'Friendly King'
« on: December 02, 2009, 12:50:54 am »

I recently got my first king. Lo and behold the king, and his consort, are listed as 'friendly' and are thus hanging out on the side of the map... not heading to the fortress. I'm aware this happens when the king is a non-dwarf... but in this instance my king is one. Is this normal behavior (which I believe it is?) And what are my options?

The only thing that comes to mind is that he might be a dwarf from a different civilization, who joined yours in the same way that other species do. The 'friendly' thing could be civilization-related rather than species-related. See how many dwarf civilizations are around, and maybe skim the world history a bit? That's all I got.

That is very likely the case, if I recall there were at least five dwarf civs that survived world gen.
