Mining for ores when you have wars to plan (especially if your a leader on a server) can be rather tedious and time consuming when you need to focus on other matters. I think it would be interesting if you could hire Dwarven miners that would do like farmers except when you give them a plot of land they will mine a quarry of some sort. You could have them mine for specific ores or just make a big big down that has a staircase leading to the bottom. I don't know what the thing would be when they actually finish mining. Perhaps if you have a lot of them you can order them to create a mineshaft like in a normal Dwarven mine. This would be similar to farmers in hiring and there could be a unit for evil facts that would be a variant of a nurnian slave. In their inventory you could give them torches so they'll place the occasional torch while mining.
