I understand you can become like a lord or leader of a group but can you actually like kill the lord of a town than claim yourself lord of the town or could you set up a small base in the wilderness and have a camp of sorts or even eventually turn it into a small settlement.

[Andmore]

Presumably in the upcoming version. AFAIK you can claim a space for yourself using k. You don't have to kill the current leader, and, as far as I am aware, you probably don't want to, because everyone will hate you for it.

You arn't actually in control unless you kill the previous leader, make sure to recruit people though because otherwise you will probably get a revolt very quickly, seek out the old lords soldiers and kill them all to minimize the risk.

[Rumrusher]

You could take over a dwarf fort if you migrate a character there and just assign them leader.

[FoiledFencer]

As far as I understand, the next version will include adventure mode building and construction. So you should be able to build a small settlement with houses and a palisade in the woods and claim it, yes.

Most hamlets will only give you "real" "control" over the site if you run the lord out of town or kill him--you get a special message telling you and NPCs (vaguely) acknowledge it after you get the message.

That said you can murder him where nobody will see and dispose of his corpse by, say, putting his dismembered parts in a bag and throwing them into a river or something.

the funny thing is that you can ACTUALLY do that. And it will work. DF is crazy.

Brilliant! I'll be sure to attempt to pull it off the next time I want some area for myself.

But then again once next version comes out I'll be more busy building my own fort or a tower on a flat patch of land.

[Urist McVoyager]

As long as we can set up stable populations in them, I'll be content to pick a nation, strengthen its borders with forts, and grab the soldiers to run them. Assuming we can block off passes. Which will probably have to wait until we can change the landscape itself and de-ramp hillsides to keep enemies out.

I did it once, actually. Nobody suspected a thing--I got the idea from one of Toady's modlogs in which he stated that people won't accuse you of crimes they haven't heard of. Nobody sees the crime? Nobody hears about it.

[Ekaton]

Is there anything to do after you kill the lord and become one yourself? Any decisions you can make or orders to give?

[ShinQuickMan]

You can give or demand tribute from other leaders, though it's unknown what this actually does (if anything). You can also get hearthpeople. That's about it.
