Did I lose my chance for a Barony?
« on: December 06, 2010, 03:50:04 pm »

I got the barony offer, and I chose to elect somebody, but then I exited it out with escape, because I didn't want to pick somebody without getting good preferences.

I quickly realized my mistake once I figured out who I wanted.

Will I ever get the offer again, or did I miss out?

(I really hope it isn't the second one, I have been playing for something like 4 years now, and due to various bugs and version changes, this is the first time I have gotten the offer, and now I might have ruined it?!)

Just keep your mayor busy while the traders are there.  The offer will be repeated.

Almost everyone that has come to Townbrush has been eaten, stabbed, crushed, drowned, hacked, incinerated, or beaten to death with an octopre skin backpack. When we're not under siege, we're being attacked by Forgotten Beasts. And when we're not being attacked by Forgotten Beasts, there's probably a zombie whale crushing someone to death in the dining room."

this. had a similar problem where my liason met an unfortunate accident, and so after a few years I just drafted my mayor into the military for a while and then let him talk to the liason again.

You can decline the offer and if you keep your mayor busy he will offer each time.

They are referring to the workaround for the not-getting-offered-a-barony bug.  The advice, therefore, is just to keep meeting the conditions to be offered a barony and you should be offered it again.

idea.  After the caravan arrives, do trading immediately, then sieze a single low value item.  The merchants will leave in a huff immediately, but there won't be repercussions as they'll be returning with a hefty profit anyway.  Then you won't have to keep your mayor drafted for as long.

You can't sieze from the dwarven caravan.
