Dwarves can submit food purchase requests
« on: October 27, 2011, 05:29:25 am »
Just a small one, but when requesting food from merchants, it would be neat to know that someone in the fort likes, say, pond grabber entrails without having to check through every single dwarf's preferences beforehand. Wouldn't even have to list their name, just put a checkmark next to the item as you scroll through the selections. If you want to get fancy, it wouldn't happen automatically, but only if the dwarf has an outgoing/demanding personality, and/or only if you have appointed a manager and assigned hir an office.

Also nice would be cultural habits. Children that grow up in you fortress ought to pick their preferences from food that they know of. So after a while you'll get forts where everyone likes moghopper eyeballs, and then a diplomat from the fortress in the giant toad swamps visits and she's like ew, gross, give me real food!

Nobles, philosophers and legendaries can and should develop strange tastes for the unusual and the unknown. Their status obliges them.

And nobles should like expensive food.

Not expensive.  Hard to get.

Maybe if there are clown nobles, when they're planing to go shopping?
