Settlements that can be affected
These settlements have paths to the relevant dungeon contracts. They can be affected only when the contract and situation conditions are met. The actual target is the contract’s origin in that save; events are not guaranteed to occur in every settlement at once.
Stages and entry conditions
1 A negative main situation persists
Delayed Deliveries is not a regular random candidate. The settlement first needs an active main situation with economic progression: Dangerous Roads, Pestilence, Nightmares. A negative event still in the queue does not advance economic stages through this path.
↑ Zurück zum Ablauf2 A daily check advances to Delayed Deliveries
At 06:00 each day, the economic check rolls the parent situation’s configured chance. With no economic stage selected, success selects Delayed Deliveries. A subsequent validation activates it. There is no guaranteed number of days until it appears and no independent fixed duration.
↑ Zurück zum Ablauf3 Inspect trading changes
Delayed Deliveries changes trade favorability, merchant gold generation and the commodity buying-price term. Matching modifiers from the main and economic situations add together; reputation, supply and merchant conditions also affect quotes. Stage changes schedule restocking rather than immediately deducting the stated amount from current funds.
↑ Zurück zum Ablauf4 Worsen, or end with the cause
While the parent persists, later daily rolls can advance Delayed Deliveries to Disrupted Logistics and then Supplies Shortage. Resolving the parent’s linked dungeon problem lets validation clear an economic stage that no longer has its parent. Waiting alone does not guarantee recovery; selling goods to merchants is not a direct ending condition in this state machine.

| Effect | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Trade favorability | -0.05 | Merchant selling uses “1 − favorability”; buying uses “1 + favorability”. A negative contribution is worse for the player. |
| Merchant gold generation | -10 | The random base gold amount is multiplied by “1 + this modifier / 100”; it does not directly deduct existing gold. |
| Commodities: merchant buying-price term | +10 percentage points | Affects the price term when selling commodities to a merchant, alongside other conditions. |
Repairs and restocking
This release also declares repair and restock-interval adjustments, but their connection to the service calculations has not been established. They are therefore not presented as guaranteed price increases or delays. Situation starts, changes and endings do demonstrably schedule restocking.
Causes and later stages
The economic stage occurs in its parent’s settlement; stages replace one another rather than stacking.
