Just purely for FPS issues, I don't like running forts that huge, but it is irksome that one of the main "story arcs" can't be completed without them.
I don't see anything in the raws that refers to population minimums or to "metropolis" status for the monarch. Is there a workaround?

[Quietust]

The only workaround would involve a binary patch - the requirements for becoming a Metropolis are (and have always been) hardcoded to the following:
* Population 140
* At least 5 of the following:
** 50 crafting jobs
** 50 metal-related jobs
** 50 wood-related jobs
** 20 gem jobs
** 50 stone jobs
** 50 food jobs

[Quietust]

Just realized there is another workaround - while the requirements for becoming a Metropolis are fixed, it is certainly possible to use DFHack to make yourself a Metropolis with a single command:

Code: [Select]

:lua df.global.ui.fortress_rank = 5

Nice! Would this also work for going to a higher nobility level if your baron died or something, and getting a replacement? Or would you just rank up by name alone, up until the monarchy?

[Meph]

Yes, it should work like that. Just use 1,2,3 or 4, instead.
Edit: I stand corrected.

Quietust: So I just make a lua file called "GetMonarch.lua" (or anything else), add this line

Code: [Select]

:lua df.global.ui.fortress_rank = 5 and run it int dfhack with GetMonarch ? Nothing else needed in the script?

Would this also work for going to a higher nobility level if your baron died or something, and getting a replacement? Or would you just rank up by name alone, up until the monarchy?

No, those are completely separate - it'll just rank you up by name. It would've worked back in 0.28.181.40d, but not in 0.31 or later.
