Noble Invasion
« on: September 08, 2014, 10:52:43 pm »
So I just updated to 40.11. Throw my save in and its all good. Have a Nice fort, a baron. Goblin activity has been weak but its been a good game.

One year passes in the fort. Suddenly someone inherits and become a baroness. Ok this can happen now. Cept they are a baron of MY fort, who has a appointed baron. Well and alive mind you. What ever DF is DF start to quickly dig them out rooms fit for a Baron. Before the first room is dug another person inherits and is a baron....and another. Then someone else gets appointed as queen.

I now have 4 live barons and a queen.......

There's a bug currently where goblin invasions in the wider world always succeed, so the barons and monarchs you're getting are likely from other sites being raided and their leadership collapsing. Also, good luck dealing with all of their demands...

Well, you've got nothing to worry about then... add to his kill list by taking out a few of the nobles

When I read 'noble invasion' I imagined a horde of nobles signing the place.  Only instead of attacking, they stand out in the wilds yelling demands for froststeel tables in their bedrooms and banning exports on your most profitable items.

It's not so much of a bug as an unimplemented feature. A bug is something that is supposed to work, but doesn't. Toady just hasn't tried to make post-worldgen invasions work at all yet.

But that's just semantics; Argonnek is certainly correct about off-camera invasions always succeeding.

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.
