Demands are always for furniture, and can be for either [[furniture]] of a certain type, like a [[table]], or [[furniture]] of a certain material, like [[copper]] items. Sometimes they specify both, for example "green glass window in dining room". It can happen that the demand will read "item in room" - this is due to a bug and the demand then cannot be fulfilled. |

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]].
