0006086: Last trader wagon is much slower than others, cannot trade
With my latest dwarven caravan, one of the wagons was remarkably slow (about 3 to 5 times slower then the others in the same caravan) and arrived weeks later than the others despite using the same route. In the end the other merchants were leaving before the last wagon was even fully inside my depot and I missed the trade.

The route to my depot is pretty direct with some constructed roads and wagon-passable tunnels. Earlier caravans have arrived in neat lines with no slow members.
No tags attached.

Also, the merchants camped in my depot for weeks after "embarking on their journey". In the end they fired up their yaks in Opal (Mid-Winter).

Merchants apparently are FILO and, as the result, the Slow Wagon Merchant (Sarvesh Puzzlecopper) is now being run over by her faster buddies...

So it seems to be overall inconsistency in wagon speed, not just slowing down. Sure hope if something "has" to go wrong, it's zoomers the next year :P
