Actually .... yeah, that would be nice.

However, similar behavior could be achieved through assigning a dwarf to a temporary burrow where the relevant work needs to be done.

There are multiple ways to get rid of that sabotaging tree. Burrows, canceling earlier designation and so on.

@ King Mir and Bytytan
I guess having 2 tiers would be enough (low and high priority), more would only be icing on the cake.

This sounds like a job for a Quartermaster (or as it used to be called "Arsenal dwarf"). A noble that would make sure everybody is properly armed and informs the overseer if items are lost / out of reach.

After getting the generic "Urist is missing" message I paused the game. Found the corpse on the bedroom level. 10 minutes of detective work later I found him.
" ... The High Council has found you guilty! Since no physical punishment could ever make up for the suffering you have brought upon the mountain homes, you will not be sentenced for hammering. And your death will not bring back the lives you have taken during your unnaturally long life. No! Death would only free you from the course that has fallen upon you!
Instead, we will give you an eternity to make up for all the wrong doings you brought upon your brothers and sisters!
For you will be locked in a 2 x 2 cell with only a chair and a table. No bed, no food, NO BOOZE!
And you will stay locked inside that cell until you have counted everything! Every block of rock, every bag of sand, every metal bar and every piece of thread in the fort!
Once everything is precisely written down, you will be set free."
The Vampire: HA! You worthless mortals! I will play your stupid GAME! For I accept your challenge! A couple of years from now I will walk out of this hole as a free dorf!
And so he walked in to his prison. There he stayed for years. He worked hard, updating the records, slowly getting better. But whenever he thought that the end is near, something happened.
Then he discovered, that for as long as the fort lives, the stockpiles need to be updated.
Like Sisyphus, the vampire was trapped in a never ending loop. For whenever he started the updated, it was already out of date, for all of eternity, till the FPS lag, slowly, freezes him in place...

Damn, I'm getting like +200 ping, is the server US or EU?

There is a lot of "lets play"s on the internet if you want to get a closer look.
So far I only red a bit about Gnomoria. Last time I checked it was still work in progress with some potential.

Edit: yup, it's still in alpha "...The release date is TBD."

I tried to amass my forces before charging but they decided to charge at first sight and get picked off one at a time. Why do they do this? Does anyone else have this problem?

Soldiers charge at first sight of enemy troops, and don't give up until they run out of enemies to kill or limbs to kill with.
Since it's a siege, you should be prepared to welcome the enemy with traps, bolts and blades.
Don't charge out, trap them inside.

I have two dwarves out hunting, but im not sure if they willl find anything in the wastes. I need them to find animals for bones.
...

Bones? Why would you need those? What you need are maces for your soldiers.

Had a raven cause a dwarf to dodge off of one of my towers.

I had a raven that "smacked" a baby in the head. I bet the mother used the child as a makeshift club.
