I reckon he meant either puny or pitiful.

As soon as the military system will be ready [+ perhaps the diplomacy system], I am pretty sure that the humans will send an army to siege goblin cities if something like this will happen in the game. Civs will like / dislike eachother, and probably actions like these [goblins killing the human caravan] will piss off the humans.   :D

I would find it kind of entertaining if, supposing you already have poor (though nonviolent) relations with the humans, and a goblin siege killed the caravan, the humans assumed it was you and sent an army after your dwarves instead of after the goblins.  This could also be rather entertaining if it could happen in reverse (blame the goblins when you were the ones to really slaughter the recent caravan).

Or maybe they get mad at you for not protecting the caravan as it passed through your land  ;)

I was sieged right after the human merchants had packed up their goods and started to leave. They walked right into the middle of the goblin army and got beaten into a bloody pulp. The whole place was a mess of human chunks. One of the swordsmen got thrown 10-15 squares from his initial position...

Then came the damn apes. A pack of rhesus macaques bent on earning some easy money stormed the wagons (or what was left of them) and stole some of the goods I had just sold to the humans.

Meanwhile, the human Outpost Liaison quietly concluded his negotiations and left peacefully, not even realizing what had just happened.
