So, new fortress, first year. Getting things set up, when suddenly I notice:

"Olin Kubuksobir, king has mandated the construction of certain goods."

...what?

I go check the unit screen. I'm still on my original seven and one of them has apparently gone and crowned himself king!

Is there any theoretical circumstance where this could legitimately happen or is this another DF2014 bug? I'm a little pissed because this probably means I can't get the retinue of soldiers now. (Though I guess with new versions coming right and left it doesn't matter much.)

It's on the bug-tracker, yes. 

[DracMonster]

Ah, ok.

[samanato]

The new version is a little funny atm.  Toady's still working on random crashes, and I'd assume most of the major bugs would be gone by about three or four updates in the future.

One other interesting thing on this fortress. I dug into the side of a volcano. It somehow burst through a portion of its topmost wall and started a continuous lava flow down the side of the mountain. I'm not even sure when it started doing that. I actually like this and hope it's not a bug. The way its flowing is no danger to my fortress and adds some serious cool points.

(It also let me discover that trees are now apparently impervious to lava.)

Trees were magma-proof for a long time.  They didn't seem to burn properly for some reason, though they should now.
