Well I think at the start you were sort of getting at having different professions than "mercenary" or "ultimate fighting champion", I'd be cool with that.

Maybe one day you could start in adventure mode, recruit some crafty dwarves, gather all your provisions, and go start a mountain fortress, without having it start automatically like we do now.

It would be good to have a rep with each civilization, maybe integrate it with the "Legends" system.

I like the idea of pre-filled quivers, however it might not work out so well at the moment.  Once a dwarf picks up a quiver, he's always going to have it till its destroyed.  They would just empty the quivers being used for storage, the same as they do ammo bins now.  It would be good if quivers held more bolts.  

And restacking items is definitely needed.

You can change the hotkeys around in the interface.txt file.  Yeah I know its annoying to do it each time a new version comes out  

I think there are deeper issues.  Things should have different prices at different locations, depending on the supply and demand.  Immigrant clothing should depend on where they come froml: how rich they are, and what things cost over there.

The racial and regional factors that already play into clothing choice are cool, at some point the economy can be more detailed and then immigrant clothing can depend on it also.

There are a lot of scenario type ideas here.  Unfortunately they are not scheduled until after version 1.

The essential idea, of a User Defined Scoring System, is a good one.  I'm thinking it's a long way out, but Toady is very good about Adding Things To The List, so why not add it.

It looks like Toady worked on this suggestion

It is pretty cool when you see individual bolts with goblin blood, dwarf blood, or goblin and dwarf blood on them.  But for sanity, I think we can say a bolt (of a material) is a bolt.  Also, a coin is a coin, at minimum coins of the same year and material should be stackable.

Being able to ignore a monster the same way you can forbid an item would be useful.  You can already ignore areas (pretty much) with zone designation.
