If 2 or more thieves are ambushing the same route and a player travels it, does it trigger caravans for all the waiting thieves?
P.s. The thieves and the traveler are all of such levels that would normally trigger a caravan. |
Yes it will trigger caravans . :)

| sometimes caravans dont trigger at all, like my friend uses his multi (which is a level lower than him) to trigger his caravans, and often the multi walks the whole way without triggering anything |
| Don't forget that if a character had been ambushed before, he cannot be ambushed again for the next 3 hours, and thus cannot trigger during those 3 hours. |
How are you able to be so sure? Or am I misinterpreting Flour's question? To my understanding answering yes produces the following statement:
If there are 100 thieves of the same level ambushing a certain route, and a player who has not been a defeated victim of ambush less than 3 hours ago and would in normal circumstances been able to trigger a caravan, travels along that route, then it would be theoretically possible that all those 100 thieves fight a caravan which would have otherwise not have happened. |

You are wrong; if that were true, then I wouldn't need to wait up 2 hrs for a caravan.
Even with travelers purposely trying to a trigger for someone, it could take several back and forth journeys to trigger the caravan. There is an x% chance to trigger caravans or get ambushed by the thief. |
| It is commonly assumed that traveling lords may trigger an ambush. But is that the only way to trigger an ambush? If everyone always stays in one place, does that mean that no ambush will ever occur? |
for Geryon:
From what we all understand, yes. |
| Then it's pretty amazing that the top players manage to do so much thieving. Some can get in almost 20 ambushes in one day. I can't imagine that there are that many level-14/15 players moving around the map that much. |
@5 that's correct. essentially that is my question.
if 100 thieves of the same level wait and a traveler eligible to cause an ambush travels, will it trigger all 100 ambushes or just 1 or some portion? |
