No Important Leaders?
« on: May 10, 2011, 05:13:53 pm »
My home civ, just after embark, apparently has no important leaders according to the civilization screen. Their last legends entry is a dwarf becoming general some 215 years earlier.

Is this actually the case, or do I just need a caravan to come along before I can hear about them? I'd like a king and all that.

EDIT: I found a civ that lists a general and a queen-- does this indicate all necessary royalty, or will I not get a king along with the queen?

The civ is dead.

Thats confusing, how and where did you find that civ? Did you abanon and went to legends? Did you check other civs in the "c" screen?

I had a queen along a general when I embarked. Later on, the Queen moved to my fortress (without the general though)

I checked another civ in legeds to find that queen, yeah. Maybe it's the excessive savagery causing all this? I gen my worlds with brutal surroundings...

My civ had no important leaders, but it is well and alive. Dwarven comrades don't need no sucking king. Liaisons are appointed as leaders, but they will keep losing their status after leaving the map. I got all immigrants I could (now I have 220 dwarfs). My land is a duchy. I'm not sure I will get a king though. I don't build roads anyway. I've heard that you may get a non-dwarven king, but will see.
