| Question Title: | More on remote vendors... |
| Category: | Economy |
| Question: | In a previous question you said vendors on a random spawn couldn't have a tent and such, but why can monster spawns change to have lugian pots, fires, and piles of bones... Couldn't you make some sort of item to spawn with the vendors kind of like the pots, fires, and bones? I'd love to see 3 or 4 vendors spawn in the wilderness standing around say... a merchant's cart! |

| Answer: | A few items could be added, sure, but I'll emphasize that they would be placed *randomly.* If you set the generator to create a cart and a fire, for example, the cart could end up placed in the middle of the fire. A cart, BTW, would be new art. That classifies it as less likely, but I'll suggest the idea in the spec. |
