I just struck Adamantium recently in one of my forts. I got the message that the king arrived dressed as a peasant about a year ago. However, he never "decloaked" so to speak. I have a peasant who is listed under my manager on the assign screen, so I assume he is supposed to be my king. But he is still listed as a  peasant. I don't have anybody listed on the noble screen. Looking at the civs. screen, I noticed that my parent civ. does not have any leaders listed. Does anybody know what could cause this?

The peasant most likely isn't your king, but is instead part of the migrant wave your non-existent king was supposed to arrive in. To my knowledge, if a leader or liaison dies ingame, they won't be rechosen.

Blockedlances is based on a mad phsyco queen who was reelected when the old one died.

Your king arriving "disguised as a peasant" does not mean you get a peasant dwarf who is actually your king. It means you get your king, as the regular noble with all his requirements and so on, but you don't get his spouse or entourage.

That was giving a dwarf the custom title of queen, not actually appointing a new one through game mechanics.

For the OP, you might check the unit list for deceased units, among which your king might be listed if he somehow died in an accident or went mad without your noticing. I'm pretty sure the peasant king will still be listed as a king rather than a peasant in the noble screen.

You may have a non-dwarven king, too, which are rather bugged.  I believe a non-dwarven king will be listed as "friendly" on your units screen, and will simply hang around on the edge of the map.

[Derakon]

It's not just non-dwarven kings; it's kings (or queens) of any race that are not part of your civilization.

Of course, that tends to mean elven or human kings, but it could also be a babysnatched dwarf who then took over your civ, for example.

Huh I didnt know that

And just to be clear, if your king dies, there's nothing on the noble screen to indicate that you once had a king. darkflagrance post is a little unclear about that. You have to go through the units, and you'll see 'Urist McNoble King Deceased'.

Also, in the OP, you said that you had a peasant listed under your manager; your manager is not your king. If you meant under as next in the list, then I'm baffled, if not, then you just have a peasant who has been assigned as your manager; i.e. the guy who deals with the Manager screen and ticks the tasks.
