, you can close it, and then open the entrance on the other side of the map, and let the traders out of the depot. If your fortress and depot are in the middle of the map, this will give the traders quite a head-start to get away.

Merchants can leave the map from any map edge-- including underground and aboveground map edges. If an unobstructed path through your fortress reaches a cavern edge, then blocking all overland paths will cause the merchants to depart underground. This can be useful, if you're suffering a prolonged siege; it can also be dangerous, if your underground regions are less secure than your surface. While it requires more preparation, an elevated bridge to a map edge can also allow traders to depart in peace.

Caravan guards cannot be starved, dehydrated, or driven to insanity if prevented from leaving, their employers and animals will however.

If an large amount of items is sold / offered to the caravan, it may take a while to load it all, especially if you chose to keep your precious bins and traded your items individually.

== Bugs ==

*Caravans become terrified/horrified very easily, abandon their wagons, and flee. {{bug|7185}}
*Aggressive, untrainable creatures (captured goblins, for example) cannot be traded; when a dwarf attempts to move the caged animal to the Depot, the creature is set free.
*Wagons can occasionally become "stuck" on other wagons, walls, etc. Stuck wagons eventually deconstruct, leaving their merchandise behind. {{Bug|5687}}
*If a caravan attempts to leave in late Winter/early Spring, they may try to path over any large frozen body of water. If the water thaws while the caravan is on it, the caravan will become magically stuck in mid-air until either the water refreezes or a floor is built underneath it. At this point, if they are still alive, they will leave the map normally.
*When merchants leave with an animal, the merchants seem to be dragging their beast of burden instead of leading it. If the animal is incapacitated but not dead, the merchant will continue to walk at the same speed, dragging the unconscious beast
*If a merchant's chosen map edge exit is guarded by a hostile creature (including those on a [[restraint]]), the merchant will wander back and forth repeatedly and eventually go insane rather than path to an alternate exit.

== Loyalty cascade ==
{{main|Faction#Loyalty cascade|l1=Faction}}
If you order your military to kill merchants from your own civilization, a bizarre result of the way loyalty is handled makes the members of your military who attacked the traders become enemies of your civilization, but members of your fort's government (dwarves of this [[faction]] are referred to as ''separatists''). As enemies, they attack your other dwarves (''citizens''), but as members of the fort, they still follow orders. Allowing citizen militia dwarves to attack the separatists will give them opposite loyalties of the separatists, (i.e. loyal to civ, not to fort), or ''loyalists'', who do '''not''' follow orders. And then, if a separatist or loyalist kill a citizen, they become enemies of the civ '''and''' fort, making them ''Renegades'', who are essentially complete enemies of the citizens.

To prevent the cascade from spreading, order the original separatists away from the fortress and let them fight amongst themselves. If the results are renegades, it is okay to allow other dwarves to kill them (by stationing them nearby). If the results are separatists/loyalists, then you will need to separate them somehow.

== Exploits ==

*Deconstructing the Depot will cause merchants to leave your fortress and abandon any goods in the Depot because items are not available until the building is fully deconstructed. However any animals they had caged will still belong to the merchants and only become friendly, you won't actually own them. According to Toady One, this is actually working as intended, and is not really an exploit or bug: "...the reckoning comes when they return with lesser value, and it has the same negative effect (it'll be listed as a disaster rather than an intentional seizing -- the depot could be destroyed, for instance -- but it counts for the same value if I remember). The overall wording could be changed and the interaction could be deepened to recognize this or that, but it's working as intended."[http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=293#c8393]

*If you wait some time (2-3 months{{verify}}), you can "claim" animals by linking a lever to the cage and opening it, the animals will be released in a tamed state. Check the {{k|u}}nit screen before releasing them; if the creatures still show as Merchant creatures, they will wander off the map when released; if they show as Tame creatures, they will stay once released.

*If you lock them in your fortress for a minute or two (real time), the merchants MAY drop items and leave behind pack animals (Both of which are yours for the taking!) Note: Results are not consistent.

Visitor

2016-01-09T07:30:21Z

Vjmdhzgr: /* Types of visitors */

{{new in v0.42}}

A '''visitor''' or '''guest''' is a person who comes to your fort at random, to stay at a [[location]]. Initially, you will receive only about three visitors for each location, who are all curious about the location they are visiting. When they leave, they may bring back word of what your place is like, attracting more visitors. This may benefit your fort, for example by providing social contacts for your dwarves, or enlisting soldiers. However, if you prefer having a dwarf-only fort (save for the prisoner elves and goblins), you should make sure they do not leave alive.

==Types of visitors==
* [[Guest]]: will come to relax, and only provides social contacts and may perform in your [[inn]]. After they finish their tasks, [[diplomats]] may stay a while as guests.
* [[Scholar]]: will come to study, which includes reading books and discussing scientific topics with other scholars (including other visitors and your own dwarves), and may write books in your [[library]].
* [[Mercenary]]: will come to get enlisted into the military. They will either petition for long-term residency or relax, and when you accept them, they can be added to any squad (note that they cannot be squad leaders) and will follow any order the squad receives. They are attracted by your [[inn]].
* [[Performer]]: as the name suggests, will come to perform in your [[inn]]. They will tell stories, dance, make music, or recite poetry. They do this for fun, and will not ask anything in return. They may petition for long-term residency.
* [[Monster Hunter]]: monster hunters visit [[inns]] to hunt monsters within the caverns. Once they are granted long term residency they will occasionally go down into the caverns on their own to hunt. As of 0.42.4 they might be bugged as nobody other than Toady has reported seeing them, but supposedly their requirements for arrival are having opened the caverns.

Note: This page was written by two people so far, so there may be more types of visitors not listed here.

==Residency petitions==
Sometimes, a visitor may come with the intent to stay in your fort on the long term. All types of visitors can do this. When a visitor petitions for residency, they will meet up with your mayor. You will have the final say about whether the visitor will become a resident.

When you accept them, they will be added to the list of civilians in your fort as if they were a migrant. Their needs, preferences, and thoughts will be visible to them as normal, but they will not be able to have labours or occupations assigned. Aside from the reason why they came to your fort (such as performing in your inn), they may take brief breaks and do stuff in other locations in your fort.
