The one thing a noble should never, ever like are large gems. Production mandates for those are a sure recipe for desaster.

This touches on a question I never got answered, mostly because it pains me to do so ingame. Can stones become large gems? Sounds unlikely. Cutting stones and then encrusting them on stuff can probably be valuable in the long run though. Much like engraving it helps a bit to make dwarves happy.

I get a lot of statues of my baron surrounded by amulets.   Presumably because he perpetually demands amulets forbids their export.  You're probably already wondering why I put up with him.  It is because I picked him myself and to get rid of him would be to admit I was wrong with my nomination.  In my forts, I am never wrong!

Hey, at least asking for amulets is reasonable. He could be the kind of guy who constantly demands glass shit on a map with no sand.

It's more interesting for sure, what, with the beatings and all when I forget to pay attention!  A few times my hammerer didn't kill them, but uh, he's been getting better recently.  I need to stop giving him so much practice...

I put a amulet-only stockpile down in his royal area, guarded by dogs, that takes amulets out of my crafts output stockpile so that I don't accidentally trade away a bin full of them and give my clothier (why my clothiers?  they can't make amulets you jerk!) 10 life sentences.    I like my crazy loot-hoarding baron.


I also like my mayor, because he's a cool guy and mollifies a lot of the more upset dwarves that might otherwise tantrum.   I'm almost positive he's the reason that the faulty clothing orders for my military that left them all nude and on patrol for months didn't kill half my fortress.

"Engraved is an image of (ExpeditionLeader) and Vomit. The vomit is striking down the (Expedition Leader).

So... yeah... flying vomis is deadly...

As long as the vomit isn't striking a menacing pose...

You were saying?

I think they can, because I recall foolishly making my Baron a large gem lover and then immediately getting a large gem mandate, and I cut a shitton of rocks until I got enough large gems to please her. Which did eventually happen. I think.
