Something I would Like to see is a noble "huntmaster" this noble would be like a combination of the bookeeper and manager. he would keep a list of the wild animals in the location of the fort as well as a number of current ones on the map at the moment ( the bookeeper functon ) and he can tell the trappers you have to "hunt" a specific number of a specific animal ( manager function ), I got the Idea for this guy when I had a Noble Demand fox leather items and my trappers couldn't kill a fox for love nor money ( and yes they were native to my map )

Genious.

[Draco18s]

Indeed it is genius.
Maybe add a way to manage EXACTLY what material my masons use to make tables?  I have a demand for a schist table, I have schist and 3 mason workshops turning out stone tables, but I have as of yet (since the dawn of my fort) to see a schist table.
Or another demand: "sapphite item in throne room."
I have sapphires....and no way to make an item out of sapphire that I can then PLACE in a specific place OR a way to encrust an existing specific item (i.e. the throne) with sapphires.
And I'd like a way to force the hauling of the 9 lye buckets I have littering my ashery preventing me from making potash ("OMGZorz! I have no lye!" say the dwarves).

[Rondol]

Uses perhaps for guild representatives?

[Draco18s]

Perhaps.
Except hauling the d*mn lye.  It doesn't even show up in the Jobs list.

[Rondol]

A hunting guild representative could actually be interesting. Of course considering the guild reps do nothing as of yet it woudl just be another burden on your economy, but...

[GauHelldragon]

if you want to kill a certain animal, why not just use your military?

[Draxxalon]

Somewhat off-topic, but the only way I've been able to make a "Gem_Type" object to place in their throne room, is to build a window of said material in the room.

[Draco18s]

I'll try that.  My noble didn't like his sapphire encircled floodgate.

[Seryntas]

*snicker* Can you imagine trying to present a real-life noble with a fancy, gem-encrusted floodgate so he can put it in his office?

[Wahnsinniger]

Despite that we have too many nobles already, a Huntmaster does seem like a good idea.

Plus various Guild Representatives allowing you to choose specifically what material to use is a Great idea. Don't see it happening soon though.

Yes!  Yes I can!
Er...maybe not. But they'd probably keep it on a shelf or something (floodgates aren't that large--I've seen one that supplies an entire apple orchard (easily double digit acres) with water that's only 1'x1'.  Mind, the orchard isn't a production orchard anymore, it's been a tourist attraction and deer feeder for, like, 40 years).

[Maximus]

Well, some players make a gift of floodgates to every single noble that arrives at the fortress...
