Baron is currently bugged.  It will be promoted from your mayor if, and only if, you allow the dwarven caravan to leave the map BEFORE the liason's first conversation with your mayor that visit.

Just keep creating more wealth, they should come in force eventually. If you're really keen on being sieged kill the human diplomat.

Oh and i don't think the baron has to do anything with sieges. But I also don't get the bug, pretty much every fort the liaison will just give me the option to suggest a dwarf, who becomes a baron about a season later.

Wasn't that fixed with .17?

Baron seems to work now, the liason will ask you to pick a name before he leaves, and you'll get promoted soon thereafter.

Sieges are random and do happen.  Maybe someone knows what triggers them.

Civilizations tend to die out more in the current release.  Check before embarking -- the humans may be out of range or gone entirely.

i think it's to do in part with population, amount of wealth / exported wealth.

so try selling lots and lots of steel serrated disks and selling them, or just dig out some cotton candy :p
