Demands are announced at the bottom of the screen, but if you miss the message, you can see if a noble is demanding anything on the [[nobles screen|noble's screen]]. If the uppercase bracketed word '[DEMAND]' next to a noble's name is gray, he is making no demands. If white, his current demands have been fulfilled or surpassed. If brown (or yellow when highlighted) the noble has stated their demand and has given you time to complete it. If red, the demanded is expected to have been completed already. | Demands are announced at the bottom of the screen, but if you miss the message, you can see if a noble is demanding anything on the [[nobles screen|noble's screen]].
