And now I can cut down trees, turn them into wooden statues of trees, (lol) and stick them up outside my fort just to piss the elves off.

Your mind, I love it.

Is there anything that's not possible to demand exactly that can't get made from stone?

Honestly, what are the chances that burning through a new bedroom wing worth of stone won't produce more than enough flutes, and a significant amount of trade goods (that fit nicely in ONE bin, I might add)

Add to that the fact that nobles don't seem to make requests unless you are relatively short on an item (in my experience they are happy to claim the crap, and only ask for more when it starts running low)

Once again, nobles are dicks. I wonder what elven nobles are like. They probably don't exist because they choke to death on the distasteful EVERYTHING.

Elf nobles are probably like
Grove master(Makes sure dwarves aren't killing trees, and counts trees)
Druid(magicy stuff. business noble)
Nature Walker(Trains any animal, vicious animals won't attack elves as long as he's around.)

Heh, I read "Groove Master" the first time I saw it...

Here's my picture of elf nobles:
Groove master: Smokes Rope Reed.
Druid: Smokes Rope Reed.
Nature Walker: Smokes Rope Reed, says 'Druid, where's my car?" and then walks places because the druid can't find it either.
Archer Captain: Smokes Rope Reed, sometimes shoots out all an adventurer's vital organs.

I think, though, that the Nobilic requests of "I want three harps" are supposed to be difficult. 

Oh, I'm sure the nobles' demands will still be as obnoxious as ever. If the player gets more control over orders, then the demands will get that much more specific. Like a featherwood flute, adorned with hanging rings of clear glass.

"Death" is crossed out, and it says "Flutes" underneath.

A room full of tentacle demon statues. :o

:D Yes!

And the fact that you had to chop down 3000 trees just to get those 4 statues is just to add insult to... insult. :D
