Summary0007082: Traders being suicidical
DescriptionI have my fort on top of a hill/mountain and theres a 3 way junction of rivers, but one river is 11 Z levels up compared to the other. This creates a waterfall and a strong current in the river feeding the waterfall.
My trade depot is situated on top of the hill and you have to cross the river to get to it if you come from south (like my dwarven traders seem to do)
I made nice bridges to help them cross the river but the traders want to ford the river and not use the bridge, and subsquently being swept away to their deaths by the current. theres a pile of bodies and loot now at the bottom of my waterfall...
