If there's one thing I'd like to see added, it's the ability to define default behaviour when you miss a stronghold event due to travel. A number of times I've had a person show up seeking employment or asking for money or an escort and I've missed them because I've been travelling to the other side of the map and you only have a day to respond.
If you could set it up so you can tell the steward to automatically hire job seekers if you have a spare slot or auto pay/escort with the first available character, that'd be a rather nice addition. Not essential by any stretch of the imagination but twice now I've missed hiring a dunryd psion due to travel time and it's a bit disappointing, I'd like to give them a job since they've had a bit of a rough time of it lately
