So, I've got a fort on it's 11th year (the FPS, it buuuuurns). I've been trying to get a baron for the past 5 years, without success.

I noticed when I looked at the civ screen around year 2 that we didn't seem to have anyone filling the position of monarch. The title was just absent. Since then, the title has neither been filled nor shown up. I'm starting to think that I don't have a monarch.

Bug?

I didn't know a monarch was essential to a civilisation.
Perhaps you haven't the numbers? Not at your fort, I mean in the entire civ.

Tell you what, there's a whole lot of people who would like to have your civilisation. Many players out there don't like having a monarch and all that that entails.

I think Monarch is always present. I once spawned (As a newly made adventurer) in a camp where nobody, but me and and queen.

Numbers are not important. I once had one of my dwarfs crowned king on year two.

[BoogieMan]

One of my older forts had a blank entry for Monarch and no liaison showed up until the end of year 2 I believe. Not long after the monarch slot was occupied and things seem to be normal. I wasn't ready for that, when they finally arrived, everyone had been hunting vermin for sustenance for awhile and most of the population was flashing hungry. Luckily no one starved to death.

I just figured that the previous leader had been killed or died naturally and it took awhile for a replacement to show up, and without a replacement no liaisons were being sent out.

On a related note, will queen's successor show up now if the queen is dead? She had lots of kids.

Last time I checked dwarven nobles are not hereditary.

Not exactly related, but I just recently made a fort where my civ had a confusing amount of goblins holding positions. I only noticed when my outpost liaison was a goblin.

I got a baroness in 40.23 auto-claimed the title for herself (rightful somethingorother) through family relationship to the monarch. No idea what happens when the Queen dies though, IIRC they are not replaced. Succession wars might be implemented when we get to send armies out.

They are as of 40.xx, succession was fixed.

I've found that sometimes, for some reason, in order to get a barony, you need to keep the outpost liason from meeting with your expedition leader until the caravan has left.

If the monarch had previously died, It takes some time for a new one to be made. Or your civilization could just be extinct.

I doubt this, as I'm still getting caravans. Plus there's other appointed barons for other forts of the civ, and I haven't been getting any messages saying forts have fallen...

[Csponge]

You might be able to become the capitol if you offer a tonne of items to the next caravan of your civ, and also build a lot of stuff to bump up your forts worth in architecture.

[zubb2]

Yes. I've never had a monarch.
