Trading

It seems that it's very easy to overwhelm the traders capacity with the value your fort can produce... Is there any way to make the traders carry more goods? And has anyone seen wagons in the new version? How much more can wagons carry?

Remember that the more heavy stuff you buy from the traders, the more they can take away.

You have to mess around with the files that come with the game, but you can increase the carrying capacity of animals. The problem then, evidently, is that the traders brings tons more stuff and take forever to unload.

Wagons are currently broken.

The only way I can think of is to modify the various animals they use for trading and increasing how much they can carry.

Change the following line in the RAWS under domestic animals.
[TRADE_CAPACITY:2000]

Change the 2000 to whatever you want.  If you want 4 times the capacity, change it to 8000, etc.
