Okay sooo.. My Baron died.

Will I ever be able to gain another or am I screwed for the rest of the fortress?

[misko27]

YOU ARE SCREWED!

Seriously, sorry. Probably could mod-fix it.

Happened to me with my first Baron.

[Lopezruy]

That sucks. Oh well. All in the fun, right?

Time to search for a new embark.

Who cares about the baron? I kill those bastards regularly when they get too annoying. Its not like he affects how the fort works anyway.

They are cool the first time you get them, then you realize that they are just demanding bastards who give nothing in return. The king is really the worst though...

It is worth noting that when Dwarves appoint their barons, they often choose the Dwarf most capable of taking several strikes to face, administered via silver warhammer.

My Baron is a legendary Marksdwarf who regularly strolls around in raining blood shooting zombies in the face. I'd say that's a  valid contribution.

Fair enough, although you are aware that you can yourself choose whos baron and who isnt right? Choosing someone who is unlikely to mandate stuff which is hard to do (ex: lack of wood and he wants beds) and can be killed without loss is almost an absolute if you dont want to risk crippling your fort in a random mandate.

Mandates are a part of DF fun. I'd want it to be a challenge to deal with in the event of slade beds.

"He thought he was being a smartass, asking for slade beds. I just turned to him, looked him dead in the eye, and asked, 'how many'?"

That's right. If a noble asks for some unobtanium in my fortress, he better damn well get it or so help me Armok, the peasant housing is getting obsidianised. Cheesemakers are a drain on the economy anyway.
