Sure I can slaughter them by the score with a few champions, but my buddies from the human Empire of Mops are too cowardly to bring a caravan when the gobbies siege during the summer 

I'd rather have their trade stuff than the delivery of 30 goblins worth of bones and narrow equipment.

They can be sneaky buggers. My last fort was interdicted for two whole years by constant sieging, apart from a single elf caravan that got through, and a human caravan they tore apart.

My current fort almost died to a traditional human siege. If I hadn't struck magma and a few veins of copper to make barrels and equip the freshly-trained military, a tantrum spiral would have occurred.

Yeah, what sucks is even if the human caravan showed up, I could have easily cut a path to them.  Instead they didn't even try.

I always build walls right up to the entrance of the map. Caravans always come to my location if no other route is possible (I ensure this is the case) and are protected from arrival to departure. I think they might still refuse to come if goblins ambushes are around the outside... stupid humans. can you turn off self preservation in the raws/init/etcetc
