Do the wagon-people scuttle due to not having any beasts to pull them?

Possibly, but I was unable to figure out how to get beasts to pull them. Making wagons also wagon pullers does not work, nor does (seemingly) just piling up a bunch of horses and wagons.

I am also not sure how playable any mode would be as a wagon if you must be pulled around by pack animals without moving the whole time.

Could you get wagons to pull wagons, creating wagon trains?

Speaking about the English language, and flaming wagon entities ...

Has anyone played Oregon Trail 2? Now that was a good game right there.
Good for powergamers. You think World Of Warcraft has options? Oregon Trail 2 had way more!

I still got the game CD for ... goes and finds the cd ... Windows and Macintosh.
Man, I wish I had a Windows or Macintosh machine right now.

And I searched Youtube for a good OE2 video, but there is nothing that does it justice

Now this has me intrigued.
Steps to take:
1. Remove WAGON_PULLER from other creatures
2. Make wagons the only WAGON_PULLERs
3. Wait for caravan
Maybe you'll get a fractal tree?

Perhaps sentient wagons could exist as loops of wagons all pulling each other so that none of them are scuttled.

Oh god... would it simply crash the game on the arrival of the first caravan or would it create an endless wagon loop? If you destroy one wagon would that then cause all of the wagons behind it to instantly scuttle? The possibilities are endless.

[Halfling]

Yes, and think of the trade goods. If it were to work like that, you could also create more limited wagon herds by leaving in two other types of wagon pulling creature (making it approximately 56% chance of any given wagon being connected to another wagon).

I can try it out myself later when I have the chance to play DF, but anyone with a mature fort about to receive a caravan can try it right away.

This is going to end up with wild wagons and someone modding them in as tamable creatures isn't it. At which point we will have swarms of wagons instead of bears or badgers.

....I'm just imagining this giant anaconda made of wooden death massacring everything on the map then stealing my crap now.

And since wagons can carry so much, they steal A LOT!

Funfact:  if you don't mind pirating a quadra rom, you can use Basilisk II and the completely free MacOS7.5 discs from apple's FTP to emulate an old classic mac on just about any platform.

You are on your own for the mac quadra ROM though. I won't put piratical links on here.

This is the mac equivalent of DosBox in terms of retro gaming. It even supports network function.

If its length is great enough, then it could actually move in a net direction.

Really? I thought DosBox was the mac equivalent of DosBox. Or better yet, just use Boxer.

Sir, you have de-railed a thread about WAGONS?!

Sir, I STARTED the thread about wagons! Bow to me!
