40d Talk:Liaison

Any idea how to keep them from staying till they go insane. Every winter my dwarves live in fear of the bruce lee of liaisons going into a martial trance.

At first I thought they'd stay if they didn't get to talk with my broker but having a meeting doesn't help get them out. --Lucid 17:44, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Make sure you have your broker free long enough to make your demands and to views theirs, it take about 4 meetings between your broker and the liaison. At least that is how I get him to leave --Shades 18:08, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

so THAT'S how you do it, good thing I turned off my expo leader from hunting, the damned liason kept on scaring off the deer [the leader, and broker] was chasing :\

Broker, not Leader?

So it's the broker, not the mayor, that meets with these guys? That changes some things. (I'm trying to keep the Liasons outside of my fortess so they don't know where the traps are, if they ever siege.)

No, its the leader/mayor. --Koltom 11:33, 20 February 2008 (EST)

i have my leader and broker separate(not by choice) in my current fort, and noticed that while the dwarf liaison meets with the leader, the human rep most definately meets with the broker, not the leader. --Chariot 06:57, 9 March 2008 (EDT)

really set off traps?

I have both liaisons walk through a maze of traps every time they visit, never got hurt. Maybe a 38a/b/c bug? What kind of traps were they triggering?--Koltom 23:56, 27 February 2008 (EST)

I'm running DF 38a and every year when the caravans arrive I get a new human corpse to loot. My liasons never make it past my traps (weapon[disc] and stonefall). I wish they would, I'd like to adjust what they bring. Ripheus 21:00, 3 March 2008 (EST)

well known bug for 38a, it was fixed in 38b -Chariot 21:54, 3 March 2008 (EST)

Can't assign new leader; wiki article is incorrect

Leaders are elected and can't be manually chosen. --GreyMario 23:34, 8 March 2008 (EST)

I may be remembering wrong, but I recall my liasons wanting to meet my Broker, who is manually chosen. Ripheus 01:52, 9 March 2008 (EST)

Diplomat

I have an elven diplomat telling my duchess not to cut down more than 55 trees (and calling her short.. a member of Elves for the Ethical Treatment of Trees?). Is this kind of diplomat separate from the trade liaison? The page Diplomat redirects here.. Anydwarf 13:18, 28 March 2008 (EDT)
