The wiki lists separate room requirements for some nobles and their spouses (baron/baroness, count/countess, duke/duchess and king/queen).

Does this mean that unlike other married couples, they don't share a bedroom and a dining room, and the couple requires a total of 7 rooms (noble's bedroom, noble's dining room, noble's office, noble's tomb, spouse's bedroom, spouse's dining room, and spouses tomb)?

Or does it mean that like other married couples, they do share a bedroom and a dining room, but unlike other married couples, the spouse can also get unhappy thoughts from a low value room, and the couple requires a total of 5 rooms (noble's & spouse's bedroom, noble's & spouse's dining room, noble's office, noble's tomb, and spouse's tomb)?

There is a valid path between the lever and the bridge. I've just seen a dwarf in the vicinity of the lever who only moments ago ran across the bridge to collect a rhesus macaque corpse that had been thrown to the other side of the moat.

I've just loaded the save into 40d16, and the task of linking the lever to the bridge was successfully added to the queue.

... because it looks like this is the cause of the long standing rocket wagon/slowboat wagon bug: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=49170.0. Even if you want their [SPEED] to be the default of 900, trading races need the [SPEED] tag.

OK, I appear to have found a very strange workaround for this. Adjust the [SPEED] of dwarves to 0, and both wagons move at normal speed.

Just tried it and it didn't work. So it looks like the [SPEED] tag has no effect on wagons  . But your superdwarves comment gives me another idea for a workaround. I could try speeding up the dwarves, deconstructing my original trade depot, and building a new one near the edge of the map, and savescumming until the caravan spawns close enough to the new depot (spawn location for the caravan is something that does change with savescumming).

In the first autumn of my first 40d17 fort, the dwarven caravan arrives and one wagon reaches the depot in less than a second; the distance from the edge to my depot is half the width of a 16x16 site. The other wagon never reaches the depot, so trading is impossible.

Reproducible with this save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1841

EDIT:

Experimentation with the [SPEED] tags of both wagons and dwarves suggest that the cause of this bug is the omission of [SPEED] tags from the definitions of [CREATURE]s referred to by trading [ENTITY]s. Adding a [SPEED] tag to such a [CREATURE] causes the referring [ENTITY]'s wagons to move at normal speed, regardless of the value of the [SPEED] tag, so the default value of 900 can be entered for [CREATURE]s affected by this bug.
