Announcements you'd like to see

What announcements would you like to see? Here's one I'd like to see:

"Traders have finished unloading their goods and are ready to start trading!"

''Urist is about to do something stupid!"

Dragonwork, A Successful Failure.
Legacy of Insightshields
Many more made tales in this hall,
before the stronghold found it's fall.
An enemy none could stop or yield,
had taken over Insightshields.

Configurable "You're running low on X", requiring a somewhat skilled bookkeeper/manager.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

1) Urist McAquaLung is drowning! *zoom to location*

2) Your fortress is melting! Nice try! *All ice based constructions suddenly deconstruct into slush* ( Should be very random just to mess with people what do ice megaprojects. )

3) Your dwarfs feel uneasy .. it could be - KEAS! HOLY ARMOK INCOMING! ( User configurable for one specifically aggravating natural species. )

4) Urist McHaddenouff has engraved a masterpiece of bitter obscenity! ( Said engraving essentially stating, in no uncertain terms, that this fortress sucks & you can kiss his hairy beard goodbye. Followed by: ... )

5) Urist McColourCommentator has emigrated!

6) Urist McWallDodger can't path to life's necessities! *zoom to location*

7) The traders have changed their minds? *zoom to location* .. Instead of traders entering the map you find a note stating: "No. Just no." or similar.

And the one I'd most like to see ...

The Elephants of Boatmurdered fame hath arrived! Bye bye. *Carnage*

I don't think losing guts actually kills you, you just throw up and pass out and bleed to death.
This was supposed to be a cool upgrade. All I got was more hostile zombies.

"Your Trade Depot is no longer accessible!"

Whoops, time for some intensive lawn mowing.

"A/An X has been destroyed by a tantruming citizen!" + zoom to location.

(Do you even get notified when a building is destroyed by something else?)

Urist McRaggedy is sad because he can't replace his X+pig tail trousers+X!

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

"Urist cancel activity because <item with location> is unreachable!" *zoom to location with a-z*
It took me twenty minutes to find the one tree they couldn't reach (and never tried any other trees, of course).
