Small noble question
« on: January 24, 2012, 06:00:29 am »

I have a countess. She is married... I don't particularly like her. If she had an accident would her husband take over the position?

Hello, eye, you seem to horribly confused here, to simplify this, you have to manually let the husband occupy the position.... that's if you want.

Th-th-th-that's all folks

Is it an error? Oh, and by the way, you should probably know that if your screen is highlighting "Countess", and there's another option called "Count", you have to select that.

No.  The countess cannot be manually replaced.  If you kill her, nobody will replace her, and you won't get an offer for another count or countess after she's gone.

She has a one year old so I don't think I'll have the patience to wait that long.
And she was promoted to Duchess with the last caravan.
Anyway thanks Garath and everyone else. I guess I'll just deal with her until the Monarch arrives.

No. If your baron/count/duke/baroness/countess/duchess dies, you don't get another. Those positions are irreplaceable.
