Summary0007133: Caravan disappeared
DescriptionI am playing in a fun apocalyptic world. Dwarves were virtually extinct, their last Queen being killed by a night creature,and most of them were part of the gargantuan goblin Civilization. Humans were making a last stand.
I decided to create a dwarf fortress to stir up things a bit, knowing that most of the dwarves would be generated at the spot and none of the official positions would be taken.
The game began weell enough, the king/queen wasn't choosen immediately, and at autumn the caravan arrived, with the messages:

No outpost liaison? How curious...
A caravan from Lorbam Eges has arrived.

I hadn't built a Trade Depot yet, and rushed to complete it, but as soon as it was ready, I went to the spot where the caravan were...and nothing. It disappeared. There was no message, nothing.
 The only hint I found was the listing of a wagon at the units screen as missing.

Another weird situation was that every historical dwarf arriving with the migrants was arriving hostile. I think that they must have allegiances to the goblin civilization.

Steps To ReproduceExpect another caravan? I will play some more and will save just before the next caravan arrive. In case of the save being useful.

The second caravan arrived without any problem.

In the next caravan the game crashed, I think when the new appointed liaison, one of the generated merchants, tried to talk with the broker. I reloaded the game but as I had lost too much time I retired the fortress ad tried to start an adventurer...and the game now always crash before entering the screen to choose the race. I uploaded the new save at https://www.dropbox.com/s/xxtsri94x9p6co1/region1_2.rar [^]

Maybe is one of the crashes already fixed, but didn't look like it.

It was for a previous version, no way to know if it was one of the fixed.

All right, resolving this as "unable to reproduce". If you are able to reproduce this in the current version (or a version compatible with it), please reopen this and provide a save. (We recommend http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^] as a centralized, reliable location for hosting saves.)
