These are just a couple of suggestions of what I would like to see in the future.
Dwarf Fortress Mode:
--------------------* Choosing what materials to use while using Workshops.
ex: If I would want let's say, a door of the color of stone I want.
* Immigration Office.
ex: I've been thinking about this one for a while now, and after seeing some other people suggest it I though it would be a good idea. Just like a Trade Depot you could build it and immigrants would make a pit stop and stay there for a season. Sending a immigration noble (or something I dunno
) you could choose witch immigrants you want in your fortress and witch ones you want to send packing. This could have a certain impact on your fortress.
* Pastures.
ex: This could be a zone that works like meeting places only for animals you'd want there.
Adventurer Mode:
-----------------*Dungeons/Crypts.
ex: Or other locations of the like really, something more fun than just go through caves all the time.
*Joining a City.
ex: I always kinda wanted to join a city as a worker. You could spend let's say a season helping the town with some work (automated or not) and this could make you some money to start out and maybe raise your fame..
EDIT:
Ah! Almost forgot this one
Dwarf Fortress Mode:
--------------------* Other Races Migrants.
ex: I'd want these to be rare to very rare, but would be fun to see a elf or human sitting at your door wanting to work for you. Other races could gain more experience in some area and not be able to work in other (such as elves could not mine but could gain alot of experience in wood / clothing related jobs).
