for me the one who is chosen is the first dwarf, is this for anyone else?

: Not consistently IME. In one of my recent games, where I'd chosen the starting skills on the assumption that the first dwarf will be the leader, that turned out not to be the case. Since then I've been assigning my chosen leader a level of the [[Judge of Intent]] skill, which seems to have been working pretty consistently (although it's only been a handful of embarkations since). --[[User:Raumkraut|Raumkraut]] 09:17, 19 June 2008 (EDT)

-::I heard somewhere that the [[Manager]] skill weights the leader choosing pretty heavily, and that's been my experience. I've had dwarves with high Judge of Intent get passed over, but once I throw the (otherwise unnecessary, it builds so fast) Manager skill in there, they're almost always picked. If they're not, don't worry. They'll be replaced by the mayor soon enough, and all the more important starting noble positions (like [[Broker]]) can be replaced by the player on the nobles screen. --[[User:Zombiejustice|Zombiejustice]] 11:39, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
-==Merging==
-Can't this section simply be merged into the Mayor section? They're the same position with the same duties. This one is just the level "below". (SirPenguin, May 11 2009)
-:One is indeed just a continuation and expansion of the other - that would need to be made clear.  While there are diffs, there is also much info the same that could be combined. It would require a second sidebar to be consistent with the formatting on other pages, since the requirements for the two are different.  I can't think of a good reason not to combine them, other than style - it's certainly not too much info for one page.  (Unless adding that second side template would be a problem?) --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 06:39, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
-::I agree, a merging is needed.  --[[User:Smartmo|Smartmo]] 23:54, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
-:::Done, under [[Leader]].  Proof-reading requested. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 08:13, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
