No liaison, but no monarch either
« on: July 22, 2014, 10:07:16 am »

I was under the impression that liaisons would show up unless your civilization was dead; but if my civilization were dead, I should have a King or Queen at my fort, shouldn't I?

Is there another possible reason for not getting liaisons?

I think the more common reason for liaisons not showing up is that they get intercepted by something and killed.

Did you have caravans from the mountainhome ?

It seem unlikely that something manage to kill the liaison every single year.

Yes, both times, with the "How curious..." dialog.

Well it's only been two years so far on this fort, so it's not outside the realm of reasonable possibility.

Also from what I've heard liaisons getting intercepted is really common sometimes. Probably when you're really far from the mountainhomes and so it takes a long time for them to get there and they have to travel through dangerous areas.

My first fort in 40.02 lacked a liason, it took three full years before a new one was finally appointed and arrived.
