Limiting Merchants to 1 Per Building

[Live2sculpt]

Whops. I thought agent_limit merchant 1 would restrain merchant recruitment to just 1 agent for each building the line was designated for.
But though it does restrict the availability to 1 at a time there is always 1 more available the following turn.
Silly me. I forgot to put some part back in; What have I missed?

I do wish someone could give me this small tip soon. I can't continue playing my campaign this weekend if it spams merchants.

IIRC setting all of them to 1 would allow you to only build one merchant each time the building is upgraded...this is the way my market tree is set up and i get one each time this building is upgraded...

Hmmm.. Well maybe it is a glitch due to my jamming the alteration in the middle of a campaign.

I could start a new campaign and see if it's functioning normally in that one to confirm such.

Meanwhile, it's my party, so I'll just swap the merchant to only be recruitable from merchant guild halls, double the resource values, and that could help to keep any merchant spam in my campaign to a minimum, while keeping them fun to play.

Cheers!
