I was wondering what I am lacking, and help would be appreciated. I currently have a mayor, and im looking to get the upgrade to baron. I know it requires 100k created wealth and 10k exported wealth. Ive roughly tripled that, and no baron. what are the other requirements?

my created wealth is over 3 million, but I still have no baron. I dont see what they get you anyway?

Someone who can make more mandates and whine about more things.

Noble trouble and make it double!

AFAIK the baron's appointment is slightly bugged - you can't let the liaison talk to your mayor until the dwarven caravan has left the map.

Also, the first thing that I thought when I read the thread title was "Looks like it's time to prescribe magma again!"

[!!crundle!!]

Remember that one of the requirements for Baron is having magma on hand.

Whats your population at?

Another trick is to give offerings to the dwarf merchants. That kicked in the upgrade from mayor only to mayor + baron, and from baron to count.

Wait, you actually want a baron?     In that case, you should probably a) check your population, your wealth, and that you haven't already had a baron who died or something (I forget the actual requirements), and b) see a psychiatrist, because something is wrong in your head.

some folks like the extra challenge of keeping nobles satisfied.

I hope nobody threatens to burn me (not before I put a bolt through thy face!) if I say this, but, I'd actually comply with nobles and their requirements. If they mandate the making stuff out of something I don't have, I'll simply ignore it. HOWEVER, the unhappy thought from having a mandate or demand ignored will be negated by having separate (literally) king-sized rooms with mithril furniture and a bed studded with gold and platinum (I use Civilization Forge, I've fiddled around with the smelter, alchemy, and iron-works reactions to make them spew out otherwise rare and scarce metals).

Well it's really not much of a challenge if you pick someone who likes iron, bronze, bins and other easily satisfied crap like I do

sounds like someone needs to revisit the definition of fun!(tm)

and btw, the fastest way to get a baron is to have half of your dwarves dropped into magma (or some other similarly brutal death). Current theory is that this persuades the outpost liason of your dwarfhood, and convinces him to let you be a barony.

The question that we all have left unasked: Somebody, why in Armok's name do you want a baron? Wouldn't it be easier to just arbitrarily kill dwarfs off and occasionally keep yourself from exporting or importing random materials?
