Like, super slow. One square across after about 5 seconds. The rest of the merchants embarked before this wagon could arrive, meaning I couldn't trade at all because the Merchant kept telling me to 'wait for the wagon to arrive'. And then they upped and left.

Could it be that the driver or any of the draft animals was wounded?

[Jintor]

They had only just entered the map, so I doubt that was it.

On a similar note, about a year later the merchants and all their guards got attacked as they sat in the trade depot. After I routed the goblins, they went back to the trade depot, but it says that "No merchants are here". Damnit. This is the third month I've gone without decent trade.

/EDIT Hmm, I guess they must have gotten scared off by the goblins and packed up and left instead. That would explain why there was no merchants available to trade. Ah well.

[Dorten]

There were reports of buggish super-heavy items. Maybe that wagon had one slowing it down. Just a wild guess here.

[Jintor]

It happened the second the wagon came onto the map (I was watching it inch its way across the map) so I suspect that was probably it.

/EDIT: UPDATE

Two seasons later: A wagon appears and rockets across the map to my trade depot. And I mean rockets. It swiftly outpaced its complement of guards and nearly teleported into my depot, except that I could see it was merely moving something like 5 squares a second. A nice change, but still strange behaviour.

They opted for a wildy-coyote solution.  After their caravan been ambushed and found that their mules are too slow, the decided to strap a rocket to their mule.

Did you check the mule inventory?  Maybe they have something like ACME rocket on them.

Seriously thou, I think it is a valid bug. 

[Yanlin]

Bug? It's not a bug.

A normal wagon takes 10 seconds to go past 1 tile.

The real bug is that they don't do that.

[Toady One]

Do you still have a rocketing or slow wagon around?  If there's an item that has a bugged weight, maybe a negative weight (which should never happen but who knows) can speed up the wagon.
