question about traps/ enemys and trade caravans

[Exbeer]

is there a difference between trade caravans and enemies and the placements of traps/spikes? as in will trade caravans be able to move out of the way and enemies not? if like i set traps so they can walk outside the traps ? and do enemies do the same ? or are they like hidden from them ? if you get what i am after here

Trade caravans will avoid traps in their pathing, and if there isn't a 3 wide non-trapped path to the trade depot then wagons wont come. I believe if a diplomat or caravan sees a trap, then that civilization will also avoid the trap when attacking you.

so it does not matter in terms of sieges /raides etc orcs etc or at war with elves , they will still see traps ? so i kinda need to make its own hallway and close off the other one if sieges? also will they move on a full hallway of traps ? will that block them ? is there a hide spike traps to set off by a leaver ? sorry, alot of questions now hehe

Most people does what you say is to have two diffrent entries, and most of the time they will push on untill to many of them dying but they will try to avoid it as much as possible, and yes there exist pressuer plates you can use for traps
