DF Suggestions / Dear Toady...

Hi there.
First, well done on making such a great game. It's a really amazing accomplishment and we really enjoy reading about all the new stuff you're working on with cities and night creatures.
But...
I get the feeling that a whole lot of us would really appriciate the fixing of the many existing features of Dwarf Fortress that don't work properly right now. Sorry if that sounds boring, but many of us sit playing the game with such feelings of longing and hope that one day all the cool things that you've already invented will work, that reading about the new things you're working on can feel disappointing.
Principally I'm talking about things like:
- Nobles coming along at the right times and being able to get monarchs.
- Dungeonmasters arriving at all
- At least a -small- fortress economy so that (for example) dwarfs don't end up naked when all their clothes decay
- Rivers eventually running out of fish
- Not being able to feed elephants and keep them alive
- Dwarfs not being able to carry more than one item (/weapon) at a time
- Whatever happened to wagons?
I'm sure some of these things are on hold while you work on the Grand Plan, and I realise they're not as exciting as getting new features to work, but I think many of us would appriciate it, perhaps as an intermediate release.
Love and peace,
Luge.
