The king has arrived...
« on: May 05, 2020, 03:22:20 pm »

Well soon at the start of the new fortress, suddenly the king appear on stage
The ruler of my civiization decided that my fortress is the place to be  :D
(never a dull moment in DF )

But he king has high standards and i don't know if the humble fortress at this stage can offer him some decent housing ?
I am afraid that the king must live under poor livingconditions temporarily and hopefully it has no consequenzes for the civilization where i live in.

Most likely the previous king died and a new one was appointed, and happened to be in your fortress. That typically happens either when the civ is "struggling" or if the mountainhome has been conquered. You'll get a message along the lines of "After a polite discussion with local rivals...". Getting a king early is stressful, but I've been able to deal with it by fulfilling the basic needs with 11*11 size rooms that are gradually improved.

The other case I can think of is that the monarch arrives as the Trade Liaison (happened to me), in which case he'll stay for a season or two and then return back home.
