Are dwarves extinct in your world?

I didn't check - but the caravan arrived no problem, ever year. I think I saw on reddit that this may be because the liason was killed en route. I don't think this could happen 3 years in a row though.

Check in the civilization screen - "c" if there is any assigned liaison for your civilization.

I've had the same issue with my first caravan where the caravan arrived however the liaison did not. Checked civ screen and the dwarven civ is not extinct(there is a queen and baron) however no mention of a liaison.

Is this problem still present in 0.40.12+? If so, please upload a save that reproduces the problem to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ and post the link here.

Here is a save that might be related: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=12071

The save is from the first no-show outpost liaison (she had arrived for the previous 7 caravans). Retiring (or abandoning) the fort and checking the legends shows that the liaison had settled in a place called Valleyoil every spring since embark (in 75), but there is no record of her death and the last entry for her is in spring of 82, even though she did successfully accompany the caravan in fall of 82.

Something I just realized while typing: the caravan did not bring what I had ordered in 82, so maybe something stopped her from leaving the map and transmitting the information? However, there is no record of her still being in the fort (alive or dead).

The save loads on 14 Limestone, the traders arrive on 15 Limestone. I have played the fort for a little over 3 years further, but started using DFHack after this point (to fix/work around a couple of other bugs), so this is the last "clean" save I have without replaying those three years. The liaison has never shown up again (nor received any more entries in Legends Mode), but I don't know if it's a DFHack issue (making the bug worse/never-ending), or if it would have been in the vanilla game anyway (my guess is the latter, since it appeared before I started using DFHack, but I can't be sure). I do have later "DFHack-contaminated" saves, if it's decided that they would be useful.
