I need to create an office for my expedition leader.

So I built a wall outside with floors and a ceiling. Then I added a rock throne and made it a throne room and study. I assigned it to the proper dwarf. It still says he has no office. I don't get it.   :confused:

Did I miss something?

A table in front of the chair, hard to keep stock writing on your knees.

You don't need a table.

Ha. Well it turned out to be a silly mistake on my part.

I had two miners with the same first name and similar last names. I had assigned the table to the wrong one.   :roll:

I stand corrected.  I suppose that since he doesn't need paper or books either he sits in the chair so that he can concentrate on keeping all those numbers in his head.

[Skanky]

I assume he has a laptop computer and writes the numbers directly to the stock screen.

What?

The Inca had that number system with the knots and the strings, which Wikipedia tells me is called a quipu.  Maybe the  brokers have one of those going in their beards.  That might explain how sitting in a chair gets you to legendary faster than any other job in the fort.
You'd have to be pretty legendary to keep track of thousand of pieces of loose stone using only your facial hair.

Nobles occasionally eat dinner inside their office, and sometimes (if important) meet people there.

In the interest of fairness, I give them a table and 2 chairs. Visitors, if entertained by a noble, will actually sit down in the chair when doing so.

Or at least one review of the game did say so, before the 3d version, as one of the anecdotes about how detailed the game is.

The actually carve into their flesh.  That's how they get so tough

Or they just pick up a random rock and carve the numbers into the stone with their finger nails. That's how they become so strong.

You have captured the essence of humor. That is hilarious. You have certainly earned this:
