[YashaAstora]

I've had the dwarven caravan come twice and both times a duke consort has arrived. He asks me if I would like to nominate any dwarves for nobility. I've always said "no" because I don't want to deal with more useless assholes but I don't actually know if I need to say yes to get some stuff. I haven't had the outpost liasion draw up trade agreements with me either time the caravan has come--do I have to say yes to the duke consort to actually get trade agreements? The wiki is remarkably unhelpful in this regard.

The duke consort is the spouse of the duke. The duke consort doesn't do anything that I know of.

I think you might need a Baron for trade agreements, but I'm not sure about that.

Yeah, your home civ won't do trade agreements with you until you accept their offer to become a barony/county/duchy. Sucks when you get a holding immediately upon an embark if you hoped to rely on the Mountainhome bringing stuff you need and don't want nobles.

...But you can make agreements with other civs (if they send a trade representative) without becoming a "official part of the realm".

Well, hm. Guess I'll use this year to make some quarters for a baron and accept their offer next year.

Accepting residence of a duke or consort will not make your fort a duchy.
These are nobles from other settlements.

Getting the offer to become a barony is an entirely different thing, which depends on population, wealth and perhaps also exported/gifted wealth. When you meet the criteria, the outpost liaison will make you the offer when he next visits with the trade caravan in autumn (or perhaps the year after that, it is possible that the outpost liaison must first visit your map when you meet the criteria, head back to the Mountainhome to report you meet the criteria, and return next year to offer you to become a barony.)
