Does anyone know if it is possible to specify what good a caravan carries when one is made with the events file? As far as I can tell, whether you create one with the cheat menu or with an event, you can only make a hides caravan.
I've never been able to make anything other than a hides caravan through events or by creating them at the start. I think you would have to hex-edit a file to change it. So I just rename "hides" to "silk" and pretend.
