Can rulers step down from power if they are incapable to rule in this version?

Can rulers step down from power if they are incapable to rule in this version?

Rulers who get were-beasted or who learn necromancy leave their position.  In the coming version, rulers will get replaced during play.  Does that answer your question?

Abdication isn't in, if that's what you mean.

Can't they already leave their position to become leader of a religion, though? I seem to remember that happening one time while I was looking through some legends, but there may have been a curse involved.

Thanks, but I was trying to say if a ruler lost all of their limbs and couldn't do anything.

[WillowLuman]

He could still sit on a throne like a paperweight and give orders.

Maybe if you cut out the tongue, though...

A monarch's usefulness is inversely correlated with his capacity to meddle in governmental matters, you know?

[Sephimaru]

Well, I think it would make sense that he should be able to conduct meetings.
No high priority though.

If you don't like your ruler, you can kill them and they will be replaced.  They might not decide to come if the replacement is living off site.

How do you make someone unable to conduct meetings? I don't think Df models a way to make someone become mute.

That works.

New Devlog!

I really hope Toady is able to handle the exposition issues well; it seems to me that knowing/finding out what the hell is going on is going to be a huge challenge, and one that only grows as all these complex social models get added to the game. To be fair, it's a pretty big hassle in analogous real world situations (which is why news agencies are such a huge thing,) but hopefully there's some concessions to gameplay as far as explaining the nonsense goes.

[CaptainArchmage]

From the new devlog, it looks like the monsters of twilight got scared out of their lairs and ran into the trees. This should happen in the release, and you should be able to get missions from these monsters to clean out the beasts.

I expect a lot of adventure mode play this time around.

Wow.. it seems this baby will see the light in August maybe?

July.
