I can has mayor? ...pls?
« on: May 23, 2011, 04:00:48 pm »

Playing vanilla .25, its the first fort I've had in a while that actually interested me enough to keep going past the first year. Currently have a 3 yr old fort with nearly 100 dwarves all from imigration (only 1 birth so far), tons of wealth, caravans leave loaded with crap, not a single death has been had. While technically I should be a barron/county I still only have an expedition leader. Why?

Only other things worth noting is that I currently have invasions turned off, because I wanted to focus more on the building aspects of the game. And that my civ screen states that "this civ has no important leaders". As far as I know that only means I'll never get the king, not that I cant have any nobles ever.

It might be a stupid question but do you have sufficient roads? I remember overhearing you need a certain road value or some such to be eligeble.
Never had a baron or anything like that myself so I'm probably wrong.

Roads only count for the king, I believe.

The mayor is a litle weird sometimes..I've had it show up late but that does sound like a long time.  Only req for Mayor is the 50 pop but it seems like it checks fairly infrequently

I wish I had something cool to say about this.  Because it's really cool.

At what in-game date did your population go over 50? What is the current in-game date?

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

If I had to guess late-spring/early summer of my second year (1105). Fall has just started on my third year(1106). When I get up later I'll wait until the dwarven caravan comes and see what happens.

Elections seem to happen on the ~15th of Hematite every other year, so you'll probably get your mayor next summer.
