Also, make dwarves need oil to reproduce.

What are they? Elves?

Sounds more like automata.

Dwarfs may fake ill health, reporting in at the hospital. The doctor's social skills will be challenged.

Some might want to avoid work or military service.

[Starver]

Sometimes dwarfs will wander through your territory who appear to be avoiding work or military service. You can choose to subject them to arbitrary hastle through your duly appointed Sheriff/CotG, such as dragging them back to the side of the map when they try to visit the tavern, imprisonment with menaces and cutting off their beards.

Every now and then, you'll find out that this dwarf is a veteran military dwarf and you'll find your escalated efforts to punish them turning into an unfair fight in the landscape surrounding your fort, with traps you didn't create causing problems for any militia unit you might send against them and (if you persist) possible destruction of various sections of your fort and undodgable ranged damage on your Sheriff, etc.

[BigUglyWorm]

High-ranking dwarves already demand lavish living quarters and tombs.  Up the stakes by having every subsequent noble and monarch in a given position demand more, bigger, and better ones than their predecessors, until your entire map is consumed by their collective egos.

[Starver]

Sometimes they command defiling/overbuilding/dismantling of the earlier tombs, including spoiling engravings relating to their predecessors.  This inevitably creates powerful restless spirits and curses as each new generation, mindful of what happened to ancestors by their hand or others, becomes determined to deflect this post-mortem fate from themselves.

[anewaname]

After the fort's highest official is elected, there is a chance they will demand quarters for all dwarfs that currently do not own a bed. They do this in addition to demanding more lavish quarters for themselves.

[Egan_BW]

Oh no, that would make life easier for dwarves.

[Naturegirl1999]

I already try giving all dwarves a bed, what’s the problem?

Oh, I love this.  I really love this.

Oh no, that would make life easier for dwarves.

Oh shit, can't have that!

Alternately, the opposite: nobles demand worse quarters for everyone else.  What good is lounging in your half-acre goose down bed with silk sheets unless you also know that the proles who serve you are sleeping on naked bedrock?

[Egan_BW]

Nobles who are sadistic will have random dwarves tortured.

Nobles who are sadistic will have random dwarves tortured.

The torture is planting trees on the surface.

Have you seen the graphics pack that will ship with the steam version? Masterful designed workshops with tools carefully laid out.

It's about those tools I want to talk. Obviously workshops should have tools. Tools that degrade in use. This should include pickaxes of course.

While crafting of new tools is mandatory to even farm or use the kitchen, they should rely on parts that are randomly generated each world, like the musical instruments.

Urist Metalcrafter cancels job: Can't forge pliers, need glass bolts.
Urist Glassmaker cancels job: Can't make glass bolts, need pliers.

The possibilities are endless.

Leaders addressing the concerns of their constituants is a really good suggestion, along with all the distortions which could be introduced (for exemple a leader only caring for major landowners). Could we add assemblies?

Nah, a terrible suggestion could be to have a firtress-wide referendum decice of every question, including the emplacement of a stockhouse.

Or who is supposed to fulfill the latest mandate. The debate will often go on past the mandate deadline, causing the hammerer to go on a random hammering spree until they get tired. (If the hammerer is a vampire, or otherwise incapable of getting tired, the spree never ends.)
