Caravans

A caravan that reaches Thais lowers prices. One that is lost raises them.

Every so often a caravan sets out. It travels alone, but the worse the region's stage, the smaller its chance to arrive without an escort: 92% in Calm, only 35% in a Siege.

• Arrived: prices in Thais drop by 8% for 2 h and the expedition gets 30 sand.
• Lost: prices rise by 10% for 1.5 h.
• The escort gets 600 gold and 500 for every ambush beaten off, if it walked at least 40% of the way with the caravan.
• After 5 caravans brought home you earn a title.
