It would be a really good feature if you could hire your own captain from a hiring npc found in generated structures. All factions' troop hiring npcs would have their own and would have them to hire for a high alignment and sliver coins. Being able to hire your own troop hiring npc would allow you to station them in your own fortress instead of always going to find them in generated ones and would make it cool to have them based in your military headquarters.

It would also be useful if there was a way to put all of your troops in gaurd mode by using a horn or something like that. It would be different than halt mode, as it would make all troops aware of their surrondings and attack evil npcs if they are in a certain range. There is a way to put your troops in gaurd mode, it is just that you have to do each one manually, so this would be more efficient.

Lastly, this is just a note, because I don't know how easy this would be to implement or how it would easily work, but it would be pretty helpful to have a npc for hire that could help you mine. It would be in the same category as a farmer npc, except that it could help you do the time consuming task of mining tons of blocks.

Let me know your suggestions and I am pretty sure there hasn't been a similar post yet.
