Ok, I had an elven caravan slaughtered by goblins and since then no civilization have sent a trade caravan, though there have been goblin sieges every season just about. The Elves and Humans still send diplomats however, they are still there and in the case of the humans, very powerful. Neither the Dwarves nor elves have been destroyed.

If a siege arrives before the caravan would normally show up, it will not show up during that season. By any chance is your civilization at War with the goblins?

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Right, that may explain it, and no. As far as I know, my civ is not at war with the goblins. At least, they have a (P) besides their name in the civilization ledger. Thank you for clearing this up. I should probably have posted in the gameplay questions forum first.

Does it still show a "P" when you've got your own civilization selected? From what I've observed, the war/peace indicators on the (c)iv screen are relative to the selected civ, not your own - in my current fort, when I select the Human civ, the Elf civ changes to "W" (and vice-versa).
