| Summary | 0008443: Abandoned fortress, visited as adventurer after a few years, is full of filled wagons | ||||
| Description | An abandoned fortress, explored as an adventurer, is full of merchants, both human and dwarven. The dwarf general is hanging out there as well. Wagons are everywhere, randomly placed in walls and in places they'd never be able to reach. Hauling animals I never owned, carrying merchant goods, wander the area. The wagons are full of stuff, some of it obviously human, other wagons full of obviously dwarven stuff, and at least one wagon full of elven goods, although they are warring with the handwoven civ. Additionally, many of the items strewn about seem to be merchant goods, mixed with the fortress goods. It it unknown what the behavior is if the fortress is reclaimed. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Unknown, have not tried. Presumably, start a moderately-successful fortress, get it wiped out, start another fortress, play for a few years, retire it, become an adventurer and go to the old fortress. | ||||

I have seen this also with reclaims before. |

Still with us in DF 0.40.24 http://imagr.eu/up/54afa63358b8a_wagons.png [EDIT] Oh, yes. I should have said this was a retired fortress not an abandoned fortress. |

Still present in v53.08. Wagon armies surround retired forts on the adv mode map. Apparently they're intended to return to their home site, but that isn't happening. |

Indeed, back in the oldest versions of Dwarf Fortress, departing merchants were added to Armies which traveled across the world map to a site belonging to their civilization, and if you visited that site in Adventurer mode you would encounter all of the merchants there (and the Wagons would all be immediately scuttled). Presumably, the bug is that they chose your retired fortress as their destination. |
