Unable to appoint Nobles.
« on: March 05, 2011, 04:49:03 pm »
Apparently, once all your nobles are killed, it's somehow impossible to reappoint new ones. This also makes it impossible to create new squads. Is there any way to fix this?

Are you sure about squads? If you assign dwarves to military without there being a commander/captains, the ones first assigned to squads get the positions automatically.

And if that doesn't work, what exactly does happen when you try it?

Well if you remove the [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE] tag from dwarves I think they have like 2-4 children each time they give birth. And if you get enough mothers up on the pillars you can probably get a good waterfall going.

Ashes are technically fire-safe.

When I try to appoint a militia commander, instead of a list of dwarves, I only get a message saying "You Need somebody who can appoint this position. When I try to fill the squad without a commander, I see the list, but I can't add anybody without a commander.

I've never seen this personally, but if you wait long enough, I *think* they'll appoint a new mayor for you and then you should be able to do something.

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

That didn't work. My migrants are slowly dying of dehydration because there's a troll sitting at the entrance to the fortress, cutting them off from the booze. Maybe if I designate all the booze to be dumped, they'll be willing to drink water. It'll only be a temporary solution though.

Trolls aren't that strong.  Draft all the migrants and attack it!

The point of this thread is that I couldn't draft anybody at all.

No matter now. Everybody's dead.
