Summary0013145: Wealth Creation does not update properly
DescriptionI had over 3 million in wealth created in a long term fortress. After I traded with a human caravan (which I had done for many years), my wealth suddenly dropped to 35000/5000. After a couple of years this raised to 56000/8000. I have 80 dwarf soldiers and over thirty artifacts (including many of the Gods), but only get 6 attackers during a siege now. This has happened before but near the beginning of the game so I just let it go, but after loosing 3 million in created wealth with a Legendary Broker, it is a definite bug. This is the Steam Version.
Steps To ReproduceHappens after trading with a caravan. In my case, a human caravan. All my God Artifacts dropped from 40300 to 5000. The broker is Legendary and did not change skill level when this happened.
Additional InformationI have been promoted to Duchy level several times but lost my Baron early in the game, so my wealth is being calculated somewhere but it does not show properly on the screen when I mouse over it. Got a Baron that is not from my fortress, but no trade wagon so I don't think this is an issue.

If memory serves, Created Wealth only counts items which are actually at your fortress, so if you trade a bunch of valuable goods to a caravan then they will no longer count. Does this explain what you're seeing?

I went from over 3,000,000 in created wealth instantly down to 35000. Since I don't have a Baron or Noble of my own, the only traders that I get have pack animals, no wagons. Thus my total trade with any caravan is 10-20K. It also doesn't account for the drop in value of many of my artifacts (which I would never trade) from 40300 each to 5000 each. My concern is that I think many things in the game are determined by fortress wealth, such as noble acquisition and promotion, siege strength, and immigrants. Therefore I feel that this bug is seriously affecting my game.
