Just one dwarf should carry a lot of clothes pieces, not only one. Just like one lone dwarf shouldn't haul a big and heavy rock.
The sum of the two modes is what made this game unique.
And the adveture mode as it is is just another roguelike, but developed it can be a lot more.
And I would like very much if you canīt find every kind of precious or useful metal ever discovered by the dwarves at one fortress. You should have a few kind of ores, and should had to trade for the others. This would give a greater importance in trading - as it is, trading is only useful at the beggining of the fortress.
The first part would be item gdamaging by the weather (though I think it's in the the dev pages) - rust of iron itens, rotting of clothes, food, wood, left outside.
Usually itens hang outside for years until my dwarves bring them inside to be dumped or sold to caravans.
Clothes and another organic materials should rot in a year when left at the weather - completely dissapearing. If you want them, you should bring them inside ASAP.
Iron would rust in a few years. Other metals could be covered my sand and mud and lost forever.
Obviously, named itens, artifacts and masterpieces could be dug back later.
Another suggestion would be that itens of the dead should be forbidden as soon as they owners are killed, as arrows and bolts are when fired. This could be an option. This would avoid stuipd dwarves being killed when trying to recover itens of fallen comrades.
