Claiming a hillocks
« on: July 26, 2014, 07:25:24 pm »

Is it possible to successfully site-claim a hillocks? I've killed the mayor and tried to occupy both the Castle Mound and the Civic Mound, but the successful site claim message never appears.

I am interested in the answer, whenever I make a claim, no one takes me seriously...

My guy can't even claim; he keeps saying "He forgot his bold pronouncement."

I tried to claim a kobold campsite (in an attempt to get the game to realize that yo, it's dead) which I had emptied and got the same thing.

I've never succesfully claimed anything.  at what point does it succeed? I've tried running around claiming it to everyone, killing the site leader and pretty much anyone else who gets in my way and clearing the main building of everyone, but I never get any sort of confirmation or anything?

I am quite looking forward to the next 20 or 30 years or so of developmental madness

The lord/lords may be out traveling. When out and about I've come across a general, a lord, and a lady at different times.

So far there has been no confirmation that claiming hillocks is possible. Is this a bug? I could not find anything relevant on the tracker.

Hillocks in general are just terribly designed. Either a little hill cave stuffed full of dwarfs or a basement dungeon where there are 5 dwarfs per tile.

While on the subject, has anyone managed to site claim and get a title aside from Lord/Lady?


also: i am currently the lady of 6 different towns. is there any way to unify my rule? (apparently these count as six different governments)

I believe I read somewhere you can't.

Was that a no to becoming a different rank? Or was that a "No, while you may go out and conquer the world, your lands shall remain divided despite this." or both?

Both, forgot where exactly I read that so don't take it 100%. I think it was in a thread where a retired adventurer kept showing up hostile in a reclaimed fort.

I wonder if I can, through shenanigans, get a certain person promoted to monarch, via fortress mode. If this happens with a retired adventurer (unlikely as that is) I am curious what will happen if you then take them out of retirement.

You can get an adventurer into your fortress by just spawning him from there and then retiring. Limiting the dwarves in worldgen, I've been able to get them down to 10 people. with the 8 in your fort w/adventurer you might have an easier time of getting the monarch, especially if you send a 2nd adventurer out from another source to take out the non-player fort dwarves.

This needs to be tested. I will probably do this at some point. The vast vast majority of my adventurers lately have been legendary swordmaster vampires, which probably helps.
