mayor election
« on: March 13, 2012, 10:32:58 am »
I noticed that my dorfs occasionally switch the mayor. This does not trigger an announcement, I only notice a little afterwards when he changes the mandates.
I support dorf democracy but is it normal that there is nothing in the announcements? I feel this is a bug an a newly elected mayor should cause the game to pause and notify me.
Does anyone know when new elections happen, how often, what are they triggered by?

It's probably seasonally, but it can be several years until they change.  It does get very frustrating, and we've been trying to do something about it.  If it's a real bother, you can mod it out (in a new world) but there's no announcement possible for a mayor change and all of our attempts to get a "mayoral suite" made which would automatically change ownership to the new noble, has been unheeded.
