Force monarchy
« on: January 03, 2013, 06:55:47 am »
Hello good sirs,

I am trying to find some way for my mayor to inherit the monarchy of a vampire queen that's just arrived. After a bit of research, I think that my best bet to do that without generating a new world would be to use dfusion capabilities. My initial ideas, first being the best option, last being the ugliest hack:
- Change position of the dwarves in question,
- Make the monarch an appointed noble,
- Somehow make the mayor the single heir,
- Allow the consort to inherit the monarchy and force marry them.

Do you know of any way or can you help me devise a new one?

Thank you for your time.

I suggest that you ask this in the DFusion or whatever utility you decide on thread.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

I would, but I don't know if this can be done by that utility or any other means. So I just put it out there on the main board.

could be done (the first thing using dfhack/lua) second thing might be even doable by editing raws (open entity_default.txt in your save/raws directory and add [APPOINTED_BY:EXPEDITION_LEADER][APPOINTED_BY:MAYOR] after [POSITION:MONARCH])  might need to disable [SUCCESSION:BY_HEIR]

Once a world is generated anything involving noble positions is fixed into place. So while it would theoretically be possible through raw editing, it would require a regen.

Edit a raw shouldn't bee too hard, but the idea is not to regenerate the world.
If you are talking about a lua script just for that, I would very much appreciate that.

Here you go: this or for a download, save to file (make-monarch.lua) in folder hack/scripts, then select unit you want to be a monarch with 'v' and type "make-monarch" in dfhack console

Just tested this. The queen is now a vampire farmer, and the mayor is now king. Thank you so much.
