It would be cool if each caravan group had their own logo or symbol, so you could attack one of their members, steal something with their logo on it, wear that piece of clothing and attack somebody else, to keep the heat off you and to frame them.

I already get attacked by goblins that wear stuff with the logo of a forgotten beast on it. so that seems possible.

If you closely examine the decorated armor or helmets human soldiers in fortresses spawn with, you'll notice that the decoration is almost invariably a rendition of their civilization's symbol in a random material.  Admittedly, it's often something random like a barrel or a plump helmet or whatever, but it's still kind of neat.

So it seems like the next thing to do would be to make caravans a governmental organization and make AI associate the symbol of an organization with the organization. That second one is most definitely the most difficult, I'd think.
