0001508: Traders go crazy if no Depot is available
So in order to avoid the elf's invasion of huge crap to kill my fps, I simply deconstructed my depot.

They came the next season, hung out on the edge of the map for awhile, then it announced they were ready to leave. Then it announced they left.

But they didn't. They sat at the edge of the map. Then they all went insane. The warthog went berserk and tried to kill my dwarves, the rest just got all upset and crazy.
Start a map. Don't built a depot. Insanity ensues.

I had this happen with the elves once myself, never been able to cause it with the humans or dwarves though.

And than I had to put up with a year of dwarves running halfway across the map to loot the caravan's remains.
