This is very amusing guys. Do you think we'll end up with living wagons made from ghost wagon wood? Or will ghost wagon wood not block anything, leading to beds that dwarves fall through?

The concept of a wagon being made from ghost wagon wood is an interesting one, if not a bit morbid. An incorporeal Frankenstein's monster-wagon?

I really hope to see all of the wagon's trade goods and the merchants fall off the wagon one day.

I want to see a dramatic story of a group of seven dwarves sent to reclaim a fort only to find a desolate waste haunted by the ghosts of long-passed wagons.
I think that a mod would be required for the wagon to come back as a ghost.  I've killed a couple without making a slab and never got ghost-wagons.
Getting ghost wagon wood sounds cool, just like that ghost spider silk I was reading about...

Could you link to that thread? I'm interested in finding out more about these ghost spiders.

Just found out how much fun one can have with violent ghosts when reclaiming a fort. Am now imagining how much worse it would be to have ghostly wagons trundling around running dwarves over.
I believe I have found myself another sig. Do you mind?

Of course not, thanks  ;)

It's all very epic. Jump off a tower towards a spike pit, and at the last moment attempt to parry the planet.

If a wagon civilization one day becomes reality, they should obviously be called Volkswagen.

Hm, it's occurred to me that wagonizing a creature is essentially a guaranteed one-frame instant death spell. Considering that even the worst syndromes usually take a few frames to kill, this could be useful in the future.

Did you read the bit about the Wagonmancers/urgies/whatever you want to call them, as long as we avoid having another etymology debate? We've already weaponized it.

Hm. We seem to have done nearly everything to poor old wagon. Perhaps we can make it fly? Is that possible to mod in? Perhaps make the pulling animals Giant Sparrows or something? Or mod in pegasus?

I think that all we need to do is add [FLIER] and laugh as it scuttles in mid-air after losing the creatures pulling it, or, alternatively, drags the animals along with it.

So the animals fall and break their knees, with nothing stopping their heads being caved in by a (wagon wood)? Brilliant.

Funnily enough, the thread about a dead wagon just can't rest in peace  :P

What do you expect? We're all vampire necromancers wagonurgimancers.

Saying Bay12ers is so much shorter than going into specifics like that.
