Avoiding multiple mayors
« on: April 22, 2010, 12:24:49 pm »
A previous fort of mine had two mayors due to the retired mayor bug.  I want to make sure this doesn't happen again.  For my new fort, is it enough to just turn off all jobs for the current mayor so he can be idle and chat other dwarves up, or are there other steps I need to take?

Yes, but thats no guarantee.

You could always remove the elections from the major position so mayors will never be elected, but then if your expedition leader ever dies, you're screwed.

Theres a whole bunch of noble related bugs which are probably interconnected, so I don't know if there is an easy way to avoid this.

Besides hoping that Toady gets it fixed up soon. The changelog hasn't been updated in a while, not sure whats going on.
