Will the King replace the Duke?
« on: July 09, 2009, 07:47:15 pm »
If I get the king to arrive at my fortress, will that cause the Duke to leave? If not, would I not get another if the existing one has an "Unfortunate accident"?

No and yes.
Your duke will stay and make silly mandates, and another will come if you kill him off.
They keep on coming...

Cage and sell him. You'll never get another.

It can, but not always. And as for caging him, try building a 1x2 room with a lever and a cage trap. Set the lever so only he can pull it, and set it to repeatetly pull. When he's in there, lock the door and cancel the lever pulling job. With a bit of luck, he'll fall asleep on the trap and get nabbed.

To my knowledge, a dwarf can't fall aslep on top of a trap. He'll probably fall asleep on the lever instead, or something else.

Fill his room with cage traps, and orchestrate a cave in nearby to knock him unconscious. The only time a dwarf can be trapped is if he's knocked out cold.






Selling the nobles to the elves huh? I believe you've found a punishment more sinister than magma.

 That overweight pompous fool doesn't mean a thing to me! And I'll never leave! And you don't have the balls to kill me!

 Will a replacement come? I think one will. The King is a nobility class of his own. Whereas my role is an upgrade, the King is unique.

 Cage traps?! YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME!
