ok i really hate this, i got a 3Xinfinity bridge leading to my trade depot but it's been like 3 years and not a single human caravan has come.  i even have the plus signs leading off the edge of the map and i really need a broker and this stupid thing is not helping...is this just a bug or am i stupid?

btw i just started

do you even have humans to trade with at that location?

Not every fort location can trade with every race - it lists when you are picking one which races can trade with you there. It's quite possible you picked one with no trade routes to the humans.

crap i think you're right, i checked under civilizations and there's only dwarves and kobolds so nobody else can trade with me at all?

The civilizations screen shows only the civilizations you have discovered.  To figure out what civs are available you must go to the select location screen via reclaim fortress.

The preferred method to do this is to back up your save and then abandon and reclaim your fortress.  Then after you are done looking at the available civs, restore your backed up save.

Just a note, though you may have already noticed on a different game.

You WILL get humans with *mules*, if you can trade with them, even if you have no road.  The road only affects wagons.  No humans with mules within a year means no trade with humans at all, regardless of road.

No, it doesn't. ive had fortresses that dont get humans at all for a few years, and then begin getting them later.  I think it MAY have been that I wouldnt build a trade depot, but I'm not sure what I did to cause it.
