That's really weird. Wagons worshiping gods means that Toady must have purposefully given them the necessary code for that :o, which seems strange even for DF.

Ah, DF. The only place where Dwarves can go to places of worship, hand in....wheel with wagons in blessed harmony, neither exploiting the other for un-mutual gain in an expression of love and togetherness. Ah, wondrous DF!

We need Wagon megabeasts. Were-wagons too.

I want to have a wagon that vomits paralyzing syndrome at all who attempt to enter my fortress uninvited.

Yep, I also find this thread acceptable to necro as I just had this bug when a goblin decided to attack a wagon. Now I can engrave the wagon a memorial slab.

I think that any creature, if made a civilization creature, can have gods.  Come to think of it, various castes have gods.

LONG LIVE KING WAGON!  ALL HAIL HIS AXLENESS!  LONG LIVE QUEEN WAGON!  ALL HAIL HER SQUARE WHEELS!

If a wagon survives an epic fight, perhaps it would be possible for it to become the monarch... If this ever happens for anyone I WANT THAT SAVE.

I think everyone wants the save for that. If only to see the message "King Wagon has scuttled.".

I skipped to the end when I hit the -mancy vs. -urgy smouldering, so forgive me if someone has had this idea already.  Could you arm a wagon with crossbows, put the ammo storage adjacent to the wagon and have it shoot without scuttling?  Assign the wagon location as the only fighting position, perhaps?

Could you surround the wagon with siege engines and ammo stocks?

Snatcher! Protect the ... ah, never mind, snatcher just eviscerated by ballista bolt, children can keep playing in the outside.

I'd imagine that you'd have to add several tags to the wagon, but I'm pretty sure a wagon can't have a weapon tag, so you'd have to add a separate attack which wouldn't use up ammo.

I think for you to have a play-able wagon one must first make a wagon animal then we could try to make it into a civilization. I think if this is accomplished then anything could be made into a living thing.

You can, but it always ends in scuttling:
Creature_equipment: wagon: add [INTELLIGENT][EQUIPS]
body_default: wagon: right front wheel, left front wheel: replace [STANCE] with [GRASP]
entity_default: mountain: CREATURE:EQUIPMENT_WAGON


Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Can't really avoid that and still be a 'wagon'.

"Your settlement has crumbled to its end"

OR

"Your settlement has scuttled to its end"

I know which I'd prefer  :P

If I remember correctly, that message can be modified quite easily; it's either under data or under a separate folder in the objects folder. I believe it's the former.
