| − | Nobles are special dwarves who will immigrate to your fortress when you meet certain requirements | + | Nobles are special dwarves who will immigrate to your fortress when you meet certain requirements. They have far greater requirements for happiness than a common dwarf and will perform almost no labor in the normal sense of the word. They can and will make extremely inconvenient demands of your time and production and are usually well armed and armored, which becomes relevant if you ignore their happiness long enough for them to throw tantrums or go berserk. |

Each noble's profile will give the exact details of what he requires. In general, they demand several rooms of a quality dependent on the rank of the noble. Usually, this is an [[office]] (built from chairs), a [[dining room]] (built from tables) and a [[bedroom]] (built from beds). In addition, they will want furniture of certain kinds. The specifics vary, but most nobles like having [[chest]]s, [[cabinet]]s, [[weapon rack]]s, and [[armor stand]]s in their rooms. | Each noble's profile will give the exact details of what he requires.

Pursuant to this, they will always receive an unhappy thought if they do not have more material possessions and better property than their subordinates. Only Legendary dwarves are exempt from this comparison with nobles. Nobles may also have worries or concerns related to their specific field. The Sheriff, for example, will receive an unhappy thought if you do not have sufficient [[cage]]s or [[restraint|chains]], and the Captain of the Guard will be upset if there are too few [[fortress guard]]s. |
===Mandates=== | ===Mandates=== | ||
| − | Some nobles also issue mandates for production of different items | + | Some nobles also issue mandates for production of different items - usually items they like personally - or prohibit exports of a certain products. Nobles become upset if production mandates aren't met at the appointed deadline. These [[mandate]]s seem to increase in volume as time passes, and they also seem to increase in number if the nobles are living in rooms that are below their standards. |
===Guild Mandates=== | ===Guild Mandates=== | ||
Once you have a [[mayor]] and one or more guild nobles you may periodically see another type of mandate. If a dwarf spends too much of a season idle or doing tasks outside their profession, they will become unhappy about the amount of work available and will seek out a meeting with their guild representative (if their guild is present). The guild noble will then take their complaints to the Mayor, who will issue a mandate the next season requiring a certain number of profession-specific tasks to be completed. These mandates can be avoided entirely by making sure all dwarves have plenty of work related to their profession; if you have too many immigrants in a profession you don't need, train them in something else until their profession changes or draft them into the military if you want to avoid them taking time off to complain to the guilds. | Once you have a [[mayor]] and one or more guild nobles you may periodically see another type of mandate.

| − | Despite their downsides, nobles usually provide you with significant advantages as well | + | Despite their downsides, nobles usually provide you with significant advantages as well. As examples, the Broker will allow you to see the cash value of the goods you trade in the trade interface and the Manager will allow you to place large-scale production orders for any item in the game rather than locating individual workshops and queueing up the jobs one at a time. Additionally, though most nobles "will not work" (according to the {{k|v}} menu), this merely means they will not do any job from the official "jobs list." They will, however, harvest food, move items to the trade depot, pull levers, and, in some cases, move caged animals/monsters. |

Nobles that die are replaced in a later immigration season. If a Noble dies while his/her consort survives, the arrival of their replacement will result in multiple consorts. (Yes, they are multiplying. Be very afraid.) |
