or lack there of.
Does anyone here know the exact requirements for the expedition leader to get promoted?
I've been running a good fort with some interesting uses for my water reservoir, like an unfloodable well, a 4x40 waterwheel power station, a 5z waterfall, and all of it is automated. the population has been over 50 for a while, my fort value is over half a million, and I've managed to end a goblin ambush or three with a trapped entrance (gotta love serrated discs). My well is worth near up on half the value of my fort, with an artifact chain, artifact iron bucket, and artifact mechanism.
Is there a year requirement for a mayor, or anything past population?

for anyone wondering how to fix the non-election of a mayor, even long after the 50 dorf mark, just replace the expedition leader and unpause the game. just make sure to have the required accommodations for your new mayor.

Population may need to be higher; honestly, the mayor seems to appear randomly once you hit some threshold of population/wealth.

Now, in regards to the baron/count/duke, I know how to get them 100% of the time, so if you have trouble with that just let me know.

Make sure you're on the latest version.  There was a long-running bug where you would simply never have a mayor elected, but that was fixed a version or two back.

I've been running 0.31.12 since it hit, and hadn't had a mayor until I decided to replace the expedition leader with someone with better social skills. That encompasses 8 forts over 110 dorfs.

while we're on the subject of nobles and whatnot, if i make my baroness go crazy and kill herself do i get another one or is that gone for good?
