This is about the spoiler king so:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Does the adamant king keep the fortress from becoming the mountain home?  I've got 149 dwarves, but i haven't seen a baron or the like.  The king is happy in his chambers, and hasn't made a demand on me since getting those royal chambers.  I'd really like to abandon this fortress as the mountain home, so it would keep going instead of killing everyone here.

[Hyndis]

Kings do not make demands, ever. Also your fortress should become a mountain home if your king arrives. If your king is there then it is the seat of that civilization.

[The_Kakaze]

Well the button still says abandon... will the fort continue afterwords since the king is there?

[Shade-o]

No, never.

i actually have a question regarding the king. does him making your fortress a "mountain home" actually have any use, or is it just a pointless thing that his arrival does?

You don't get dwarven caravans any more, since they come from the mountainhome and you're the mountainhome.

ISNT THAT A BAD THING!?!

Not true - while kings don't make Mandates, they DO make Demands (e.g. "item in room").

Also not true - you'll still get dwarven caravans, but you won't get a liaison anymore, since the liaison became the Advisor.

[Hyndis]

Ehh, a demand is something you can easily ignore. Its the mandates that cause hammerings.

But you do still get caravans when you have a king, you just no longer get a liaison.

Sometimes the liaison joins you, becoming the king's adviser when the king migrates to your fortress.

and 'mysterious accidents'.

That stinks!  I could have sworn there was something in the wiki that said the king would allow a different type of ending for the fort.... grrr

Keep digging that adamantium out, you'll unlock a new ending eventually.

So to speak.

[The_Kakaze]

heh, the clowns were no match for 15 adamantine armed and armored champions with crossbow support behind walls.

[Cruxador]

Well, darn. No end for you, then.

There's still an end, most likely. And it will happen something like this.
Most likely, your king will make friends. I can't remember if they do or not, but they probably do.
Chances are, your king is old. They tend to be, really.
Most likely, when he kicks the bucket there will be tantrums. A symptom of friendship.
Chances are, the tantrums will cause more deaths, creating more tantrums...
Chances are, your fort is on a timer now, the end of which being a massive self-destruct.
Enjoy what remains of your fort.
On a brighter note, if you can get ahold of legends mode, you can see when he was born. Dwarves live... what, ~250 years? ~120? Anyway.
