Hey there my friends,

I have finally become the capitol of my Dwarven Civilization (The Daggers of Routing), and low-and-behold my monarch turns out to be a Goblin Presser as the Queen. I am not using any mods.

I'd built the monarch's room in advance, and was finishing up by the time she got here. But I didn't realize that it was all wasted, because she is listed as "Tame" and is treated like an animal. So right now I have her "pasture" set up as her Royal Quarters.

What do I need to download to make her claim a room? I don't want to change her race to a Dwarf, but I just want her to be able to claim a room.

inb4 "MAGMA"
inb4 "unfortunate accident"

Any help you can provide would be MOST appreciated

I don't think she NEEDS a room. I don't think she'll tantrum, due to not being a dwarf. Plus, since shes a goblin, she won't need food, water and won't die of old age. Or make any mandates. Best queen ever in my opinion. I honestly like the idea of pasturing her in the Royal Quarters as a matter of RPing.

Oh yeah she is just happy and content to wander about. But I just want to get her to claim one, because I just think it'd be cool.

Non-dwarf monarchs will never claim a room, or so I've heard. There is not much you can do about it.

[XArgon]

Heh, the king of my very first civ in DF was a Goblin Presser... at that time, looking at the "Civilization" screen, I thought he was a dwarf king whose job was pressing goblins... something of a military title, actually...

[ImagoDeo]

Here is a source of ideas for you. And here is some other stuff you should read.

[Melting Sky]

When you get a chance you should check out her story in the world's legends.

Then you know where do the blood barrels come from.

Something similar is in my modded world, except flipped.
The general of the local goblin civilization is a dwarven farmer, with the law-giver being an elven farmer.
Their war leader is still a goblin, but that must make the yearly meetings between the three really awkward.

I'm assuming this has to do with slavery.

Yeah that's cause of the Baby Snatching. I'm pretty sure that almost all nobles of goblin civs are other races.

[GavJ]

slavery and babysnatching BOTH tend to dramatically increase the number of inter-species government officials.

how do people get non dwarven monarchs to actually show up?
I've played three fortresses where the royal guard shows up but no monarch, which was a human one time and an elf the other two times.

[GavJ]

Also, if you're looking for a goblin monarch or whatever, you can:

1) Check legends.
2) If at any point in your history, there was one, even if it's gone or dead now, you can remake a new world with the same seeds as the first one.
3) Run that world gen to a year when the goblin king was still alive and ruling.
4) Embark.

Dwarven time travel.


No idea why one wouldn't show up, though.

Oh yeah buddy! I finally heard of that grand tale about a week ago. Only I didn't pay attention to Dwarf Companion thing he used... and that it just made Cacame "Tame" instead of "Friendly."

SO basically, I should just abandon hope of being able to get my fair green lady to claim her room?

It's just randomly generated that way, I believe. Every single monarch I've had has either been a Vampire or a Goblin. I've never had just a plain-jane Dwarven Monarch that's normal. I really should start paying attention to which Dwarven Civilization I base my embark out of from now on!
