It'd be nice to get a warning message when a dwarf is in dire straits, rather than the first hint of any problem coming when somehow your champion axedwarf's lover dies of thirst (why?  I still don't know -- she violated the usual rules on where they stand to build a construction).  If instead we had a warning that someone was now starving / dehydrated / heavily bleeding, that would help.  Not necessarily a stop-the-world-and-pause-and-zoom warning, but just something like what happens for job cancellations.

If orthoclase stops the presses surely a dwarf about to die should do the same?

Second, by the way ... good idea.

You're kidding, right?  A dwarf about to die is kind of a daily occurrence.  But orthoclase -- oh, sweet, sweet orthoclase -- *that's* important!

(More seriously, I think it's true; about-to-die as an optional pause, default on, would be optimal.)

A dwarf covered in grit, holding a pick bursts through the ornate double doors of the royal throne room.  "My lord!" he exclaims, approaching the king on his lavish golden seat, "we've done it!"

"Truly?!" the king starts, rising from his throne, "you have found a vein of the sacred mineral?!"

"Yes my lord!" the miner says, prostrating himself before the monarch, revealing a light blue stone that he had wrapped in rope reed cloth, "we've struck microcline!  Glorious microcline!"
