being the rightful heir, has inherited the baroness of
« on: March 30, 2015, 08:21:48 am »
So one of my Fortress Guard seems to have recently inherited a Barony.  What's interesting to note is that she seems to have inherited the Barony of Gemgale.  My fortress's name is Regalhelms.  So I now have a resident Baron of ANOTHER city?  Does this mean I can no longer get a Baron of my own?  If this here Baron were to somehow...vanish...would that mean that her son who is presumable still in Gemgale would become the next Baron of Gemgale?  If so, would I also be able to get a fresh, new, Baron of Regalhelms?

ive gotten in the habit of replacing my chief medical dwarf as soon as he gains any notable skill in diagnosis.
It's really funny watching them do unnecessary surgery because of a wrong diagnosis.

the conditions were bad enough to turn a dwarf who didn't care about anything mad, that's pretty hardcore.

As far as I know, having a baron for a different site doesn't prevent you from getting your own. The position is hereditary, so the child should inherit if she dies.

The best way to demonstrate it to him is take a save of 40 year old fortress with 150 dwarves in it on a good sized embark with a volcano that just breached the circus and install it on his gaming rig and watch it bring his rig to its knees.

does the other baron have associated demands/room expectations/mandates ?

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

I had an inherited baronness, and then appointed one of my dwarfs as the local baron (who then became king). Only the king was issuing mandates, though one time the barronness did have a demand.

Perhaps he the barronness didn't have any specific mandateable item preferences that would trigger her to make a mandate?

I think it would be appropriate to arm them with whatever item they mandate.

Yep, I just checked and that was it. The only preferences she had were for materials and colors, no items.

I've had six barons in a single fort. When a nearby goblin society starts marauding through your own, they can cut up a lot of old families, leaving behind just the ones that fled to you.
