Tons of Barons
« on: September 10, 2024, 11:12:18 am »

Recently, denizens of my forts have begun inheriting nobility titles quite frequently. I’ve got 4 barons in my current fort, and one of my previous forts also had one (long before any was supposed to be appointed). It’s frankly getting irritating. They still have room requirements and make both demands and mandates, but they don’t come with any of the upsides a normal barony is supposed to grant you. I can’t even make them have an accident because they are skilled dwarves with many relationship ties. This has never happened to me before. Anyone else experiencing this increase in inheritances?

On one hand this is right up there with mermaid farm for the most horrible thing I've ever heard, on the other hand this beats the hell out of just murdering the children for being useless liabilities like I've been doing so far.

The increase of inheritance is caused by a bunch of nobles dying at once. This usually happens when every noble's age is clumped near each other or the mountainhome got raided.

My world is 250 years old, so the former is entirely possible.
