(I'm confident this has been submitted but it may be worth posting again for those that may not have seen it.)

Unless I'm missing something, I am finding that I need to promote a kitten to the leader role if I want to promote them specifically.

For example, I just got Engineers and want to promote them to ensure they are the appropriate rank for the task I'm assigning. However, using the Promote Kittens tool doesn't allow for specific promotions, so I instead need to make the target kitten the leader, then promote. It's a simple step but can be a bit tedious.

As a follow-up, it's also somewhat difficult to find specific kittens in the Census section.

For example, I made another Factory and now want to assign a kitten as an Engineer. However, I don't want to pull a master level kitten away from their optimal job. Instead, I want to find a kitten who is either the newest or has the least amount of skill in other roles. Currently, I've just been filtering by jobs and traits and have been fairly lucky with finding appropriate kittens but I imagine this may be more difficult further down the road. Granted, a simple solution may be to make a new Hut/House/Mansion when making a new Factory and assign the new kitten as an engineer, but that may not always be possible as you reach housing caps.

So in summary, the following features may be a nice addition:

• The ability to promote specific kittens from the Census section without needing to make them the leader first.
• The ability to sort by the following criteria:
  • Kitten Age
    • This one might not actually be useful.
  • Kitten Rank
  • Kitten Skill Level
• The ability to filter by Kitten Skills
  • i.e. If a Kitten has levels in a specific skill, they appear in the filter.
• (new)The ability to pin specific kittens to the left menu like you can for trades.
  • Clicking on the pinned kitten would switch them to the leader position.
  • This would make it slightly easier to switch between leaders for those sweet trait bonuses, especially when you take the Monarchy policy.
  • Ideally, the pinned kittens would display their names, rank, and trait.
    • It could maybe display info about which skill is actively being used but that may become too lengthy.

Of course, all of these are nice-to-haves, not must-haves. Loving this game!
