Since im not familiar with brytenwalda, im not quite sure how this one works.
I built myself one and sent it to a town to trade, how long does it stay in town to trade?
Do i get a message if it has been ambushed en route?
Its been a long time since i used this feature, so hopefully someone else can answer.
I think i fixed a bug with it a while ago.. but other than that i havn't touched the code. I may remove it though as im aware of certain exploits with this.
Allright, well its kind of a cool feature in my opinion(if it works properly). Dont know what these exploits are, but im not one to question it since i really dont know how to use it anyways. ::)
Basically you can load it up with trade goods. Otherwise it will collect things from battlefields you don't take. Once sent it will sell it's inventory and return to you. Time depends on distance and if it runs into bandits or something.
