I thought this bug was fixed. My mayor likes slade but never demanded it in over six years.

When I first started playing (.12 I think) I had a mayor that wanted slade stuff. 'Course I didn't know enough about the game to realize it could never be met and people kept getting beat to death by the guard. Fort ended in a  pretty bad spiral.

My mayor is demanding a raw adamantine item. I am torn between giving him one, or just dropping him down into the HFS to go perpetrate his sillyness down there.

Cuz adamantine comes in veeeeerrry limited supply, and I don't exactly want to waste any that could be going to armour/axes.

My last fort's mayor asked for a slade table.

I cracked open the circus and told him to go get it himself.

That fort didn't last too long.

Last fort went downhill when first mayor asked for Adamantine stuff.  Locked him in room and killed him.  Next one wanted Hungry Head Teeth.  Apparently they hang around the lowest caverns, and I hadn't even breached the first one.  Ditto way of dealing with it.  Third one liked millstones, but the damage had been done by then and the nasty downwards spiral had started....

Also this be .17. My first fort on it, actually. (I wanted to upgrade from .13 finally but heard some bittersweet things about .18.)

Um, .17 is exactly the same as .18, but with more crashes and bugs.  Most notably, the game will crash if you use any trap other than cage traps.

This fortress is turning into some kind of supervillain lair or something.
You do remember that you've been farming gigantic wingless dragon-fish for profit and Fun, right?

I've had it so long I don't remember where the pic comes from. If you mean the guy himself that's Final Fantasy 6's Kefka.

You know that a mayor can easily be replaced? With a few simple keypresses? And that you don't really have to kill them in response to this, so might as well admit you're doing it for the fun of it? And suck up the consequences rather than act like it's something that happened to you?

Killing mayors off is a way of life. You can't just shake it off with a few keypresses.

Wait, really?

HOW?

This is my first fort to get past starvation/boozicide/first gobin ambush, and thus actually have some slight modicum of success. How do I re-mayor? Or alternatively, will just extracting strands satisfy him?

go to the nobles screen (n) and hit replace (r) and choose a new one, just like with your expedition leader (who became mayor once you got enough subjects)
