No important leaders
« on: November 23, 2008, 01:17:56 pm »

I recently was looking at the civ menu in my game and clicked on the dwarf civ, however, instead of showing me a list of the king, queen, other important leaders, it just showed me the message, "This civilization has no important leaders." Does this mean that even though there are other dwarven civilizations, and I am still getting immigrants from them, that every single noble in the world has been slain? Because that would be really cool.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

They're obviously living in some sort of communist paradise where everyone is the boss of themselves. It does mean that you can never get a king though.

on a related note, if you kill off all of the local goblin rulers do you still get seiges?  heh Dwarvern Communism, Baron cancels Mandate: product of outdated imperialist ideology.  "Monarchy?  I thought that this was an anarcho-syndicalist collective?"

I'm fairly sure that once they start, they never stop, and that their start condition is not related to whether or not the goblins have rulers.  So, mmm, yeah.

They certainly keep coming if you slaughter their leaders in fortress mode - I'm not sure what the situation would be for (say) killing them all in adventure mode and then starting a fortress.  I suspect they'd keep a-comin'.
