If my King was to die at my fort in fortress mode, will his son become King? Does the same thing happen with my Baron?

I think that this is currently working that way in 40.0x. I do know that in the case that a dwarven civ has died and you start a fortress dwarfs within the fortress will assume those positions.

I had heard in previous versions that the succession tag would only work in worldgen, rather than during fortress mode. Has anyone had the experience of killing a baron?

I can confirm that Toady has made successions work for the .40 release. In adventure mode, killing entity leaders results in their heirs taking control, and embarking in fort mode as an extinct civilisation delegates the appropriate positions to your own dwarves.

So, yes. If your king dies, his son will take his place. Barring any bugs, of course...

I'm perfectly fine with another Cacame.

Those monarch requirements right at the start of the game...

So to confirm finally to put the issue to rest; in theory if my Baron or King dies in some horrible, unfortunate accident then his child will take his place? And presumably if he has no children (god forbid) I will have no King or Baron?

Actually, in the latter case, some random dwarf might become Baron or King. Not sure. This calls for !!!SCIENCE!!! to determine how that works.

Arcvasti is correct.
