Noble dwarves need to schedule occasional meetings with representatives from the homelands and foreign diplomats. Meetings generally begin when the seasonal caravan arrives; merchants and traders usually have a diplomat accompanying them. Diplomats will meet with the expedition leader, mayor, baron, count, duke, or king, whichever is of highest rank. The foreigner will follow the relevant dwarf around the fortress until the meeting is finished; if your nobles have a lot of labors turned on, the meeting might take several months to conclude.
A dwarf (to conduct a meeting) will cancel most activities, including purple activities, once the dwarf becomes aware that someone wants to attend a meeting, but ie. sleeping, eating and drinking activities take priority.
If the dwarf has an office, the meeting will take place there; a high-quality office will give the dwarf who scheduled the meeting a happy thought, while a poor office will upset the dwarf. If the dwarf does not have an office, the meeting will take place in a meeting hall, a zone designated as a meeting area. Meeting in public sometimes embarrasses the dwarf, who receives an unhappy thought from having to conduct a meeting in such circumstances. Also, if your leader is taken by a strange mood during the meeting, the diplomat will leave unhappy.
Unhappy civilians sometimes schedule their own meetings with the leader in order to yell at him or her. The leader will use a social skill, either Consoler or Pacifier, to calm the unhappy dwarf. The results of this depend on the leader's skill level.
In general when a unit starts to get the "attend meeting" activity, the unit will then move to wherever the dwarf to conduct the meeting currently is, and only after arriving there go to the next location where the dwarf then is. By then the dwarf usually has become aware that a unit wants a meeting, will display the "conduct meeting" activity and go to the office. If several units want a meeting with the same dwarf, then only the first one will display the "attend meeting" activity, all others will only start to display the "attend meeting" activity, when it is there turn to attend a meeting.
Note: Treasurers (of human civs) do not want to meet with civ-level nobles, allthough it is currently unclear, whether they want to meet with the mayor or broker.
