What happens if you choose not to become a barony?
« on: February 26, 2017, 07:39:28 pm »

Has anyone ever chosen option b of the liason's dialogue "Flattering, but we'd rather maintain our distance from the homeland"?

What happens then? Will you still get migrants, will you still be able to trade with your mountainhomes? Will your mountainhomes allies still be your allies? Will your dwarves be happy? Will your mayor or expedition leader rule forever?

From the Wiki http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Baron

"This offer can be temporarily rejected (by choosing the "we'd rather keep our distance" option or by canceling out of the selection screen after agreeing), deferring the choice until the liaison's next visit. Until the offer is accepted and a candidate nominated, the liaison(s) will not negotiate trade agreements."

For the rest try it and see?  My presumption (feelotraveller believes nobles add fun  ;)) is: yes, yes. yes. no one cares, makes no difference

Turning down Baronial enlistment causes werebeast attacks.

...Well, it was actually a complete coincidence, but yeah, that was my experience anyhow. Now I accept them, just in case.
