DF Gameplay Questions / Royal entourage shows up without king
« on: April 02, 2011, 12:31:07 pm »
Hello!

I'm playing one of my more succesful fortresses so far, with an ice fortress on a glacier. Everything was (is) going swimmingly and after many years I managed to meet the conditions to become the capital. I get the message saying that the 'king has arrived with his entire entourage' and that my fortress has become the Mountainhome - yay!

But...there is no king. Nobles screen just shows me my duke and mayor and the other 'regular' nobles, but no king. The migration wave had a couple of legendary macedwarfs in it, so his entourage does seem to have made it, like the message said.

The civilization screen gives me "this land has no important leaders" for my Dwarven civ.

So...does that mean I never had a king to begin with? If so, it's a little confusing to get that message and to see his phantom entourage arrive. And will I ever get a king if that's the problem? Because it would be a real shame to have carved out those massive royal quarters for naught. :)

P.S. I checked the units screen to see if I had a friendly non-dwarven king around, but nothing

DF Gameplay Questions / Insane Baron
« on: October 07, 2010, 08:35:50 am »
Hey everyone, I'm new here and relatively new to DF (third fortress, counting a reclaim) so I hope I'm not asking anything stupid here. :)

I have a fortress of about 220 dwarves with great wealth (both produced and exported). It took me a while to get a Baron, probably because of the bug I read about with the liaison. Once I did what was in the wiki (delay meeting with liaison until trade caravan left) he did propose my fortress become a colony/barony.

I suggested a dwarf and he became baron. I then started building a seperate throne room for him, but he became miserable because of the lack of shiny room in the meantime and finally went over the edge when he saw my mayor's nice room. :-) He went stark raving mad, to be more precise. Now...this is where my question comes in: as soon as he went insane he was apparently stripped of his baron title and became a regular soapmaker again. Baron was also scrapped from my noble screen.

I locked him in and starved him to death, but no replacement came/ was suggested, not even with the next dwarven caravan. Is this normal, him being stripped of his title without a replacement? And will there still be another baron?
