Can't become a Barony.
« on: December 01, 2012, 04:14:33 pm »
So, the liaison arrived, talked about imports and exports with my mayor, and left. My population is over a hundred, my exported wealth is 45K (including 5K of offerings) my created wealth is 414K, and I am a metropolis. So why did I not get promoted to a Barony? Is there something I'm missing?

Edit: Also I have met the requirements for the c: becoming the capital button to show up.
Sorry if I am a bit slow in replying but I am heading out the door right now. Thanks for you help in advance.

because everyone here is OCD and ADHD, and then complain when their dwarfs act similarly in game.

Have you given enough goods you've created as gifts?  I think 5000 urists is the amount necessary to get promoted initially, or at least that is how much I usually give to get the mountain homes to promote, but pushing it over that can be helpful.

Check that your offerings actually went to dwarven caravans, and not to elven/human. They don't count towards barony/county etc upgrade.

Yeah, I gave 5007 Dwarfbucks of goods to the last caravan (all I get is dwarves since I'm on an island). Do you have to give offerings to become a Barony? If so, then that would explain my issue (and means that somebody has to update the wiki).

You do not. My current fort became a Barony by Year 3 or so, and a Duchy a couple of years after that, and we've never offered a thing to anyone--although we do give every trading caravan a 100% profit margin. My population cap is set at 50, so my guy is the Duke over a village.
