SEE HERE!! It's epic man.  Alot of nobles now too, I don't think I'll miss the philosopher with these guys!

Neat-o!

"Chief medical dwarf to the bridge..."
hehe...
More victims!

[Jay]

That has been on there for over a month.
Also, you spelled "released" incorrectly.

Bridge as in the control center, of the FUN atom-smashing kind?

Hm, it seems to me that the mayor is given far, FAR too much control over what Dwarves are appointed where.  The idea of the mayor being able to randomly reassign my Bookkeeper to some untalented nobody on a whim sounds especially nasty.  I really hope those entries listing that mean that the player can assign those positions, because otherwise the game is going to become extraordinarily un-fun when the randomizer gets abusive about who's put into what position...

No need to fear, you still get to choose your book-keeper, manager, etc. You even get to choose one of your Dwarves to be the Baron now:

All appointments made by dwarves in your fortress are controlled by the player.  This is part of the slow move toward having every action performed by the player be an official action of some dwarf or another.  The land holder appointments from the civ also take input from the player.  I don't think it would react well to multiple land holder positions at a given level.  It's not really resilient there at this point.

[Ironhand]

EEeee!

In that case, that is awesome.  I'd rather like being able to assign all noble positions (even the king, but I can live with one annoying noble).  That way I can put my most genuinely useless Dwarves or the ones with the easiest preferences to fulfill in positions that are prone to mandates and demands.

I'm a doctor Jim, not an Animal Dissector.

Nice to see it on the wiki for those who haven't been reading the list thread. More organized and easier to read than the raw preview, too. Kudos to Mason for putting this together.


Of course, there'll probably be a few things that'll need to be updated when the new version's actually released. For one thing, Toady seemed to imply that not all of those will be encountered in Fortress mode; the generals and lieutenants I think only did things in Worldgen, and the forced administrator seems like a site leader for conquered territories. And then there's the whole "different civs have different nobles" thing.

[Sensei]

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN.

Also: "Forced Administrator"? I guess dwarves don't like administrating. It's funny that it has [KILL_QUEST] too. "First they forced me to do all this paperwork, and then they tried to kill me!"

[Sysice]

I think that means that they give out quests to kill, not that quests are generated to kill them.

It's good that it's finally on the wiki. I read it on FotF, but I could never find it again in a million steps.

[Sizik]

I noticed that Forced Administrators have the unique tag [CONQUERED_SITE]. Perhaps if a dwarven civilization conquers one of another race, they choose a member of the site to be their representative.

[LordNagash]

Dwarves have always done that.
