i got my first king today after completing the tasks to get one.. arcitecture value, offerings, and road , and the next migration wave (of 35- wow!) i got a king and the kings wife, along with his 4 bouncers, a legendary+5 axedwarf, a legendary+5 macemen, and two legendary+5 spearmen, and lastly the outpost liason..


while looking through my kings history, i see that he has 10 kids not much.. ok... but i also noticed he's 121 years old, and that his wife, the queens consort is 118 years old.... .. .. !

while digging even deeper, i found that the outpost liason was the kings grandaughter at 67 years old

ok... damn.. thats wierd.. while digging even deeper on the relations screen i found out that the king, 121 years old is the uncle of his wife, 118 years old


what the hell?? i havent even breached the legends yet...

And this is why I turn off the history. Ow my head. *resists playing "I'm my own grandpa"*

by the way.. what is the average lifespan for a dwarf?

[Mini]

According to the wiki, 150-170 years.

Lifespan? Since when do dwarves need natural deaths? 

[Ubiq]

I've seen an occasional dwarf die of old age at around 140, but that's fairly rare. The oldest dwarf I've ever see was a liason who dropped dead in my meeting hall at 188.

If you decide to keep the fort for that long, you could probably keep him around for at least thirty or forty years.

One of these days i'm going to make a dwarven family tree. I doubt it will look much like a 'normal' family tree 

[Askot Bokbondeler]

if i remember right, ultimogeny was usual in old northern cultures. technically, the elder sons would leave to find their own fortune and make their own name while the youngest son would stay behind to take care of his father seat and the house. perhaps dwarven kings have their elder son founding new mountainhomes and the youngest inherits the throne and the capital

[GuudeSpelur]

Or perhaps we're forgetting that even dwarven crown princes/princesses are still just as prone to horrible deaths as peasants are.
