I'm a newbie...but this, my fifth, fortress seems to have some luck

Don't know if this is common or not but quite funny in my opinion. Ok...

Some friendly caravans and thier liason came to visit me (same as they did last year). But what then happend must be God's way to show me He still have faith in me 
The liasion went to talk with my expedition leader while I waited for the caravans to arrive at my trade depot. After a long wait I looked around the map and noticed while looking at the dead/missing-screen it said "Wagon"....
Strange... I looked around the map and found two dead "Barn Owl Men" and a huge pile of items. Seems like the caravan was attacked by the "Barn Owl Men" and got killed.
The result... I took everything from the pile (quite much good stuff for my newbie-fortress) and the liason left my fort happy.

 

Has this happend to you guys? Funny as hell in my opinion.

There are cars in dwarf fortress now?

Don't be a douche, you knew he meant Caravan. Its somewhat common, I think, it happened to me too. It's a bug(I think) with wagons being entities.

Thanks you!
Nice to know

No need to be sour, we're all rather civil. Just poking fun, in any case it does highlight the importance of grammar: It stops people clawing out their eyeballs when trying to communicate.
[Replace those (...) with (.)!]

While looking at the dead/missing-screen it said "Wagon."

Wagons are treated currently as some sort of equipment creature. Quite peculiar, but it's only a cosmetic bug really.

Meh. He insulted the fact a and s are right next to each other and that its quite possible he made a mistake, and its always possible Mr Jocke doesn't know how to change topic name, plus he didn't offer anything other than a snideful remark.

Many, many times. I've had caravans come right before a siege or an ambush and they get killed, I killed the remainders, collect 3x the loot. Animals have attacked caravans as well.

tehe wagon are animals, it's cause tarn din't have time to add some other sort of entity to them, he make this workaround. Sometimes you can find dwarves that have the preference for "wagon wood", like the normal "cat meat"(delicious) preference.
