So there is no way to produce an adventure mode wagon, able to be pushed or whatever in adventure mode?  (Am I reading this correctly?)  I've been trying to find info on self-moving wagons (or comparible hacks) to be turned into Discworld's "Luggage".  Also, an adventure mode wagon sounds pretty much like a mount except for the cosmetics.

I'd appreciate any help, if I'm reading this wrong.

Just reading through, and found this awesome post.
I recently started reading Discworld, as a series, and The Luggage in game would be fun....
May as well make randomly appearing and disappearing shops like the one Two Flower got The Luggage from!

Ehm... yeah, I gave wagons interactions to shoot at nearby enemies.. I called them battle-wagons. That was just a test. You could theoretically give different civs access to different versions, for example all elves arrive with wagons that shoot arrows using interactions, while gnomes ride a steampunk-flamethrower wagon (which would kill itself and everyone on the surface, hurrah)

Better yet, give dwarves wagons that produce endless amounts of lava, like a mobile aquifer.

Better yet, give dwarves wagons that produce endless amounts of lava, like an aquifer, but for extreme !!pain!!.

A Mobile... Magma... Aquiffer.

Maguiffer?

"Onol, are ye sure this is a good idea?"
"Of course, Urist! I'd like to see some pesky kobold try to take anything from our new wagon!"
"But how do we get things out of it?"
"Don't you worry about that, there's not much chance of us making it to our destination."

oh, thats simple. "slayrace wagon magma" is the command for that. should work with dfhack r3 or r4, in vanilla and any modded game.

There is one problem that would have to be addressed: is it possible to replace normal wagon-pulling creatures, with, say, dragons or fire imps?

Cos Fun is significantly less likely to happen if it scuttles on the side of the map because the oxen have been killed by lava.

I guess we should post some eulogy music.

Has anyone noticed that Toady rides in on a wagon in the intro video? Its almost like a creation-myth;

In the beginning was a bay;
and Toady the wagon rider rode in and BWAM: DF

I believe it has been done.
Unless you edit the raws of other wagon-pulling creatures, you have a low probability of getting a dragon/fire imp

The wagon pullers can be anything. My drow usually have giant spiders, and the kobolds arrive with wagons pulled by giant jack rats.

Best thread ever.

Pretty damn sure I engraved a slab to a wagon in my fort. Or was it a yak ? I don't remember.

*goes to check*

Nah, it was a yak. Too bad.

Yes. Yes you did. I thank you, good sir, as do all in said thread.

Goblins recently killed three wagons, so I engraved memorial slabs to all three!

Oh hey, this thread got necro'd again.

The part that confuses me about wagons and their memorials isn't that they somehow have (unknown) parents, or that there is the possibility of them having names. Not even the fact that a single wagon could see service for hundreds of years bothers me.

No, what really gets me is that, somehow, these unthinking, lifeless wooden planks on wheels can worship gods.

I once had a wagon that was apparently extremely devout to a god of fire. Ironically, it was one of the wagons that spontaneously combusted while crossing my volcano bridge.

E: I found an old screenshot of a wagon memorial. From a different fortress, though.
