new requirements for baron
« on: March 11, 2012, 03:46:04 am »

anyone know them? seem to be a far cry from the old requirements of 10k exported, 100k created. i'm at about 1.1million created, 28k exported at the moment.

Sometimes the diplomat just doesn't initiate the meeting for it for some reason. I know it took me several seasons to get my barony up and running even though I was at upwards of 4 million created and 200k exported after making dozens of candy crafts/furniture to display in my fort and make royal everything. Anyway, I think there's an architecture requirement, so make a few buildings out of gold blocks and you might get your baron.

There is also a population requirement.  I suspect it's 20 but may be more.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

My Baroness was delighted to be promoted to Countess within a few years. Since I'd built no roads or bridges I think the main factors for promotions have to be wealth and population, both of which expanded mightily. The Countess herself being a major contributor of the latter. Possibly generous trade terms are a factor, I'm running my usual ready meals economy with some crafts thrown in. Once I've bought all I need I just let them have any surplus in the depot as profit so the homeland trades on highly favourable terms.
