I don't think the peasant king is a result of wealth from adamantine.  With DFHack I changeveined some unrevealed worthless stone into adamantine and on discovery I received the 'Raw adamantine praise the miners' message.  Next migrant wave contained the king dressed as a peasant, which admittedly crashed the game because of the items carried.  The interesting thing is that stone converted was a small cluster, and in a previous fort I had changed an entire layer to adamantine, but the layer had already been discovered.

This was in a previous version (the one right before Toady fixed vamps bringing thousands of items) but it might be something to try, just remember: use an undiscovered vein/cluster.  It does not even need to be mined just discovered.

i came to the conclusion that discovering adamantine in a normal stone layer would trigger monarch arrival dressed as a peasant.

so i converted a small vein of undiscovered aluminium using dwarf hack into raw aluminium and then dug it out and smoothed the walls.

no migrant waves came for a few seasons until out of the blue a message pops up
"your ruler has arrived dressed as a peasant"

unfortinutly i did not capture the image.

i did however get this

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

as you can see i have 15 dwarves 1 is the queen and 41 dead entities meaning it was imposible for me to ever have 140 dwarfs als i have not had a baron

Can somebody else verify this, with screens? Your image link is broken, sackhead.

I found this in version 31.25, and it's currently on the 31.25 discussion page for monarch, IIRC.

Also, the actual required amount, based on the init, is 100.

OMG, theres no need for name calling, just because his image is broken....
Oh, his name is sackhead, nevermind .
Personally i have only seen a king once, and my forts usually stay below 100 population.
Then again i rarely play long enough to get Candy.

[sackhead]

i should have fixed the image now...

[GiglameshDespair]

Doesn't work for me.

Try uploading it to an actual image hosting site. For one, you're not even linking to an image, you're linking to https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/zoapa3QFxmMweKVRmrN1psr919xe61bSxSLzmIrJwgCrKUg7BF8xKjjRK5bfsIetbNKqHWfXLrE.

... Was this thought to be removed in the more recent versions?
It's been in the game ever since i play. In the cavern versions my forts usually don't last long/dig deep enough to find out anymore.

Hate new military system.

Hate new military system.

I've tried 40d's--almost completely incomprehensible.

Never got a monarch from discovering candy. In 34.07 I had a fort where I discovered it really early on, with under 30 dwarfs, as a vein was connected to the magma sea, but the monarch only showed up much later, after fulfilling the normal requirements.

[misko27]

WEll, I've heard that this happened in long ago versions, but my monarch always waits to show up.

[sackhead]

i ment to say not in a tube but in normal stone layers finding a candy tube wont trigger it as far as I know
