(0033754) King Mir (reporter) 2015-12-10 23:41	I have seen the same behaviour, except I did not initially have a temple, so the liaison hangs out at meeting areas.

(0033756) Detros (manager) 2015-12-11 01:45	Have you also been part of civilization with very limited amount of other sites?

(0034036) Detros (manager) 2015-12-18 17:32	After like two years in fort she left, not sure when exactly. I assigned one dining room to tavern and opened it for visitors, few bards and hammerman came. After several months, some of them are gone. I noticed that hammerman in "This visitor is ready to leave" state so they are in fact leaving after a while, it seems.

He's even participated in songs and dances, and watched poetry recitals during his stay. When viewed, it says he came for discussion and to relax, or something like that. The stay is definitely not for lack of sites. I'm playing on a large world, and there are approximately 100 other baronies in my civ, as well as two counties. It was frustrating, because I was waiting for him to leave for my baron to be official and so I could appoint a champion.

(0034403) Detros (manager) 2016-01-11 11:20	Exported goods seems to be working properly, our liaison just doesn't have many sites to check so he just seems to like to relax in our great tavern. He came in fortyear 1, stayed for 2 years, then we got sieged and now after meeting in fortyear 5 he is in "This visitor has come for diplomacy and relax." state again. I wonder how long will he stay this time.

(0034506) SteveTheRed (reporter) 2016-01-21 21:14	I don't have a temple or a tavern yet, just a generic meeting area, and the Outpost Liaison is hanging round even though he completed his meeting before the merchants had unpacked, and they're long gone.

(0034511) Detros (manager) 2016-01-22 09:10	Steve, and does s/he "came for diplomacy and _relax_" too?

(0035055) pognivet (reporter) 2016-04-28 12:29 edited on: 2016-04-28 12:30	I'm having the same exact problem. My civilization only has one other site and had like less than 40 people when I embarked. The caravan came once or twice or maybe even three times and we traded and talked and it was all normal. Now all of a sudden the Outpost Liaison refuses to leave. I remember getting a similar problem a while back with a tavern causing it. I had built a tavern close to the entrance/trade depot so whenever the liaison or traders or whatever came they'd get too obsessed with the tavern entertainment and never leave. I fixed that by undesignating/retiring the tavern and then redesignating it when they all leave. This time I didn't even have a tavern, only a temple and a meeting hall/dining room area. I tried deleting/undesignating both but to no avail. The guy just refuses to leave. Part of me wonders if that only other site was wiped out or something. One weird thing is that even after I undesignate the temple so that the room is just a normal room, not even a meeting area, he still hangs around there.

(0035058) zahlman (reporter) 2016-04-28 17:40	I am consistently seeing this in 42.06. Liaisons never leave with the first caravan, regardless of trading, across multiple years in each of multiple forts.

(0035084) Veroule (reporter) 2016-05-06 00:18	I still have my initial wagon and no meeting area or special zones setup. The liaison tends to stick around until the elven caravan shows up in spring. When they arrive he goes on with getting off site.
