No Nobility=No War
« on: May 02, 2013, 06:59:09 pm »

was bored with my fortress, bored of dealing with just gobbos and zombies.  i kill off a few human and elven caravans.  humans declare war, siege me a few times.  duke causes the death of a few people because of his stupid mandates, so he meets a forgotten beast.  suddenly, humans refuse to do war with me.  i sack their caravans, i kill their people, same with the elves.  does not having royalty, and only having a mayor, mean you can't war with anyone but goblins/zombies?

I've never tried going to war with the humans, but the elves are _really_ reluctant about going to war with you, nobility or not. I've tried riling them up for years in a fort, and that one had a duchess. When you have no noble, don't the visits from human diplomats stop? I think being unfriendly to diplomats is the most reliable way to spark a war, which would mean it's currently only possible with humans _and_ requires a noble.

that's what i believe larix, as the human diplomats stopped after my duke died fighting the beast.  they won't start a war with me, which really sucks.  ah well, hopefully that'll be fixed soon
