I had a mini tantrum spiral resulting from my efforts to save FPS by culling my fort's children with Dwarf Companion. It didn't cause much damage, but my duke was killed by an angry potash maker. Finding this undesirable - as I'm trying to create a perfect fort, worthy of the title mountainhome - I used Dwarf Comapnion to resurrect him. A few seasons later: The duke Edem Febushil has arrived.



EDIT: A few seconds after I took that screenshot, a second Duchess consort showed up as well.

There's only one thing you can do:stage a Duke fight to the death!
Or a similar test by the "gods" i.e. random lever pulling.

[Mungrul]

Yes, you must let them "duke it out" so to speak.
I'll get my coat.

[Schilcote]

See if either of them have combat skills. If one does, rename him to Nukem and let the other one play with a very pretty lever hooked up to some shiny iron or glass spikes.

[Grakelin]

I don't know if I would call a place where children are systematically culled the 'perfect' fortress.

[bmaczero]

Duke Nukem?

...

I don't know if I would call a place where children are systematically culled the 'perfect' fortress.

I don't know if I would call a place where someone uses Dwarf Companion to cheat the 'perfect' fortress.

I don't know if I would call a place where children are systematically culled the 'perfect' fortress.

But that's practically the definition!

If you want to ENSURE your Duke has combat skills, set up one (maybe two) cages with goblin thieves or wrestlers in a small room with a lever, and set the lever to unleash the goblins and seal the door (or lock it yourself).  If they have some decent stats from social skills, they should wreck the goblins (after some running around; nobles don't like getting into fights) and get some wrestling skill.  No armor or actual weapon skills, but hey, training a noble up to legendary wrestling can lead to some Fun tantrums.

Just how many dukes are *supposed* to show up at a fort, anyways?

Because seriously, I have three

[SinisterMinisterX]

How did you get three? I thought only one at a time was possible. (Without Dwarf Companion, obviously.)

[Deimos56]

Duke Nukem?

Don't do this. He'll be there forever and won't do anythin--...
wait, that's what they always do.

[NW_Kohaku]

Duke Nukem?

Don't do this. He'll be there forever and won't do anythin--...
wait, that's what they always do.

I thought the joke was that they would never show up?

I don't know if I would call a place where someone uses Dwarf Companion to cheat the 'perfect' fortress.

It's more using Dwarf Companion to fix the cock-up I made in not changing the fortress birth limit. Seriously, I had like 70 kids of various ages. My FPS was through the floor.

[DarkDragon]

I had two duke consorts at one point in my fort. The previous duchess had thrown herself under the magma forges in a fit of depression over the quality of her chair or some other bullshit, her husband was briefly upset, and then immediately shot up to ecstatic for no apparent reason.

I think he hated her.

He hung around for nearly 2 years until he finally went mad around the same time as the new duke/ducheess did.

This fort is a deathtrap for nobles. My queen LOVES her rooms and has been perfectly fine, but I'm on my 6th duke/duchess combo.
